An Post tolerance on package size

Discodog · 2020-02-02 15:49:18

I am sending a small packet to Europe. I just noticed that the price doubles over 2kg as it gets classed as a parcel. How much tolerance do Post Offices allow regarding size & weight ? For example, if you are sending 4 kg, you save around 50% if you can split it into 2 x 2kg.
