SINGAPORE — From October, local and international postage rates will see an increase, with local rates increasing between S$0.04 and S$0.20, and international rates rising between S$0.05 to S$0.25, said SingPost today (Sept 2).
For instance, domestic postage rates for a weight of up to 20g will increase from $0.26 to $0.30, while items of up to 40g will increase from $0.32 to $0.37.
The last time postage rates were adjusted was at least eight years ago in 2006. SingPost said since then, costs have risen by nearly 50 per cent.
To offset the increase, SingPost will be giving a free stamp booklet containing six 1st local stamps to every household, who will receive it a week before Oct 1. SME franked mail customers will also get a 5 per cent rebate for a year.
SingPost said it will continue to roll out service enhancements, including installing new automated sorting machines, buying more three wheelers and hiring 200 more postmen under its $100million service improvement plan.
