Consumer website Money Saving Expert says: 'This move recognises more home working and is welcome.

'But if you are looking for the best price, it's important to look at alternatives. Royal Mail is hard to beat when it comes to sending cards and letters but becomes less competitive when sending out bigger parcels – and this is when a courier might be cheaper.'
