PUBLIC REMINDED OF NEW POSTAL CHARGES ******
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE REMINDED THAT THE NEW CHARGES FOR CERTAIN POSTAL SERVICES WILL BE EFFECTIVE FROM TOMORROW (JANUARY 1).
THE MORE IMPORTANT CHANGES ARE INCREASES IN THE AEROGRAMME RATE FROM 50 TO 60 CENTS, IN THE FIRST-CLASS AIRMAIL RATE TO ZONE 1 DESTINATIONS (MAINLY SOUTH EAST ASIA) FROM 50 TO 80 CENTS AND INCREASES IN THE SECOND-CLASS AIRMAIL RATES TO ALL DESTINATIONS EXCEPT NORTH AMERICA.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE POST OFFICE ADVISED THE PUBLIC THAT IT WAS NECESSARY TO PREPAY THE CORRECT POSTAGE.
THIS WOULD AVOID DELAYS BY POSSIBLE DIVERSION OF THE AIRMAIL ITEM TO SURFACE MAIL OR THE IMPOSITION OF SURCHARGES ON THE ADDRESSEES.
