With Royal Mail price increases announced this week, the GCA is renewing its call for the greetings industry to sign its petition
The GCA believes Ofcom’s proposals will be detrimental to the greeting card industry, leaving businesses and consumers reliant on an unregulated first-class service to be certain of a delivery date or for a Saturday delivery, so are asking Parliament to review these before they are brought in – but it needs 10,000 signatures and is short by just over 2,000!
You can sign the petition at https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/701850
Price rises were announced by Royal Mail on March 3, and the GCA is concerned about the impact of these proposals on small businesses across the country that send out B2C orders, and of course greeting card consumers wishing to connect with their loved ones .
The impact of this change will be felt across the High Street, for example, CEO of National Federation of Sub-postmasters, Calum Greenhow, cited recent PO research “... 75% of postmasters believe it could have a large or extremely large impact on their post office business and 64% believe it would have a significant impact on their non-post office business’’.
