Yep got that on the newsletter from Martin. As said no more Christmas cards and this will impact card shops who may end up closing down. Maybe we will start seeing less junk mail and the postman only coming around once a week instead of every day.Be warned , this April 1st Class letters will cost £1.10 and 2nd 75p.
That‘s the end of my Christmas Cards this year😢😢
We buy all our Christmas cards direct from individual charities and other cars often come from Sainsburys. But as you say RM are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain an everyday delivery service at a single cost. Such is change I guess, but we don’t plan on giving up on cards yet. They are nice to see along with the tree and other decorations.Yep got that on the newsletter from Martin. As said no more Christmas cards and this will impact card shops who may end up closing down.

With the exception of two or three cards at Christmas I cannot remember when last I posted a normal letter. Most of our cards we hand deliver as most of our friends and relatives live close by. I can see the Royal Mail closing its doors within a few years.
We have just stock up on 1st/2nd stampsBuy your stamps now!
Once purchased they remain valid for whatever service (1st or 2nd) it says on them!

After their CEOs disgraceful two performances in front of the Commons Select Committee, you are spot on Ray. Abandonment of the letters and focus on parcels seems the target of the day😢😢The Post Office is pricing themselves out of the market. They do not want the service and you do wonder if it is a route to getting the service reduced.
The Royal Mail has to compete in an unfair market - they're obliged to provide the universal service at a single price to all locations within the UK while all their competitors can charge a surcharge for more distant destinations, eg Highlands and Islands.The Post Office is pricing themselves out of the market.

Is your reference to Post Office or Royal Mail which I believe are two seperate entities and not related?The Post Office is pricing themselves out of the market. They do not want the service and you do wonder if it is a route to getting the service reduced.
