Right guys, found this out a few months ago.
If you go in to a post office on a Friday and ask to send a parcel special delivery Saturday guaranteed it would cost you £10.74 to send a small parcel.
But if you use royal mails online postage it only costs up to £8.55, £7.25 if its under 400g.
Now I've done this 6 times since and everytimr it's got there the next day.
So if you send a lot of parcels and use royal mail specifically which I do as it covers me for up to £500, then this is a nice saving.

This is NOT Saturday guaranteed that you're buying online - it's just the ordinary service, at exactly the same price you'd pay at a Post Office.
From the Royal Mail website. So actually, it's cheaper online for one reason only - you're not paying for (or getting) guaranteed Saturday delivery. You're just getting the standard next day service with no guaranteed Saturday delivery.
Chances are it will get delivered on the Saturday - but you'd have exactly the same chance if you took the package to the Post Office. At the Post Office you can buy Guaranteed Saturday Delivery - online you simply cannot.
