Royal Mail has announced significant price hikes for stamps, with first-class stamps increasing to £1.70 and second-class to 87p from April 7. This marks a considerable financial burden on consumers, particularly as they also face ongoing service delays, with Royal Mail failing to meet delivery targets for over five years. Tom MacInnes from Citizens Advice highlighted that the cost of stamps has more than doubled since 2020, raising concerns about affordability and consumer trust as Royal Mail struggles to justify the rising prices against ongoing service issues.
Royal Mail’s decision to increase stamp prices has been described as yet another blow to consumers, who are already facing significant challenges with postal delays.
Tom MacInnes emphasized that this price hike comes as millions of people struggle with mail delays, underlining the disparity between cost and reliability of service.
