Sending mail to the UK or Ireland

[stlrnhwk]

Sorry if this has been asked, probably a dumb question but those of you in the US, have you had success mailing to England or Ireland? I've attempted it recently and used US stamps to cover the amount they say is needed from the USPS site but wondering also if using US Stamps will return for the SASE?

Thanks in advance!

If you send from the US to the UK and expect US stamps to work on the return, they won't work.

You need UK stamps to send mail out of the UK, the same way you need US stamps to send mail out of the US.

You'll find that ebay will sell almost every stamp imaginable.

Thank you for the help!

Thank you for the help!

You're welcome, though next time I would use the appropriate sections.

Either Collecting Help or Autograph Collecting Discussions, as this section is for feedback.

Do double check the Ireland addresses too. Only Northern Ireland is part of the UK and only for NI can you use UK stamps.
