Boley Smillie, Guernsey Post Chief Executive admitted the increases were down to other cost pressures the utility firm is experiencing: “This year in particular we have experienced a significant increase in charges from our suppliers for the onward conveyance and delivery of mail to the UK and International destinations. However, we continue to work hard to offer the best possible prices and we are confident that our rates are still competitive.”
