Uk Postage Rates To Go Up

[Georgiesmum]

Can someone tell me please when our postage rates go up again in the UK? I believe it is this month. How much will second class stamps go up to?I always use a lot of stamps.

The price of standard first and second-class stamps will increase by 3p each at the end of March, Royal Mail has announced. From Monday 25 March, the price of a first-class stamp for a standard letter will rise to 70p, and the price of a second-class stamp for a standard letter will increase to 61p.

buy lots of second-class stamps now, in that case. As long as they say 2nd rather than having a price on them, they'll still be valid when prices rise. (I've still got some from 10 years ago and still use them.) The same applies to 1st class.

You can even get them cheap

The stamps that jno mentions are called NVI (non value indicator) stamps.
