The cost of posting letters and parcels in Jersey is to increase - in some instances by more than a quarter.
Jersey Post is changing its pricing structure, with charges dependent on size as well as weight.
This will increase postal charges by 2% across the board, but some mail will go up by more than 25%.
Jersey Post said the changes, which take effect on Saturday, should make the costs "appropriate" for the material being sent.
The size-based pricing was approved by the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority last month.
The new pricing structure, which was adopted in the UK in 2006, will apply to letters and packets sent to local, UK and international addresses.
