Similarly in darkest Aberdeenshire a slip though the door stating I need to pay 1.50 to have the delivery. Paid online and should arrive on Wednesday.
Went into local Post Office and asked them to weigh couple of previous issues
Oct 2015 (36 pages) 76g
Aug 2015 (40 pages) 84 g
BUT not just weight she said, also thickness. The August magazine barely went through the sample slot and if you add any internal packing plus the envelope it would have been tight fit. So if current tome is a 'bumper' version it may be classified as large rather than regular. Cost for 2nd class regular would be 54p while for the same as large would be 74p. So what did you pay?
Could check again at the Post Office when it arrives (and unopened) if you want.
Hope this helps
Gerald
