"From April 7, the cost of a first-class stamp will jump by 10p to 1.80, while second-class stamps will rise by 4p to 91p. This latest hike means first-class stamp prices have now more than doubled, increasing by 137 per cent over the past six years through eight separate rises."
"More than half-a-decade has gone by since the company met its delivery targets and people still face a gamble, with many uncertain if their important documents or letters like medical appointments will arrive on time. Things only risk getting worse when cuts to delivery days and reduced performance targets come into full effect."
Royal Mail announced another stamp price increase effective April 7, raising first-class stamps to 1.80 and second-class stamps to 91p. First-class stamp prices have more than doubled over six years through eight separate increases, while second-class stamps have risen six times. This price hike occurs amid Royal Mail's continued failure to meet delivery targets for multiple quarters and growing public concerns about service reliability. Citizens Advice warns that over half a decade has passed since the company met its targets, leaving customers uncertain whether important documents and medical appointments will arrive on time. The situation is expected to worsen as delivery day cuts and reduced performance targets take effect.
