Just to follow up - the magazine arrived today and I took the unopened package to the local Post Office
Weight fine (94g)
2D size fine for small envelope
BUT difficult to go through standard slot (plastic wrapping tended to bunch and needed to be forced through).
Suggestion made that probably would have been OK if paper envelope used rather than plastic wrapping.
Decision on thickness is decided at delivery office so that explains the erratic nature of surcharge or not from different parts of the country.
Now I can open the package and read the contents!
