New postage charges

I have just ordered my stamps from Royal Mail online shop-it is free delivery if you spend over £35.

I probably wouldn't buy too many anyway, you can't trust anyone on ebay anymore so I usually send stuff recorded!

Does anyone have a link to the new info? I notice that the 1st class price for 1001-1250g has actually come down a bit (presumably after numerous complaints about the huge difference between that and the price band below it, which prompted some to split sets of items into 2 different parcels to save money!)
These price increases seem to be a big secret, with no mention that I can find on RM's website, and even in Google search results I'm having difficulty finding a full list of the new prices. I have a package weighing approx 1.5kg to post, and I don't know whether it will be the same price, dearer or even cheaper if I leave it till Monday.

i believe the old cost for 1001-1250g was £4.74 but is now £4.25. also each additional 250g is now 75p instead of 85p

If it weighs up to 1.5kg the price will stay the same at £4.95, however, if it goes over 1.5kg but below 2kg the price goes up from £5.31 to £5.68.

My lovely man in the Post office gave me the new price list, so if you ask at your local branch they should have some.
