These days there is a massive drop in the amount of post sent by mail due to e-mail and so on, which is one reason for the price hike.

I very rarely use snail mail now, Used the use it a lot but everything is done on line these days, I pay every bill on line by DD or SO, and buy nearly everything on line by CC, haven't posted a letter this year yet

Post Office puts up the cost of the only service they have a monopoly in to remain competitive.
Competitive against whom?

They have been given a boost thanks to ebay and other online shopping services, now they wish to price themselves out of the market, (again).

Bring back telegrams, stage coaches, or if it's very urgent, the pony express.

Ya then you could take a page out of Johnny's book Rindi

when you send something recorded delivery you get insurance included for teh item up to £40 i think it is and if your item is worth more you pay a little extra.This is why they ask you if teh item you are sending is ove rteh value of £40 so you can increase the insurance to cover loss or dammage done by royal mail

Heard on the radio at lunch time that if you go and buy stamps with just 1st or 2nd Class on them and no price that they will be able to be used when they go up in price.
Don't all STAMPede

accyman · 28-03-2012, 15:54

im gonna grab some pigeons and feed them steroids so they can deliver future goods i sell on ebay

accyman · 28-03-2012, 15:56

i would like to think it would prevent all the junk mail through our letterboxes but these prices will only effect joe public because these large companies pay a 1 time fee and can send as much as they want as they get a massive discount from royal mail

should they be allowed to call themselves royal mail anymore the only thing royal about them seems to be that they use a picture of teh queen on stamps?

Thats always been the case, since they stopped putting the price on these stamps

Make savings back, on food costs.

Lick your own stamps.
