Yes that's very much okay... I almost never put the exact amount of stamps on my envelopes, most often some cents too much (while I can't buy every stamp value...).

oh sorry! You are right! now i see it too :oops: :wink:

can I put on my envelope 11*39 cent stamps = $4,29?

Write 5 in the ounces box instead of 1, then read next to "airmail letter post" which is the cheapest fast alternative. If I wasn't blind, it said $4.20

I have a offer for us stamps (39 cent stamps) from a member from here {up}

But why your site (http://ircalc.usps.gov/intl_speed.asp?C ... Ounces=4,4) says that the cheapest postage to Germany is: Global Priority Mail - Flat-rate Envelope (Small) more info about Global Priority Mail - Flat-rate Envelope (Small)
4 - 6 Days
$5.25

Now I have weight it:

The envelope weight 127 gramm! How much does that cost?

And yes I mean the US Stamps for the envelope to Will Smith :wink:

i bought me a balance, so I can weight it soon ;)

That sounds very heavy... Is it really that way?

And also, you shouldn't put US stamps on your envelope to Will Smith, you need German stamps there (if you're sending from Germany to US).

It's your included reply envelope, the SASE, which should have US stamps. I can't imagine that a C4 envelope + a picture could weigh 500g.

However, if your SASE + picture weigh 500g, it's about 18 ounces which is 10.40$.

This is why I wonder if your return package will weigh 500g:
One time I sent a C5 envelope including C4 envelope (same size as yours I believe) and an A4 sized picture... this all only weight 50g or less! :)
Therefore I'm pretty sure 2 or 3 ounces postage will be enough, 1.70$ or 2.55$

Hello Volante,

thank you for your fast reply and help!

My envelope with the response envelope and the picture have a weight of approx. 500 gramm (I think, because I have no chance to weight it)!

How much stamps I need? Can it have insured enveloped?
Or should I buy some international reply coupons?

Thanks
Denis
