at Friday, April 15, 2011 · 0 Comments

Royal Mail has announced its annual stamp price rises which will take effect from 4 April 2011.

Stamp prices in the UK have increased by a record amount (from 4 April) – with a First Class stamp rising by 5p to 46p. Second Class stamps will rise 4p to 36p, whilst the cost of a large letter stamp will rise by 9p to 75p for First Class items and 7p to 58p for Second Class mail.

A stamp for a first class large letter now costs 75p but sending it as franked mail only costs 55p.

There is no better time to switch to Franking, see how much you can save at The Mailing Room, they have a Savings Calculator.
