The price of sending some parcels is to be cut in the run up to Christmas, the Royal Mail has announced.
During the price promotion, consumers will be able to send a 1-2kg parcel for the same price as 0-1 kg parcel at a cost of £2.80.
The promotion will last from October 20 to January 18.
Royal Mail also said consumers and businesses will be able to put bigger items, or more goods, into a small parcel.
Nick Landon, managing director of Royal Mail Parcels, said: "We are pleased to further simplify our stamped parcels portfolio to provide great value and support consumers and small businesses.
"To launch the new small parcel format we are introducing a festive price promotion that will benefit customers sending Christmas presents to friends and relatives, marketplace sellers and smaller businesses selling gifts online."
