Postcomm Intends to Issue a Consultation Document on Royal Mail’s Proposal to Implement Size Based Pricing
In August 2003, Postcomm issued a statement explaining the process it intended to follow to assess the application it had received from Royal Mail to introduce Size Based Pricing (SBP) from April 2005. Last December, Postcomm issued a further statement explaining that it was analysing Royal Mail’s proposal, and in particular, was discussing a number of outstanding issues with Royal Mail. Following initial analysis of Royal Mail’s application, Postcomm intends to issue a consultation document in April to seek views on the proposal. Interested parties will have 3 months to respond. This consultation will focus particularly on the principle of SBP, Postcomm’s approach to assessing Royal Mail’s proposal, and the impact on customers, including particularly practical implementation issues, such as the appropriate notice period for customers before any introduction of SBP. Postcomm is seeking as wide a participation of interested parties as possible.
