    Sorry mods if this is the wrong forum, feel free to move. Just curious, if I posted a letter / parcel to UK, or any other country, what percent goes to An Post, and what percent goes to Royal Mail etc :confused:

    If it's a silly thread feel free to lock, just burning with curiosity trying to find an answet to this. My uncle who's a postman doesn't even know the answer.

    I would say the sum total of €0.00.

    But are they not being compensated for carrying other countrie's mail? What if it's a parcel? Should they carry it for free? An Post won't even carry a letter for free :p

    That's actually a good point that I hadn't thought of.
