There is set to be a big jump in the amount people have to pay
Finance guru Martin Lewis has advised people to 'stock up' on a common household item, as it is due to shoot up in price. According to Martin's Money Saving Expert website, the item will increase in price from October 2.
Importantly, second-class stamps for standard letters will stay the same at 75 . For large letters, it'll go from £1.15 to £1.55, an increase of 35 per cent. The cost of Royal Mail's “Signed For” and “Special Delivery Guaranteed” services will also increase from the same date, as will its Parcelforce “Worldwide Next Day” and “Two Day UK” services.
Royal Mail blames the latest hikes on increasing cost pressures and the universal service obligation, which currently requires it to deliver letters to all UK addresses six days a week. The postal service said: "The cost of delivering an ever-decreasing number of letters to an ever-growing number of households six days a week is unsustainable.
