Royal Mail has recently announced that there will be NO increase to their Inland Tariffs for franking machine users this year. This is excellent news because although STAMP prices are increasing as of 6 April, 2010, your first and second class postage tariffs will NOT change. This means that there is now an unprecedented 7p discount per letter off second class meter post and even 5p off First Class when franking rather than using stamps – up to a 22% saving!
However, there will be changes to Royal Mail’s International and Added Value Services, including Recorded Signed For and Special Delivery which may effect you and therefore, if you do use other Royal Mail Services for your post, you will need to order the updated chip to ensure your meter or scale is functioning with the latest rates.
If you would like more details about the specific rate changes, please visit Royal Mail.

All of our customers who need to order the chip have been sent an order form so that they can purchase the updated rate chip.

Please be aware that in the past, Royal Mail have allowed an amnesty period of two weeks following a rate change where customers would not be surcharged during that time. This is no longer the case, however, and Royal Mail have confirmed that there will be no 2 week period and all customers will be required to pay the correct postage from 6 April or face surcharges.
