This one increase no complaint from me..... -_-

 

Just look at the postmen/women daily delivering letters into your letter boxes or house to house for those staying in landed properties, whether in sun shine or pouring rain. They still deliver your mails. [thumbsup]

 

Last increased was 8 years ago and our transportations companies don't know increase how many times already....... [grin]

 

Already pity those postman / woman riding bicycle around my area delivering letter.. This increase I don't really mind, coz it's not a lot, and one month I maximum send 5 letters only.. 5X4 cents = 20 cents.. Go toilet one time = gone..

 

Wonderful news. The same operator called me back to apologise for an error she made earlier.

 

She clarified that the current 26c stamps can be used in place of the new 30c stamps without needing any top up stamp.

 

So they'll let the "current" series die out without penalising those of us who stocked up.

 

From 1st Oct, you can only buy the 30c stamps, of course.

 

A big thumbs up to SingPOST for at least being rational about this. [thumbsup]

 

Thanks for the clarification! Follow @sp4wn and kajiao you..

Well said... But they can't. They are no monopoly for this.

 

No monopoly? Who else competing with them for domestic postal service?

 

In addition to the fact that when they privatize, all post office buildings were transferred to their books. Wonder how many they have sold to reap the profit already

 

best to buy their shares man

U can always send by email. If not drive down and drop in the mailbox urself.

 

Furthermore, registered service have a price too and they cannot make the price too close if not everyone will use registered mail.

 

They cannot up the price for registered mail too since the next higher price option isn't exactly expensive.

I think is more of product placement.. They are been force down by upper grade product prices.

 

SMRT next option is taxi, then own car... Price different is high.

Leave it to them, they know how to siam the ERP .... [laugh]

 

Joke aside, it's delivery charges and if enter CBD/ERP pay only the m./cycle rate for m/cycle 50C. Parking ? they park at the pavement ... [lipsrsealed]

 

Bigger parcel pay more. Letters only, $6/- (like sending DO or Invoices).
