Anger at Royal Mail as stamp prices rise
Daily Express
|March 07, 2026
STAMP prices will rise again next month despite repeated failures by Royal Mail to meet its delivery targets and amid growing concern over the performance of the service.
Royal Mail confirmed the price of a second-class stamp would go up by 4p to 91p and first-class stamps would increase by 10p to £1.80 from April 7.
It means the cost of a first-class stamp has more than doubled — up 137% — in the past six years after eight rises, while the cost of second-class mail has been hiked six times.
