Jersey Post deliveries up on last year

Jersey postal deliveries are slightly up on last year, despite an increase in the price of stamps and a continued decline in volumes of letters posted. And outward mail volumes are around 10% higher than the same period last year. The reason, say Jersey Post, is entirely due to increased volumes of packages being posted from the Island as a result of a growing move to ‘online’ shopping, and companies basing their fulfilment operations in the Island.
