Postage costs on the rise
Well, Royal Mail are putting up postage costs in the UK again… but there is some good news too! While envelopes larger than C5 (i.e. A4 etc.) will cost 42p for up to 100gm as of 21st August, smaller letters will actually go down in price.
Letters in C5 envelopes or smaller (i.e. A4 sheet folded once) weighing up to 100gm will actually go DOWN in price to 30p for first class. This compares to the current price of 32p for letters up to 60gm in weight.
What does this mean to us? Well it means that so long as we use small envelopes we will be saving money. The info packs I currently use weigh just a spot under 60gm and tip the scales if I add an extra brochure or CD - now I’ll be able to send a little extra without adding to the cost. Hooray for Royal Mail
