No to all-Ireland postal tariff
British postal service Royal Mail is refusing to introduce an all-island postal tariff.
British postal service Royal Mail is refusing to introduce an all-island postal tariff.
Differences in cost between the two jurisdictions have been blamed, with the Republic’s provider charging almost as much for domestic services as Royal Mail does for its current ‘international’ service from Northern Ireland.
A Royal Mail representative said An Post had a uniform rate of 49p, comparable to Royal Mail’s 50p international rate meaning cross-border posters may not see any benefit whereas those posting in Northern Ireland for local delivery could see a potentially significant increase for no additional service benefit.
