How much postage do I need to send a 4x6 photo from UK to USA? I need to know so I can buy some British stamps.

I wanted to let you know that I did successfully but stamps from the Royal Mail site online, and they shipped it to my house in about a week. This is excellent news, because now I can mail celebs that are based in the UK

ne0ven0m did you have to pay online at the Royal Mail site? Interested because I have the same predicament - I desperately need 78p British stamps! I've posted in the exchange/to sell thread of fanmail.biz, but the offers I had were for ridiculous amounts of money, which I'm not willing to pay

thank you so much for that link. i searched for british stamps online but kept getting all these collection sites when i wanted their post office. i've placed an order and hopefully it all works out and they'll arrive to the US.

Try going to the postmens website, for example, the UK has Royal Mail, so I go to http://www.royalmail.co.uk or whatever it is.
That's all I can suggest

Hello All,

I've been looking for IRCs in the nearby post offices and none of them have any. If anyone would buy some for me and mail them to me, I would re-emburse you for it and be very grateful! Please let me know if you can help. Thanks!

Also, is there a way to either buy foreign currency and/or stamps to use? I'm mainly interested in the UK's pound or stamps.
