Hi all

Just seen in the news that stamp prices are going to rise by 14p ? on 30th April. That'll be 60p for 1st class and 50p for 2nd class. And that's just normal letter size, large letters will be 90p 1st class and 69p 2nd class! I'm due to send my invites out around April so have rushed to the post office and got them today. If I'd waited til after the price rise it would cost £15 more!!! If you're due to send your invites soon might be worth getting your stamps asap!!

HTH

As long as they've either got 1st or 2nd on and not the price you can use them whenever! My Dad's off to costco this week so have asked him to buy me 60!!

I've stocked up on mine, plus with an extra 5% off! Superdrug and WHSmith had an offer, not sure if it's still on??

I expect that parcels will also go up too so I guess I am also going to have to put up my postage prices too. I have absorbed the rise for the last few years but in many cases it no longer covers the cost so sadly I will have to do something in May.

3d jewellery, parcels are going up by a lot. They are lumping the weights together and something that cost me £1.58 to post will soon cost £2.70, a huge difference.

I'm waiting for a callback from another company and the rates are a lot lower especially for next day delivery. Fingers crossed that works out.

I am currently buying as many 1st class stamps as I can. I send out a lot of fabric samples each week of which i don't charge for so am stocking up for the next couple of years!
