Ah thanks for that. Thought for a while I hadn't sent enough to cover a US return!

Actually, your original statement was correct - it is $0.98

The IRC has to be able to cover the letter being sent to any country, which $0.98 will do. $0.75 only covers Canada and Mexico if I'm not mistaken.

My apoligies, it seems $0.75 is the minimum airmail cost in the USA, not $0.98.

One IRC is worth one x the minimum Airmail letter cost whatever the country. For the USA that cost is $0.98.

Hi,
I was wondering where you found the value of 1 IRC in America?

I would say 3 or 4 Irc's would be needed

You need to weigh the return envelope and check usps for the price. Your packet will count as a parcel so check those rates http://ircalc.usps.gov/
For a 8X10 board envelope I had to send 3 coupons.

hi i live in the uk and send mail to the us all of the time and i only use 1 international reply coupons, i have had 3 replys from the us and one coupon has been enough for each and i use a4 envelopes so generally 1 coupon is always enough

Impossible to say without knowing the weight of it all.

It depends on weight generally, when I write to USA celebrities (from UK) I include one IRC, but that is because I use normal standard envelopes. As you are using bubble envelopes, I would recommend sending 2 IRC's to be on the safe side. A lot of the time, if 2 IRC's are sent, and only 1 is needed, the celebrity/agent tend to post the spare one back, although this is not for definite.

Hope this helps, GeorgeStar.
