You are right. I just checked a letter with a small item I received last week and it has an additional 10-cent stamp.

Yes, we realised a couple of weeks after the prices went up - only because we were checking the dimensions of a tracked envelope and noticed the price had increased.

 

I remember something on the news late last year that increases had been approved, but nothing later saying that they were being instigated, or on what date.

I purchase by the 20 x  booklet - quite a few to save the trip.

 

Now have to make it up with 10 cent stamps.
