Postage increases 2012

Royal Mail online are not even showing 2nd class large letter stamps anymore and I am completely out. I am currently in a queue waiting to talk to business orders, but does anyone else know of anywhere I can bulk order 2nd class large letter stamps, I do not belong to Costco.

EDIT: Just to add Viking are also completely out of stock

Local superdrug had no hesitation selling me as many 1st and 2nd stamps as I wanted - bought v large amount no problem. Worth asking!

Thank you but my local store only had normal 2nd class, and I wanted large letter, several hundred of them.

I phoned up my business manager at Royal Mail (Never even knew I had one until I checked all the letters they keep sending me) and he reckons he could get them sent out to me, so fingers crossed.

I have had loads, most of which I have opened and filed in the bin. However, did my first online order today and there are now two Rest of World zones which I have no idea about.

The new world zones are going to hit my Australian buyers- they are a big market for me as well.

I have already decided to drop at least one of my lines as I can't see it selling with the new packet rate in the UK as items are fat but very light.

Unless you get a discount, buy them at a post office. Most are heavily stocked at this time of year as businesses by loads.

Can anyone please steer me in the direction of the new World Zones. I have spent ages looking on the Royal Mail website, but can't find anything

Thanks

Yeah I think most people are looking for discounts, come the 29th, I don't think many will care.

The map on the following shows the world zones http://c435158.r58.cf3.rackcdn.com/Royal%20Mail%20International%20Wall%20Chart.pdf

For anyone who post overseas frequently you may want to look at opening a Royal Mail account. I no longer post overseas but I had a quick look at the prices on my account compared to the prices at the post office and there are good savings available.

I am thinking of stocking up on stamps at costco. Does anyone know if theysell second class large stamps? If they do, does anyone know their prices? Iwould go and look myself, but i'm not a member. A friend has offered to picksome up for me when they go.
