How much would a 64" x 84" sheet of glass in a beech frame weigh?

My gf is having issues with an eBay seller who says that the original listed postage of £8 isn't enough and he can't find postage cheaper than £12.90 for the frame specced above. Roughly how much would it weigh and/or what would it cost to post?

Edit: Correction on size, CM not inches - 23 1/2 x 31 1/2 inches

How thick's the glass? How thick's the beech? Details!

Sounds about right to me though...

To be honest that seems like a reasonable postage charge for that. It probably weighs more than 4kg and is pretty difficult to handle

Can I ask a stupid question? (this is not the stupid question)

Always, but stupid questions beg stupid answers.

Wait, sorry, 64x84 CM - 23 1/2" x 31 1/2", slightly smaller!

It's the sellers fault for not looking in the first place. Tough luck to him I'd say.

What is this for? (this is the stupid question).

He should have accounted for postage in his final selling price.

If he didn't tough luck, take it up with ebay if he doesnt send.

I'm going to carry it ahead of me around town so everybody sees how picture perfect my features are. It'll be a bit tricky when I need to use my hands, but I'm thinking of rigging up some sort of stylish harness.

Actually, it's to frame a print of Le Chat Noir to hang above my gf's desk.

It's the seller's fault for not checking postage, but for the sake of a few quid you could just be nice and cover the true costs. Are you feeling nice? Does it really matter?
