In Puerto Rico they use US stamps, and their postal service is managed by USPS. I had some unused US stamps and used them in the returning envelope.
But aren't you located in Mexico? And also, what about when you sent to O2 and Koln?
-Thanks!
Yes, I live in Mexico, but sometime ago I bought some US stamps from Ebay. For the O2 and Koln I sent 2 IRCs for each one. The letter from Koln was returned as RTS (it says zuruck an absender) , because they do not pass on fanmail ( I learned later here...). The MPL rejection letter from O2 was returned with only a 1st class stamp (incorrect postage) , so I think they put the first stamp they found.
Also I just had enough US stamps left for only 2 letters and I decided to use them for the Hollywood Bowl and Puerto Rico venues. I sent 2 dollars for the Jobing venue, but the MPL rejection letter was returned without stamps, and it arrived here that way.
So yes it can be a risk if you do not send the proper postage.
