Postage costs and delivery times for Priority letters

Postage costs for letters are determined by size, thickness and weight. Delivery times vary depending on the delivery speed you choose for your letter, and where it's sent from and where it's headed.  

Check our letter size and weight guide to confirm if your item can be sent as a small letter/postcard, large letter, or seasonal greeting card including a Christmas card.
