BVD postage costs rising to €2 this month

The cost of sending BVD samples is set to rise with new An Post charges for 2019. The cost of sending up 10 samples will increase from €1.80 to €2 from 25 February.

If the postage paid is not enough, samples will be delayed. Enfer recommends that larger amounts of tags should be registered to ensure delivery.

Please be advised - From February 25th 2019 the new minimum postage rate for sending up to 10 BVD samples is €2.00. This is An Post Minimum fee, even if sending one sample. For a full list of all postage rate increases please visit https://t.co/gjci8yRdLT
