Updated Payment, Postage and Timestamps pages.

| Royal Mail (1-3 days, **recommended for smaller items**) | Cheap for smaller items, can drop off at post offices, collection service offered for 72p per item | Costly for larger items (>2kg) | [Link](https://royalmail.com) |
| ParcelForce (1-2 days) | Can either drop off at post office/depot or have parcel collected | Is relatively expensive | [Link](https://parcelforce.com) |
| UPS (1-2 days, **recommended for larger items**) | Reasonably priced, can drop off at local UPS access point or arrange collection, can have multiple parcels collected at once for relatively low cost (£2.40) | Insurance can be costly depending on the value of the item | [Link](https://www.ups.com/ship/guided) (make sure to book with UPS.com directly and not UPSToday) |
| Hermes (1-5 days) | Cheap for smaller items, drop off at Hermes ParcelShop or collection available | NOT RECOMMENDED - UPS/Parcelforce often cheaper for larger items, can be slow and items frequently go missing | [Link](https://www.myhermes.co.uk/) |

Try to avoid using all-caps for emphasis, use bold text instead:

Reason for this is that a screen reader might read an all-caps word as individual letters rather than a full word.

- The only exception is sealed items - these must clearly show the seal on the box as well as the timestamp.
- Show the exact model number of the item you're selling if possible.
- Only one of the images in a collection of images needs to be timestamped, as long as it meets the requirements.

Please create an img directory inside assets, and use an image embed like so (note the exclamation point at the start of the line):

![Alt text goes here](Image URL goes here)

You can use a relative link to items in the assets folder by setting the URL to /assets/img/whatever.jpg. Make sure you set the alt text to something sensible.
