Royal Mail raising price of first-class stamp by 9p to 85p, and second class by 1p to 66p. https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... amp-to-85p

If you use a lot of first class stamps buy them now .

[pakefield]

nobody's mail will be first class any more

As I write, both the first and second class stamps price increases are both inflation beating and saving account beating returns.

A privatised Postal service..... no surprise.

Less mail so increase the prices. Increased prices puts more people off sending mail.

Yet somehow McVities consider it sensible and viable to mail people 2 biscuits (presumably they'll either go large letter business rate or more likely start off with a cheaper third party like Whistl but still delivered by Royal Mail).

[pabenny]

There are evidently entirely different rates for senders of large volumes. I can't post books for the price of the cheaper items from World of Books and the like.
