Postage Costs going up 1st April

Fireflower, 22 March, 2009 at 00:51 Posted on Planning 0 2

Hi everyone

The post below about postage has just reminded me that I meant to post about the postage costs going up. I get the MoneySavingExpert email (really useful by the way!) and it says:

Beat 1 April major stamp price rise & get further 5% off. 1st class go up to 39p (currently 36p) and 2nd to 30p (27p). Yet stamps bought now which say 1st or 2nd not the price are still valid. Better still, Superdrug's got a 5% off 1st class sale until 24 March.

Thought this may be useful for people sending out invitations/Save the Dates/Thank you cards. I'm planning on bulk buying a load in the next week - even though I'm not sending out invitations just yet.

    Great post! Pardon the pun! Pity we can't get discount on parcel post Smiley sad - yet another increased cost for small businesses!

    I did this before the last price rise. It was expensive, but I bought 100 x 1st class and 100 x 2nd class. Still using them!!

    We did this last year for our invitations that we sent out in August. Definitely worth it!
