Thought this might help small biz/charities some money.

"People should start stock-piling stamps now ahead of an expected steep price rise in April, the official consumer watchdog has said. "

    Even with those prices rises you couldn't send a small item cheaper any other way.

    I think businesses should be looking to move as much as they can towards email, I pretty much send every quote, job sheet and invoice via email. It saves time and money.

    Appreciate some things will still need to go via snail mail and those extra costs will need to be covered.
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    I'm not sure why we should be buying them now rather than in April? (apart from using the special offers).

    We always stock up at the end of March: the price rises are announced in enough time to enable us to do this.
