Swiss Post will raise letter prices next year: A to CHF 1.40, B to CHF 1.10; parcel prices stay frozen until 2029, announced Thursday. Standard A letters rise from CHF 1.20; large A letters cost CHF 2.75. B standard rises from CHF 1.00 to CHF 1.10. Weight categories change: standard letters now max 50g, covering >95% of current standard letters. New bulky letters cost CHF 4.20.
