英国金融专家马丁·刘易斯(Martin Lewis)敦促在4月7日前购买头等邮票, British financial expert Martin Lewis urges buying first-class stamps before April 7th, when prices rise from £1.65 to £1.70. 第二等邮票也将增加2张至87张。 Second-class stamps will also increase by 2p to 87p. 《皇家邮报》指出,由于信封量从每年200亿大跌至67亿大跌,运营成本不断上升,这是价格上涨的正当理由。 Royal Mail cites rising operational costs due to a significant drop in letter volume from 20 billion to 6.7 billion annually, justifying the price hikes.
