However, Royal Mail Prices dramaticallychanged on 1 July 2020, as a result of exceptional cost increases outside of theircontrol, so we are reluctantly having to pass on pricing increases for parcelsbeing sent overseas (primarily USA, New Zealand, Australia and the Rest of theWorld). These costs are a direct result of: An increase of more than 100% in the fees the US Postal Service (USPS) charges for the delivery of international mail. Securing air freight at inflated market costs due to a 95% reduction in air passenger flights globally. This has not affected domestic or postage within the EU. “Royal Mail, always aim to deliver the bestvalue international services. We fully recognise that these changes aresignificant. This was a decision we reluctantly took but is necessary in viewof the increased costs borne by Royal Mail.” If the Royal Mail reduce their charges inthe future (in particular what they term “Temporary Air Carrier SupplementPricing”) unwinsbooks will reduce the international costs accordingly. Unwinsbooks alwaysobtain a proof of postage receipt from the Royal Mail. Packages over Royal Mail size rules may besent by courier (customer will be informed).
