Sending letters - Size-based Pricing
On 8 May 2010, Jersey Post changed the way that postal prices are calculated. From this date all items are now priced on their size as well as their weight and will fall into one of three categories. More information on these categories can be found in the table below.
In addition, there is now greater delivery choice for any item being posted to a Jersey address. The Standard service starts from 36p and has a three-day delivery target, whilst Priority gives next-day delivery from 39p.
