Postal prices to go up next month

Post Office price hikes have been announced for next month. 

The cost of sending a letter within the Isle of Man or to the UK is set to rise by five pence from 25th October.

The price of a standard local and UK letter will increase from 62p to 67p.

Meanwhile, increases for some postal product tariffs are up around 8%.

The Post Office said the increased are needed because of costs owing to Brexit, customs changes, increased fuel and aircraft costs, as well as rising costs for onward delivery into the UK and internationally.

The organisation reiterates that Manx prices are still lower than the UK’s 85p first class letter price.
