This month the Royal Mail is introducing an offer meaning people can send bigger items for less money.
From October 20, the maximum size allowance for a small parcel will increase.
This means customers will be able to put bigger items, or more items, into every 'small parcel' they send by Royal Mail.
The small parcel allowance will be 45cm x 35cm x 16cm. It is currently 45cm x 35cm x 8cm.
The Royal Mail is also running a Christmas price promotion from October 20, 2014 to January 18, 2015.
This promotion will mean all stamped second class small parcels weighing up to 2kg will cost £2.80. Previously, there were separate prices for 0-1kg and 1-2kg parcels.
This means customers will save £1 on second class small parcels weighing between 1kg and 2kg.
Franked small parcels weighing between 1kg and 2kg will also benefit from a saving of £1 during the period of the promotion.
Nick Landon, managing director of Royal Mail Parcels, said: "We are pleased to further simplify our stamped parcels portfolio to provide great value and support consumers and small businesses.
"To launch the new small parcel format we are introducing a festive price promotion that will benefit customers sending Christmas presents to friends and relatives, marketplace sellers and smaller businesses selling gifts online."
