Stamp cost increase

VAT isn't chargeable on 'normal' postage, even franked mail.

Only when you access next day guaranteed by 9am Special DElivery is VAT levied, because it is considered to be a couriered service - which mdoes attract VAT.

Tim sells some excellent cards from local artists. I think I'd get divorced if I bought my lovely wife a 29p birthday card from Card Factory.

£2 for a card!....at Card Factory you can get individual cards for 29p each, or 5 for a £1. Cards are generally one of the biggest rip offs anyway

Don't forget VAT is payable on franking rates not such a big difference then.

Some entrepreneur with a franking machine ought to offer franking rates to the village....44p 1st class rather than 60p. Adding a penny or two to cover costs like ink & re-crediting maybe still makes a 10p saving!

How about this for an offer buy a greetings card individually priced at £2.00 or more from Cotswold Frames in Charlbury and you can purchase a single 1st or 2nd class stamp for that card at the old postage stamp price of 46p for a 1st class stamp or 36p for a 2nd class stamp !
Limited availability so don't delay make the most of this offer while you can.

There is still time to get you postage stamps at Cotswold Frames before they jump up in price
