When is royal mail green tariff surcharge ending this year?
Dear fellow Amazon sellers,
I hope you are all well.
My question is in regard to the 2p green tariff Royal Mail, I understand they added it to RM24/48 during their busy period.
I seem to remember reading this 2 pence green tariff was for a period of 3 months. I just cannot remember when it ends (and when they will reinstate it later in the year).
It works out to be £15 per week, not a huge amount but enough to buy some stock for Amazon.
Does it shown on the RM invoice.
As Royal Mail are not always that transparent in these things. I would not be surprised if they forget to remove it?
Thanks to anyone who`s able to help,
Warm regards, Stu

As I understood it the Green Surcharge was permanent. It was only the Peak Surcharge that was supposed to end.

Peak Surcharge: Effective from 20th November 2023 to 7th January 2024, this surcharge is due to the increased demands and operational costs during the holiday season. For many of our products, this means an additional £0.10 or £0.05 per item.
Green Surcharge: Starting sometime after 6th November 2023, there will be a 2p per item charge. Royal Mail claims that this surcharge will fund decarbonisation measures in their operational network.
