    Wow, thank you for posting this. The introduction of Large Letters to international post is a good one for me and I anticipated it would happen after watching all the post office staff measuring airmail this year.

    Large Letter International is a lot cheaper if under 100g but appears to be about the same as now if over 100g.

    Nice to see the £2.80 2SP is staying up to 2Kg / exception size and they are moving that idea across to 2MP up to 2Kg and reducing the price to £4.89 from £5.20/1Kg & £8.00/2Kg.

    in short:

    The price of a 1st Class stamp will increase by 1p to 63p

    The price of a 2nd Class stamp will increase by 1p to 54p

    The price of a 1st Class Large Letter stamp will rise to 95p and a 2nd Class Large Letter to 74p.

    I think the only bad advice I've ever seen on this site is to buy stamps now to save money for Christmas. If you send 10,000 Christmas cards you could spend £5,300 now and not £5,400 in December. You can use the extra £100 to pay for insurance on all those stamps you've got;)

    Yeah, not really worth doing when the increase is only 1p, but some years they've had much steeper increases which would have made stockpiling stamps a wise move.
