Royal Mail increase doordrop tariff

• Price rise of 3.5% on standard rate card
• New User/Business incentive will rise from £36 to £39 (8.33%), 20g item
• Late Sales contracts will increase by £2.50/000 to £34.50/000 (7.8%)), 20g item
• The new pricing will affect all distributions commencing from 6th April 09
• You will be able to secure the old pricing for any future bookings (max March 2011) confirmed by 5pm Monday 23rd February 2009 (Late Sales 2nd March for w.c. 30th March 09)
• There will be changes to the allocation of sectors within bandings however no proposed changes in discounts between bands.  Once issued in Jan we will need to ensure Graham can update systems.

New use/business incentive has been increased at this level to lessen the gap from Rate Card.  Royal Mail has indicated that this step had been taken on the back of client feedback. Late Sales has also risen significantly to reflect the way Royal Mail capacity is being booked much closer to the distribution start date. 

Formal rate card will be issued this month - Jan 09.  This will probably lead to a surge of bookings from early Jan until the 23rd Feb deadline to secure old pricing rates.
