HA! Yeah its true, like I said above I have never really sent a letter or anything through the mail. Just had to do my bills (not anymore, thanks internet!) and I paid those using a place by where I work.

But yeah, thanks for everyones help . This is like a whole new world I am entering...

I think thats all my questions...

Yeah, you just put the envelope on your mailbox. You’ve never sent a letter from your house before?

Well, I haven't posted a letter to the celebs yet (I've written to SFM only) and I don't know anything special about that but when I'm writing a letter I post it in the post boxes next to the post office.
P.S. I don't know if there are boxes like these in the other contries.

Jack Sparrow's Sweety

I never thought of mailing it right from my house... All you do is leave it in the mailbox right?

Now come on >_>. Don't not bid because of me, I don't think I would ever use 500 of them anyway. And the auction still has a while to go, so it'll probably get more expensive.

Thats 250 requests though ^_^, if you think 1 for mailing and then 1 folded up side for the SASE.

well the one I was looking at must have expired but here are a few more listings:

The 2nd of the 2 links I posted is for 500 of those bad boys! 9x12 with metal clasps and gummed seal. Only thing is you have to lick those to get them to seal but for what he's asking ($15 for all 500) is a hell of a deal. I'd even bid on that if I didn't have easy access to them. I'll save them for you though since you need them more than I do. A box of 100 in the store goes for 15-20 bucks so to get 500 of them for that price is unbelievable. Hope that helps!

Yeah I did look on ebay but I didn't find anything like that... What are you using to search? I typed in "9x12 envelope".

another avenue you might try if you want to get 9x12 envelopes is looking on ebay or something like that. I just looked them up for you and found that for about $15-$20, you can find a whole mess of listings on there. I found one listing that had 100 of the 9x12 envelopes for $17.99 which is a pretty decent deal. They were the peel and seal variety of envelopes so no need to lick that nasty gummy seal to seal them. Just thought I'd point that out to ya in case you hadn't thought of it yet. Hope that helps ya some! Good luck and like others before me have said, no such thing as a stupid question. We're all here and happy to help out in any way we can! Happy hunting!

You absolutely can use the 8.5x11...no sweat. The only time I've found that a bigger envelope is better is if you're printing pictures from your computer - I tend to print on 8.5x11 size paper, so the fit is tight with the pic, cardboard, SASE and letter.

If your outgoing postage is incorrect the envelope will be retunred to you stamped as "Insufficient Postage" (assuming you put your return address in the upper left hand corner).

If the postage on your SASE is incorrect, a few things can happen:
1. You might get no reply at all
2. The celeb can pick up the slack (as just happenend with me and Malcolm McDowell - he FedEx'd me a reply!)
3. Some folks put their return address on the SASE as well (in the upper left) so that no mater what happens, the envelope goes back to them. I haven't done this, but some people swear by it.

EDIT: fat fingers

So... lets say I use the 8.5x11.

I take that, I put ANOTHER 8.5x11 folded up inside it with postage and my address (a self addressed stamped envelope), and my letter. Then all I need to do is find the required amount of postage and drop it in the mailbox?

I'm just saying... I'm tired of looking around for the recommended 9x12 and I don't think 1 inch and a half is going to make much difference... Pictures will fit in an 8.5x11 right?

Uhh, this is probably off topic and pointless but I just want to know because I've never heard it discussed... What happens if the postage is incorrect?
