The definitive site for UK postal information is the Post Office one.
However, in my view that site is a bit of a shambles. It is hard to find what you want as you wander through the
maze of menus. Furthermore, when you have found what you want and bookmarked it, they go and change the whole
layout of the site.
If you just want to know what the current postal rates
are, this page at www.tilehurst.net is much better. This site, really intended for the inhabitants of and visitors
to Tilehurst, has some other quite useful information too.
One problem often encountered is, "Now I know the cost, what combination of stamps do I need?
This is a classic 11+ question, but I couldn't find a calculator on the web so I wrote a noddy Excel
spreadsheet to do the job. You can download it from here, the Excel Stamp Calculator Spreadsheet
(Excel 7 / W98 or later) which calculates what combination of first and second class stamps
are needed for a target price. |
