It simply isn't an option for most people using the postal service. The price rises over the last 5 years are massive.Buy a second class stamp and send it a day earlier than you planned.
Most people buy stamps marked 1st class or 2nd class - we have until January 2023 to use these up. It is the only way we can temporarily beat the price increases.if you have a stack of old style stamps, you can send them to royal mail (free!) and they will replace with new style ones. there is a form to fill in on the royal mail website.

Oh no. Really. You shouldn't have swapped them. They are still 1st class stamps until January 2023. So, in other words you can put them on a letter for the old rate,those are the ones you can swap - just done it myself
It might well be, but with the same logistics involved the Royal Mail could do it for half that before the Tories sold it off.For all the logistics involved, I actually think 95p is OK.
You should send that into vizBuy a second class stamp and send it a day earlier than you planned.
What do the post office do with second class post, does anyone know?You should send that into viz
Round it all up to 1st class then and maybe while we are at it round up the first class to £1 - no point in fiddling on with a 5p piece. far too small anyway. Who uses them.. And next year with all the inflation and rising cost of energy etc then surely a 20p rise is on order. And by 2024 we should be looking towards £1.50 because what is the point of charging 20p, too much stress with the change issues, costs more than it is worth labour wise... 2025 the single class stamp can be £2 a landmark price for a landmark year.What do the post office do with second class post, does anyone know?
is it left in a corner for a day before being sorted? That sounds Labour intensive and a bit pointless. Surely it would be more efficient to deliver everything together.

Good question. I was being facetious. Though I do worry about the acceptance of massive price risesI’m just wondering if second class post is treated differently from first class…are we all missing a trick?
I wasn’t advocating putting up second class prices, just wondering if there is a difference in the service. I was wondering if anyone on here had worked in a post office and knew the protocol.
Where do you think it came from?You should send that into viz

It's a myth that you can't eat healthily cheaply. At least according to my wife who is an expert shopper.Some things amaze me. One is stamps and postage. It may be 95p but you can get your letter anywhere in the country in a reasonably short time for that.
Another thing is fruit and veg. It comes from alll over the world but you can get a big bag full for what seems to me to be a relatively small price to pay. If only I liked more veg.
