Royal Mail postage to increase yet AGAIN.

[Guest]

"The price of stamps will rise again on 2 April - the fourth increase in two years for the cost of sending a letter first class.

Royal Mail said the price of a first-class stamp would rise by 10p to £1.35 and second-class stamps would increase by 10p to 85p"

Royal Mail (RM) claims that due to falling demand in letters and increased package demand that they are having to change their model. 

It's obvious to most that to attract customers you meed to provide a cost effective reliable service yet RM appears to be acting contrary to what you would expect with this price increase

This is going to make people more poorer and disconnected 😞

Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery.

Why would they only send them recorded delivery?

I used the signed for option yesterday.

It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g 

Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
