Stamp Price Increase

[goodgoalie]

Cost of a first class stamp is to increase by over 10% to 95 pence (second class up 2p to 68p). Jeez, is there anything that is not going up?

[youngmafbog]

Who uses snail mail these days?

[goodgoalie]

I do

[youngmafbog]

Well most dont so the price will go up as the economies of scale drop.

[dannyk13]

I do too.

and I didnt know this

Tramadol/Paracetamol is – to our knowledge – the only fixed-dosed combination product where the dual mode of action of tramadol and the analgesic synergy between the two compounds have been proven in both preclinical studies (mouse model)30,31 and companion human studies.

Only to send the odd Birthday card and of course Christmas cards to those who don't live close enough to hand deliver.

Wrong thread, perhaps, Peter?

[Peter Pedant]

o god - can you move that to the Tramadol thread please
( not really that it makes much difference on AB)

£1 for a stamp - do you realise punters that is 10p at decimalisation ?
The violet 3d ( yes thruppence) was the msot printed stamp because it was 3d for so long and there were so many letter then

[Peter Pedant]

yeah I am wrong so often now a days

[jno]

you can still use your old 1st and 2nd class stamps or I think trade them in for new ones with QR codes

my car insurance went down this year

[gingejbee]

I wouldn't mind paying 95pence if next-day delivery was more-or-less guaranteed....but I've just received a first-class letter from 20 miles away posted Monday afternoon.
Currently, we are lucky if we get two deliveries a week...it has been down to one.

[gingejbee]

Oh...and I've resorted to collecting my mail from the delivery office as a way of actually getting it.

[maggiebee]

I do use snail mail for competitions and the odd card. Gift I sent at Christmas by first class took 10 days to travel 12 miles. Think the postie walked.

[davebro]

only use 2nd class - a few birthday & xmas card & the SE skeleton!

[Peter Pedant]

[Hymie]

My salary

[piper107]

i only send birthday cards to people as it shows I've remembered them on that day.. all Christmas greetings now are sent by text from my mobile and that goes for all the people i send them to, they do the same

[vulcan42]

I have never understood this notion of, if an item isn't selling, charge more.
