    Stamp price rise plans are affordable, says Royal Mail

    Plans to increase the prices of stamps will not lead to an "affordability issue", the Royal Mail chief executive has told MPs. Moya Greene told the Commons' Business Committee that the cost of stamps would have to rise. Regulator Ofcom is consulting on plans to remove price caps on first class stamps and raise the price limit on second class to as much as 55 pence. But MPs heard that some people would be safe from price rises this Christmas. The plans, which have yet to be finalised, would see people on Pension Credit, or Employment and Support Allowance being eligible to buy stamps for the festive period in 2012 at Christmas 2011 prices. A Royal Mail spokesman said that stamps would be available through the post office network and that every UK household would be informed of the offer once it was confirmed....Read more here---: BBC News - Stamp price rise plans are affordable, says Royal Mail

      Stamp prices: First-class stamps to cost 60p.

      A first-class stamp will rise in price from 46p to 60p from 30 April after the regulator lifted some price controls on Royal Mail. A second-class stamp will go up from 36p to 50p - some 5p below the top price allowed by Ofcom. The regulator has allowed Royal Mail to set the price of first-class and business mail. It claimed the future of the universal service was at "severe risk" without relaxing controls. The 30% price rise in first-class stamps, and 39% rise for second-class, mark record annual increases. Over the next seven years, the price of second-class stamps will be capped at 55p but this limit could rise with inflation each year. Royal Mail said that the cost of posting Christmas cards in 2012 will be the same as last year for consumers on Pension Credit and Employment and Support Allowance or Incapacity Benefit.....Blog: POSTING HERE Read more HERE

          May as well use Recorded Delivery for all post now as it will only be an extra 55p and you know it got there as it will be signed for and would probably get ere QUICKER than a first class one.
          I used to be afraid of the post... Now I look forward to it - so I can stick it to the DCA's
