This isn't my post, but I figured it would be appropriate to ask my question here.

I am in the US sending to the UK. Last time I was in the UK I bought a bunch of first class stamps. About how many should I put on the return envelope? I include a LOR, return envelope, and sometimes a picture. I'm not entirely sure how much it weighs, but it isn't much.

You can't get them online, only at the post office. Many smaller post offices will choose not to stock them, so check the bigger ones in your area.

Thanks. Could you give me a link to them? If I buy them online do I need to print them or can I get them another way?

IRCs only comes in one denomination, and I believe it's currently worth only 62p in the UK, so you'll need three of them.

The return postage for the SASE+picture (assuming 8x10) will be £1.35
So roughly 3 US Stamps for US to UK. And do I get an IRC to cover the $1.35 or do they have certain denominations?

Hope this helps a bit :)

I think it might be easier to use IRC's. Not quite sure what you meant by 2/3. Can you specify?
