UK to France HELP.

[Foxes96]

Hi, i have two questions. Please can you help.

1) After asking at the PO for stamps to send to france, he gave me two of these stamps, they have '68' in the corner. I checked the price for sending to France and it says 69p, but just be safe shall i put both stamps on the Envelope?

2) I read somewhere you should put the stamps of the country you want to send to on the envelope, so can i put regular UK 1st class stamps on the return envelope? Thanks.

Hi

1) Yes put both stamps on if you want to be sure. Or you can weigh your item on kitchen scales and look up the price again to see if one stamp will be enough.

2). No, UK stamps will not be acceptable for the return envelope, you need French ones. You can try and get French stamps through the forum if someone has them for trade/sale, or send cash. 5EURO is the smallest note so find somewhere which sells foreign currency and buy there. There used to be postal exchange coupons but they have been discontinued now.
