Thank you, BossC, Phoebe and LeMon. {thumb2} I think you're right, perhaps the post office can't check each stamp individually, so they don't notice the US stamps always. I wouldn't risk sending my US stamps to the UK though as I don't believe it'll work! {up}

Thanks!!

I completely agree with above. {up}
I've also seen a few successes from the UK with Polish stamps on the envelope :lol:
I know it's a bit risky, but I'll try sooner or later with a small envelope :D

I think BossC is right, because it shouldn't really be done. I think it depends on how vigilant the person dealing with the mail is. It's a bit of a risk using them though! :lol:

Phoebe :D

It's possible that the UK mail people don't notice that it is US stamps--they just see that there are stamps on the letter and don't think to make sure that they are UK stamps.

Just my thoughts. {thumb2}

Question about USA stamps in the UK

Hi! ;)

I've noticed that there are some successes from the United Kingdom but with US stamps on the envelope. :? Now I know very well that you cannot use another country's stamps, but how come this seems to work? I've had people telling me that I can even use South African stamps on my SASE (which I still don't believe) as long as it covers the full postage. Can anyone help me with this and tell me how exactly it works (if it even does)? :)

Thank you! :D
