UK postal services and international postal services - BTB Mailflight are here to help!
BTB Mailflight use the latest in technology when it comes to delivering your mail, both in terms of UK postal services and international postal services. Mailing services are something we all take for granted these days. We expect our mail and parcels to be delivered within a few days and we want our postage prices and postage rates to be affordable and reasonable. We believe that a range of mailing services should be available to all, and keeping postage prices low yet the level of our mailing services high is how we achieve this and get your deliveries there on time.
The history of mailing services and the rise in postage rates.
Taking a look at how and why postage prices have changed over the years shows us that the cost of UK postal services and also international postal services have been dependant on more than just inflation and technological developments. At BTB Mailflight we believe that we can use the latest technology to keep postage rates low, and our connections with other agencies to ensure reliable and affordable international postal services. However, it wasn't always possible for everyone to have access to mailing services they could trust.
At first glance, you might not think that there would be a link between conflict and postage prices. But between 1775 and 1815 Britain was at war almost constantly, either with the United States or with France, and in a bid to help finance these wars, postage rates were increased by the governments involved. The higher rates remained in force for nearly a quarter of a century following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815.
Moves to reduce postage prices
Galvanised by the growing anger over the cost of postage rates, a tax reformer named Rowland Hill came up with a series of proposals which he claimed would reform mailing services, making them more accessible for everyone, and not just the wealthy people of Britain. He published a pamphlet entititled 'Post Office Reform' which layed out proposals to make UK postal services more efficient and less costly. This pamphlet is now regarded by international postal services historians as a milestone in the development of the modern mailing services system.
Cutting postage prices today
We've come a long way since then, and BTB Mailflight use all of our expertise and the very latest technology when it comes to delivering your mail efficiently with our international postal services and UK postal services. We pride ourselves on the reliability of our international and UK postal services, offering affordable postage rates without compromising on the quality of our mailing services.
