The Post Office has blamed growing commercial costs for an increase in the price of stamps and some postal services.
From the end of April the cost of sending a local letter will rise by 1 penny to 38 pence and the cost of sending a UK bound letter will rise by 3 pence to 41 pence.
This is however substantially less than price hikes announced by the Royal Mail which has increased the cost of a First Class Stamp to 60 pence.
Among the other services affected by price increases in the Isle of Man are special delivery, airmail, international packets and parcelforce – all of which are provided under licence from Royal Mail.
Despite the increases the Post Office has said that its rates continue to be one of the lowest in Europe.
