There will be an increase in domestic postal rates come Monday.

Post Fiji says the postal rate increase is for domestic letters, domestic sea/surface parcels and domestic air parcels.

International postal rates for letters and parcels will remain unchanged.

Rates for premium value added services such as domestic and international registered post and fastpost services will also increase.

Post Fiji Board Chair Lawrence Tikaram says the last increase was in 2006 and this is necessary now due to the increase in operating costs of delivery of letters and parcels within Fiji.

Post Fiji has not revealed the how much the rate will increase by.
