As Royal Mail & most post authorities are rather more reliable than SAPO the need for horribly expensive registration is much reduced.

This is a long process:
I have to accumulate orders sufficient for it to be cost effective to send a packet by (very expensive courier) to UK.
I am bearing the courier cost myself and charging +/- a tiny difference the post office costs.
My people in UK will post very quickly.
The normal delivery time scales published by Royal Mail may well be compromised by complications due to Covid 19.......
Alternatively - you may opt for SAPO delivery in any event.
I will hold your order and post as soon as service is resumed.
Thank you for your patience & understanding.
