i have a piece of cardboard, a letter, 2 8R photos, a postcard of my town, and a SAE with 4 IRCs in it....hehe

i don't know why they are so heavy......

"Letter" and "Small Packet" in this case cover what's inside the mail, not how large it is. Both "Letter" and "Small Packet" have the following as maximum dimension:

Lenght + width + height must not exceed 35 inches, one side cannot exceed 23 inches.

Therefore, yours (at 8 x 12) is obviously fine. As you're writing corespondance too, on further checking it seems you will indeed have to use Letter, which is £2.80 (so sorry if I've confused you.)

As I said, an IRC is worth 62p here. Therefore, for £2.80, you'll need 5.

Also, 100g is rather heavy, what is it you're sending?

If you send it via Small Packet rate it's only £1.68 (rather than £2.80).

Be warned though, Alan rarely replies. It's up to you if you want to take the risk

my envelope is 8"x12", is it counted as a small packet or something else??
4 ircs is ok, right??

62p.

I just wanna ask 1 IRC stand for how much postage of UK?
coz i have bought 4 IRCs already, and i'm not sure it is enough or not.
my letter weight 100 gram, and i check the royal mail website, it said the postage of a letter that weight 100 gram to Hong Kong is £2.80 , i don't know how many ircs should i send together with my letter....

i'm going to send the mail to Alan Rickman...haha
