Price rises for bpost
From 1 January 2015, ten or more postage stamps, for a normalised mail item within Belgium will cost €0.72 rather than €0.70. The price for individual stamps remain at €0.77 in 2015. The price for standardised international mail rises from €1.07 to €1.10 (within Europe) and from €1.29 to €1.32 (rest of the world), provided five or more stamps are purchased. The prices for individual stamps for international mail rise from €1.17 to €1.20 and from €1.39 to €1.42.
The new prices apply to all mail sent at the standard rate. On 1 January bpost will also adjust its prices for the sending of large mail volumes covered by an agreement. On the whole, the average price rise for all domestic mail products for 2015 will be approximately 1.5%.
The price rise is an adjustment connected with major investments to further modernise the mail and parcel organisation and hence continually improve service quality. Average on-time mail delivery was over 96% in 2013, compared to 95% in 2012. The new prices put bpost in the middle bracket of European postal operators.
