Postage rates for a “limited number” of postal services have been increased with effect from the 1st of July, the Malta Communications Authority announced today.
The Authority said that, this increase is “in order to reflect the increased local operational costs and the increased international conveyance costs and the increased last mile cross-border delivery costs.”
The select tariff revisions approved are the following:
Postcards
Foreign outbound flat rate of €0.86 per postcard destined to ALL Countries around the world.
Foreign Outbound Mail
For Countries in ZONE A1, the weight steps from 31g up to 2Kg have increased by €0.10.
For Countries in ZONES A2, B, C & D, the weight steps from 21g up to 2kg have increased by €0.10.
Local and Foreign Outbound Registered Mail and Advice of Delivery Services
Registered Mail Service – Local Rates €2.50 and Foreign Outbound Rates €5.50.
Advice of Delivery of Registered Mail Service – Local €2.50 and Foreign €3.50.
Local Bulk Mail
The domestic single piece postal tariff remains unchanged.
The Authority advised that bulk mail postal rates, that is, 50 or more postal articles of identical size and format and which are charged at a reduced rate also remain unchanged. However, if a single bulk-mailer exceeds the daily threshold of 2,000 bulk-mail items per day, there will be an additional charge €0.02 per bulk mail item processed.
MaltaPost’s stamp tariffs “remain the lowest in Europe compared to other postal operators,” the Authority said.
It added that “MaltaPost remains bound by one of the highest Universal Service quality of service targets for any European country.”
