UK to USA Postage Rising by 50%

I've learned from Brian (who is not a blogger) that there is a huge rise in UK overseas postal prices to the USA coming at the end of this month - basically, prices are up by about 50% for all parcels. If you're planning to buy anything from a UK seller get it before the end of the month! Letters and large letters aren't affected.

At the moment it doesn't look like other prices are rising, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is another all-round rise at the end of the year.
