Price rise for post to international destinations
Royal Mail has advised customers that new prices for international postcards, letters, small packets and printed papers to destinations outside Europe will come into effect on July 4.
The overall increase in prices is 4.8 per cent, which is within the Retail Price Index limits allowable under the terms of the operating licence issued to Consignia, Royal Mail's holding company, by Postcomm.
The increases to prices for these services are the first for destinations outside Europe since April 2000.
Trevor Sayer, Royal Mail's International General Manager, said: "We work very hard to minimise the impact that increases in our cost base have on our prices. For example, where local conditions allow we will use our own network or private postal companies for delivery overseas. From time to time however, prices increases are unavoidable."
Prices for services to Europe remain unchanged, as do fees for the International Recorded, International Registered and Swiftair Services. Prices for Royal Mail's international contract services for business to all destinations also remain unchanged. (MB)

Royal Mail sizes up ditching weight price policy
Royal Mail has announced new pricing plans, which would allow it to price mail by size rather than weight. The state-owned operator claimed that the changes were needed, so that it could continue to provide a ‘one-price-goes-anywhere’ postal service and has called on UK postal regulator Postcomm to give the go-ahead for the new policy plan.
