Cost Of Postage Stamps.

[Georgiesmum]

The cost of postage stamps have, for the last few years,risen every April.Considering the dramatic rise in postage stamps in the UK last year, are you expecting another price hike this April?

[Georgiesmum]

I hate to say it, but i fear the cost of postage in the uk will continue to go up again this April.

Are you aware there are websites where you can buy stamps cheaper than in post office - google it. Also places like superdrug are often selling them below the post office price.

They probably will but when you think you can stick something in a box in Cornwall and it pop through someone's door in Aberdeen the next day for 60p I think it's cheap.

I have cut down the amount of crossword & other comps I used to send off because of the price of the 2nd class stamps, now I only post if its a cash prize.

[Georgiesmum]

Yes, thats truePrudie.
Grasscarp I didnt know you could buy cheaper stamps online? Ive only ever bought mine from the post office.

Yes, I think they will go up again - the Royal Mail must be losing business with all the other carriers out there now jumping on the bandwagon. Mind you, I'd rather trust my parcel to RM than certain of the other carriers.
