2nd Class Stamp Prices
Stannp’s standard service is officially second class; from March 2020 the price of a 2nd class Stamp from Royal Mail will rise to 65 pence each, the maximum allowable under the Ofcom price cap.
Stannp’s prices for 2020 are from just 34p for postcards or from 40p for enveloped letters, printed and posted.
Stannp’s Down Stream Access (DSA) into the Royal Mail network means that while our second class service officially takes 2-3 working days to arrive, our customers tell us that their campaigns frequently arrive earlier, offering very similar service levels to a 1st class stamp.
1st Class Stamp Prices
Stannp also offers a first class post service; from March 2020 the price of a 1st class Stamp from Royal Mail will rise to 76 pence each.
Stannp’s 1st class pricing for 2020 is also given on our pricing page. First class post adds an additional 31p per item, meaning we offer 1st class service from just 65p for postcards or from 71p for enveloped letters, printed and posted.

The postal regulator Ofcom said: “Royal Mail has the flexibility to set its own prices in order to respond to a rapidly-changing market and safeguard the universal postal service. Ofcom imposed a cap on the price of a Second Class stamp to protect vulnerable consumers, and these price increases are within this safeguard.“
