Do royal mail charge extra to guernsey

Yes, Royal Mail does charge extra to deliver mail to Guernsey, which is a British Crown dependency located in the English Channel. Here's why:

  1. International delivery: Guernsey is not part of the UK, so Royal Mail treats it as an international destination. This means that mail sent to Guernsey is subject to international postage rates, which are generally higher than domestic rates.
  2. Airmail surcharge: Royal Mail applies an airmail surcharge to mail sent to Guernsey, which is an additional fee on top of the standard international postage rate. This surcharge helps cover the costs of flying mail to Guernsey.
  3. Fuel surcharge: Royal Mail also applies a fuel surcharge to international mail, including mail sent to Guernsey. This surcharge is designed to offset the rising cost of fuel and other transportation costs.

The exact cost of sending mail to Guernsey will depend on the type of mail, its weight, size, and the level of service required. Here are some approximate costs:
