Ofcom has suspended planned wholesale price increases by Royal Mail of up to 36.1% following a dispute brought by bulk mail customers, with a decision expected within four months. The regulator aims to ensure Royal Mail offers fair and reasonable terms for network access under the Postal Services Act 2011.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Logistics Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a pause in Royal Mail's wholesale price hikes that opens a window to challenge cost structures and negotiate better terms. This regulatory hold shifts leverage towards bulk mail operators and could reset pricing power for postal network access.
