People in Guernsey will soon have to pay more to post letters and parcels.
Guernsey Post is expecting an increase in prices due to changes to its contract with Royal Mail.
Guernsey Post's outgoing chairman also says the Covid-19 pandemic has presented "unprecedented" obstacles to the business, and that he expects the coming year to be "challenging and difficult to forecast".
Simon Milstead, outgoing Chairman of Guernsey PostWith containment measures likely to continue to impact economic and customer activity in the short term and with businesses having now adjusted to the impact of lockdown restrictions by relying on alternative forms of communication, the accelerated decline of traditional mail volumes is not expected to be reversed even when we finally see a return to post pandemic normality.
The company adds that more people were posting parcels in 2020.
However, there was a drop in the number of islanders sending letters, partly due to more of us communicating over the web.
