  1. That will hit hard many letter writers who may be on a pension coming in on Feb 27

  2. That’s Christmas cards off the Christmas card list this year…

  3. A few more increases like this and they will price themselves out of business! Businesses who don’t already offer email / edocs price discounts will have no choice but to introduce them.

  4. I just bought two books of stamps last month and they do this 🙁

  5. I’d love to see the cost of delivering letters. An post is busier than it ever has been, making more money than they ever have due to parcel deliveries. Surely they could afford the cost of delivery.

  6. Christ on a bike! The last time I bought a stamp, they were 32c!

  7. FFS. How often does An Post raise their stamp prices?! It’s absurd. Post has become an unaffordable luxury.

  8. I understand that An Post wants to cover costs and make money, but the sending of letters and cards is a necessary service that does not need to be profitable, it should be subsidized by the Government and the price of stamps should be capped. We can’t fall into the capitalist trap of thinking that State services need to be profitable to have value, instead of their value coming from being as available and as high quality as possible.

  9. I stopped sending Christmas cards as its too expensive

  10. My sister in law has a lot of pen pals so it’s definitely going to affect her as she’s disabled and on a fixed income.

  11. An post is in a death spiral.

    People post less > raise stamp prices > people post less > raise stamp prices
