I've been wanting to send to Robert Pattison in the UK for the past month, but I'm not sure what to do about the whole IRC thing. If I have a manilla envelope (the yellowish ones) that are 9x12, should getting just 1 IRC work? Or would I need to purchase 2 or more?

Thanks! :D

i'm not sure about this answer, as i know nothing about IRC's but i wanted to bump the topic for ya {thumb2}

^ while that's true, both America and Britain have stamps that never go up in value. Well, rather if you buy a 1st class stamp in UK or a Forever stamp in US, even if the cost of buying them goes up, so will the value of the stamp itself :) They don't have monetary values printed on them.

I always use IRC's because you never know when postage rates go up in other countries. The cost of IRC's have gone up quite a lot over the last few years. When I can find them I usually buy about 20 and have them for a while. They're good to have around just in case.

Hey again sunkissed08! ;-)

I know that at least Rob Pattinson and Ed Westwick have added/paid extra postage in the past. {thumb2} Rob sent me his own enevlope (on which he wrote my address) and paid for postage, while Ed's mail got forwarded to him in the US so he added US postage. :)

So don't lose hope, good luck sunkissed08!! {up}

US stamps won't work as postage from the UK to the US. Hopefully someone will use another envelope for you and put UK postage on it. (and return your SASE)

US stamps won't work from UK to US. You'll have to hope the person you're writing to is a generous soul and will add postage for you :) (maybe even returning your SASE).

thanks so much for the replies! ;-) zanne, that's awesome that you got a reply from just a SAE {thumb2} but i put US stamps on the SASE :neutral: is that bad?

Do you mean you put US stamps on the SASE? Or UK? As Zanne said, sometimes UK agencies will put stamps on for you, other times they wont. US ones obviously wont work, and if you put not enough UK stamps on you may have the same problem, but you may find the agency helps you out if you're lucky :)
