Royal Mail has announced an increase in the price of stamps, set to take effect from next month, April 2024. The price of a first-class stamp will rise to £1.35, marking the third increase within a year, with both first and second-class stamps costing 10p more. Similarly, second-class stamps will see a 10p increase, reaching 85p. This adjustment comes as a measure to mitigate nearly £750 million in losses over the past 18 months, attributed to a dramatic fall in letter volumes. Consumer advocate Martin Lewis has advised the public to purchase stamps before the price hike. Additionally, Royal Mail has introduced new stamp rules, although specific details were not disclosed.

A month to buy 1st and 2nd class stamps at current price before they rise to £1.35 to possibly not get there the next day and 85p to definitely not get there the next day https://t.co/snLebGe3rf in ten years £2billion paid to shareholders and £27m to two bosses. Something wrong
Wouldn’t mind so much if Royal Mail was actually fit for purpose. Getting 1 mail delivery per fortnight regardless of stamp class is an absolute scam https://t.co/UmPDv1PgBc
