Hello everyone!

I'm just wondering, I'm kind of new to international postage, and I'd love to write a letter to Chris Rankin, but he's in the USA.
I'm wondering what kind of stamp I'd need to put on the SAE, as I live in the UK, and where can I get these stamps?

Thank you so much :P

You can probably get IRCs at a local post office. Also some people sell US stamps here. You would put UK stamps on the envelope your sending out and US stamps on the other envelope. Hope I helped!

Even though I live in the US I don't know. Get forever stamps. They have a bell on them. Whatever the price of stamps are they will last forever.

Wanted to let you know that I heard from other UK people that it is very hard to find IRCs there. One person had a great tip: exchange UK money with US money and put that in the envelope. $2 should cover it.

How many would I need to put on just a normal sized envelope, containing a letter? :D

Thank you :D xoxo
