New postage charges

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but apparently Royal Mail charges are going up on Monday. Letter rate goes up from 32p to 34p and other charges are going up as well.
As Martin mentioned on Jeremy Vine today, if you post a lot of first class items, it would be worth stocking up on stamps before Monday.

That was as a result of the changes in the system last August. However, actual prices in all categories go up again Monday as well.

They very kindly reminded me in the Post Office yesterday - stocked up with 200 first class large letter, which should keep me going for a couple of weeks.

Apparently they stopped online sales a while ago, talk on the Amazon boards is that they realised people were stocking up after getting several thousand pound orders! Might be anecdotal though, so online is still worth checking.
