Royal Mail will charge customers for any letters posted without the correct price – these will be charged the difference plus a surcharge per item for inland mail and for international mail
You will need to manually weigh your item, refer to the Royal Mail franking price list and type the amount in manually or by accessing the Surcharge payment option on your franking machine.
