New Prices effective 29th March 2010
Letters | Large LettersWith effect from March 29, 2010, changes to postage and ancillary services rates will be introduced in a bid to keep up with challenging commercial conditions within the postal world.
Local and UK letter rates will go up 3p with the price of a small letter up to 100g for Isle of Man addresses rising to 35p and 36p for UK addresses. Even after this tariff has been introduced, Isle of Man Post Office’s postage rates will still be among the lowest in Europe. The average cost of sending a 100g item by First Class post or equivalent in Europe is now 82p*, more than twice the price of the new Isle of Man Post Office local rate.
A significant change offers some exciting enhancements to our International services which will allow customers to match delivery options to suit their needs. Most notably, the introduction of a new faster international delivery service to replace International Datapost. With delivery scheduled from two working days to the USA, Canada and Europe, Global Express is ideal for businesses and customers looking for a quick, reliable, tracked and guaranteed service for both urgent documents and packages sent internationally.
Prices will be sent live on the 29th March 2010. In the meantime, please see our summary of changes to letters and large letters below and our new price guides available from the bottom of the page.
