Letter: Accidental discovery of postage price rise
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Our postal services are, on the whole, excellent and compare very favourably with other countries. But why, each time charges are raised, is it impossible to get the Royal Mail International leaflet telling one the new rates until long after they have taken effect? Since the new rates must have been agreed months before, it should be easy to provide these leaflets; but, to the embarrassment of local post offices and the inconvenience of customers, the information is never available at the time of change.
Yours faithfully,
