question about UK stamps
How much is one 1st stamp worth? And, what's the difference between 1st Large, 1st, 2nd Large and 2nd?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: question about UK stamps
1st stamps are like 60p, i think and large 1st are for large letters no bigger than A4 and with a certain weight. the 1st, 2nd means basically the priority so if you put a 1st class stamp on there it will get there quicker than a 2nd class stamp will, but 1st class stamps are slightly more expensive than 2nd class. Large 1st class stamps are around 90p. i usually put large stamps on all of mine just to make sure there paid for.
hope this helped.

Re: question about UK stamps
Thanks! So, if I put a 2nd Large stamp plus 4 .02 stamps, then I'll have 77p. Is this fine if I want to do surface mail from UK to US?tyler_jrb wrote:1st stamps are like 60p, i think and large 1st are for large letters no bigger than A4 and with a certain weight. the 1st, 2nd means basically the priority so if you put a 1st class stamp on there it will get there quicker than a 2nd class stamp will, but 1st class stamps are slightly more expensive than 2nd class.

Re: question about UK stamps
If my letter is under 20g, then surface mail is 77p. Since, second large = 69p, then if I added 8p more, then I would be at 77p.EmmaSheree wrote:no you will need at least 4 second class or 2 large letters and 1 second classmarksautographs wrote:Thanks!
