Prices are rising in line with inflation
The Isle of Man Post Office has announced price hikes which will see a number of services jump by 5.75%.
From 8 January 2024, a standard stamp will rise from 80p to 85p.
Postal rates for letters, large letters, guaranteed next-day services and ancillary services will be subject to the increase.
The service is blaming pressures on its operating costs.
The Chairman Stu Peters MHK says: "Price increases are never an easy decision, but like many self-funded businesses, we are seeing ongoing pressures on operating costs which are unavoidable.
"Mindful that the cost of everything is on the rise for our customers, where practical the Isle of Man Post Office Board have sought to limit postal tariff changes whilst still operating responsibly.
"The Board are confident that with our high quality service, our prices remain competitive and value for money."
