Eesti Post Raises Standard Delivery Rates
The state's postal service raised the fee for mailing domestic letters from 35 to 45 cents today.
The 10-cent increase was necessary due to the rising price of fuel and other operational costs, the company said.
Prepaid envelopes, for which postage is paid in advance, are still valid without an extra 10-cent stamp.
Stamps issued as of January 1 are priced in euros, but those purchased during the kroon era will be accepted until 2014.
Eesti Post asserted in its press release that its postal fees are among the lowest compared to neighboring countries. In Latvia posting a domestic letter costs 56 cents, in Sweden 63 cents and in Finland 75 cents.
