I went to my local newsagents today to buy a few books of second class and they were charging the increased price already. I thought the prices were not going up until the end of the month? I left without any stamps. Think I'll try the PO instead.

Yeah, they don't go up until the end of the month. I think some are just trying it on.

Well if I wanted to order some more the time is ticking, I'd rather get the current orders out of the way before I snow them under with more orders. Also there has been talk of caps etc.

If they introduce caps and you need more I'd just go around several shops.

The post offices around my area are getting low on stocks now, I have already got some from them last week tho.

Maybe it worth calling and finding out for sure, I was thinking of doing.

2nd class normal stamps are the best as they are only 36p that will be worth 50p soon, so you are getting a near 39% rise on your money.

2nd class large letter stamps currently cost 58p and going to 69p a rise of 19% I think on your money.

So if you bought your 2nd class large stamps now at 58p each it will be cosing you £1.74 and after april 30th you they could be used to send a packet at £2.07

If you used 2nd class normal stamps to send that £2.07 it would cost you £0.36 * 4 + 7p , costing you £1.51 compared to the large of £1.74 so better value.

I just used a random number and did the maths quick but think its right and proves the point.

thanks alot. will be stocking up on 2nd class normal:T:)

I seem to remember that your very first order with Royal Mail takes slightly longer to be delivered. Subsequent orders are much quicker. I was told this over the phone by Royal Mail a long time ago, not sure why it works that way.

I had my Ocado delivery tonight, it was all there and went very smoothly. Cannot find the original thread anywhere

i cant find the thread either, wanted to double check as got no quidco or £15 off ocado, but dont want to call them in case they pull me in on the terms and conditions. if i knew that, i would have gone to the post office!:mad:
