Islanders can look forward to a Christmas bonus this year by posting their cards and letters early to friends and family at a reduced price. The special offer from Jersey Post covers items sent locally, to the UK, Europe and internationally, over a two week spell, bringing people closer together during the festive period.
During the promotion, cards and letters weighing up to 100g can be sent locally for 40p, reduced from 45p. Items weighing up to 100g destined for the UK and other Channel Islands will cost 50p, instead of the usual 55p. The Europe rate covering items up to 40g will be 60p, down from 65p and customers will save 15p on international mail up to 40g, paying 95p an item rather than £1.10. The reduced rates run from 27th November until 11th December only. Normal rates will resume at the end of the period.
The initiative coincides with the launch of this year’s Christmas stamps. Called ‘Christmas Fayre’, they feature traditional Christmas foods, including a Christmas pudding, a gingerbread house and yule log. The stamps have been designed by Michael Pollard, who has painted a number of issues for Jersey Post, and they will be available to buy from 27th November. Four are for use during the promotional period, and the other four are for once the reduced tariffs have ceased.
The stamps will add Christmas cheer to any envelope. They also make an ideal stocking filler or collectable for anyone wishing to buy a First Day Cover or Presentation Pack, available at Broad Street or online at www.jerseystamps.com.
As well as lower prices during the offer period, Jersey Post can help alleviate a little of the stress of Christmas with services such as SecureDrop, where parcels can be left in a nominated safe place if customers are out when their postie calls, or Text & Collect, when customers will receive a text to their mobile phone when an item for their household arrives at Commercial St or Rue des Pres.
Children can post their wish-lists to Santa and receive a reply from the great man in return, though of course whether he delivers will depend on how well behaved they have been this year! Letters should be addressed to Santa, c/o Jersey Post, Jersey, JE1 1AA.
All Islanders will receive a leaflet through the post over the next few days, which gives details of Christmas last posting dates, festive period opening hours, the reduced price stamps, handy hints for Christmas posting and more. The information is also available online at www.jerseypost.com/christmas and from any of the Island’s post offices.
