The cost of a first-class stamp will rise by a further 5p to £1.70 on 7 April, Royal Mail has announced.
It will also raise the price of a second-class stamp by 2p to 87p on the same day. The company said the decision carefully considered “balancing affordability with the increasing cost of delivering mail”.
People have a right to be shocked at these latest hikes. Since 2022, Royal Mail has already increased the cost of a first-class stamp five times from 85p to a whopping current £1.65.
