Anyone know what the new postage rates will be from tomorrow?

The Royal Mail are putting their prices up (bottom rate to 28p and 20p for First and Second class), but what about anything else over 60g? What about Special delivery charges and Recorded?

Does anyone know where I can find this information? (Please don't state the Royal Mail website, unless you have found a direct link which would be very useful. And please don't tell me to go to the Post Office to find out - they don't know the prices either, and they have no forms indicating the prices).

HELP!

Ahhh, already phoned and getting prices posted to me too...

But is the post offices are not sure of the prices, it seems a little worrying?

Yeah the PO's are pretty much useless, but hopefully when the prices come through theyll be correct. I think they put me through to Royal mail, as opposed to the PO, and they seemed confident that they got it right.

You wouldnt think they would act so suprised by request for a price would you? No wonder they were losing $1mil a day. :)
