I need to find out new rates for large letters, small packets,parcels,etc, all weights national and international in advance of April 2022
You'd think that would be easy but all searches only result with standard 1st and 2nd class which I rarely use.
Could anyone please guide me to a site which will give me all the information that I need

I need standard general public rates and NOT business or franking rates

Thanks

I see for small parcels, they have now split Europe into 3 zones, but you can't replicate that exactly in the ebay P&P section of the listing ...

Don’t forget that online prices are different for parcels and cheaper than over the counter at the PO. I printed off the online prices and also the PO counters price as a ready reckoner .

Just bumping to remind people that the new rates start on Monday.

It looks like large letters should be pushed to go where possible before then, but any small parcels , if buying online, would save 5p if you wait until Monday.

A quick question ... do stamps stick OK to the grey 'poly mailers'

Are folk here buying stamps now before the increase, or is that a bit too much faff ?

if so, what are the best stamps to buy for 'small parcel' postage .. soon to be £3.35

1 * 1L + 2 * 1, £1.45 + 95p + 95p = £3.35

Just been thinking ..buy 3 first class (85p x 3) now ..but will be worth £2.85 soon, then just add 50p to reach the £3.35

Cost will be 85p x 3 plus 50p = £3.05  .. 30p saving per parcel

From 4th April RM online 2kg parcel will be £2.85 = 50p saving per parcel.

I don’t use stamps for parcels as I prefer to buy online for the saving over the PO counter cost, and also when using a label you get proof of delivery. I only use stamps on my large letter items. 

As above the saving with using online postage for a parcel over the cost of using stamps is quite considerable.I haven’t got the rates in front of me but from memory a medium parcel will be £1 cheaper if you *don’t * use stamps.
