Exactly... Why ask who don't need SASEs? If you want someones autograph, you WILL find a way to pay postage. By IRC, or stamps. I have to do pretty much work to get stamps ("order" from the shop owner, wait a few days and go back to get them). But, if you really want to send this person something, you will find a postage solution.

Thanks Ian, I've wondered lately what the stamps on my SASEs from UK means (something about from august bla bla, postage rates will be based on width & bla bla) :mrgreen: :wink:

All you need are the right search terms and of course some knowledge on stamps. :wink:

I totally agree with Ian and with scaarr.

I find it extremly rude and disrespectful to send requests without SASE's since the sender is the one who requests something from the addressee.

And if this request is not even worth the return postage to the sender then he/she should better not send anything at all.

Even if a celebrity makes millions per year do you really think he/she is willing to pay the postage for hundreds/thousands of requests that come in every week???

It's not only a point of respect and politeness but you will also increase your chances of getting anything back by enclosing a SASE. And if you don't like to send IRC's, why don't you have a look at eBay for foreign stamps. I get all my foreign stamps very cheap from either my stamp dealer or from eBay.

Best,
Stephan

Yep. You just pay the current $ -> £ rate on your credit card.

I will consider it :wink: But prices are in US Dollars $ so do they convert it?

I know what you mean. The mail prices wind me up too :x

However, the prices on the forum are totally correct as of today, as I spoke to the Royal Mail HQ in Peterborough this afternoon :wink:

What I have begun to do is buy US stamps online instead of trying to explain what an IRC is to the post office!!!! I live in a small village and my post office have no clue about them :P

If you (or someone you know) has a credit card, you can order US stamps from: http://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/ ... ogId=10152

I have found this to be a LOT cheaper!!

I sent a letter with a folded A4 letter in and it cost 50p and then another time I sent the exact same envelope and then they charged me 72p. Also its been £1.05 for a while and now its £1.12, a couple of pence doesn't bother me its just the IRC thing thats wound me up, I now have to go to a bigger town to get them and that post office has queue's the length of Big Ben :lol:
