You can ask your post office to order them in before the price rise. My post office automatically asks me how many I want to order when they know a price rise is coming up.
Joe, AP haven't lost out if someone is using prepaid envelopes they bought ten or fifteen years ago. They've had the use of the money all that time but not had to provide the service. It's the same as me selling a service to someone and collecting the money now but not doing the work until ten years' time. Just let's say I do lawnmowing for people and someone prepays me ten years ahead - I get to use the money in the meantime, by either paying off my mortgage and reducing my interest or by using the money to upgrade my lawnmower so that when I do finally mow their lawn I can do it in half the time than if I did it when they paid. AP benefits by people paying before they use the service so they can hardly hang onto and use your money all that time and then ask for more when you finally get around to using the service you paid for.
I send a few letters that weigh between 251g and 500g but most of them are registered so I'll be using the prepaid reg'd envelopes once I've used up my box of stickers. They'd better not do away with this size letter because I'd have no use for my remaining rego stickers, but I can't see them doing away with this weight range/size if they're still offering prepaid reg'd envelopes in it.
