Stamp prices have risen today, now costing consumers as much as 15p more than they would have previously.
Those who have missed the price-hike deadline will pay 7p more for a 2nd class stamp and 15p more for a 1st class stamp. Charity group Citizens Advice say that a 1st class stamp now costs 64 percent more than it would have five years ago.
It comes amid ongoing inflation which has caused prices to rise on numerous goods and services, including broadband and groceries.
