23 July 2007 Royal Mail made rate changes to all Inland and Overseas Parcelforce services.

2 April 2007 Royal Mail announced a wide range of price increases covering all main letter services. This has been partly compensated by the extension of Channel Pricing discounts for franked mail, to cover Overseas Air Mail Letters, Printed Papers & Small Packets.

21 August 2006 Royal Mail made major changes to the Inland Letter Services with the introduction of PiP. Rates for First & Second Class Letters are now based both on the size and weight of the items. Click here for further information about Pricing in Proportion.

3 April 2006 Royal Mail put through a wide range of price increases to services, following eventual agreement with Postcomm.

26 September 2005 Royal Mail / Parcelforce Worldwide announced wide ranging price changes to both Inland and International Services.

7 April 2005 This date saw the introduction of Channel Pricing, and there has been an opportunity for Franking Machine users and Contract Customers to obtain a discount on Inland First Class services. This has been implemented in Update Chips for all of our Postal Scales, so the saving is taken automatically when the scale is linked to the Franking Machine.

23 September 2004 There were across the board price increases for Parcelforce services, both Inland and Overseas.

1 April 2004 Royal Mail introduced major changes to many services including some price reductions on heavier First Class Letters.

8 January 2004 Royal Mail/International Parcelforce made changes that affected all Inland and International Parcel Services. Also there were changes to compensation rates and Datapost services.

9 October 2003 Royal Mail announced that it was simplifying and improving it's international priority services. The old Swiftair service disappeared and 10 new countries were added to the new Airsure service ( which is electronically traceable). The International Signed For service was enhanced. Tariffs and compensations also changed.

Previously, in August, Royal Mail had announced the introduction of a new priority inland service called Special Delivery 9.00 am, in addition to the existing Special Delivery 12.00 noon service. These are very cost effective services for smaller items, with guaranteed delivery times and compensation for loss included in the price.

8 May 2003 Royal Mail had announced general price increases. These included the headline 1p rise on First and Second Class mail, together with many other less publicized changes.
