Hi friends! Here I would like to say two things about whole discussion of international postage. 1. Actually I did not check all bags which the royal national institute of blind people United kingdom sent to me. I didn't know that the free free postage label will be found in the first volume of the books I checked only one bag which was not first volume. Now I will check the first volume bags and stick the label on the bag and will go to post office later for returning the books. And second thing that the text rules had been shared in the list please tell me from where did you find this text? if you share the official link of these rules then I can prove to the post office that international postage is absolutely free for blind. Thanks and regards, Aman.
