I Live In U.K. And Am Paying Return Postage For USA - Could I Use American Stamps Or IRC? WHat Is The Cheaper Option, And How Many IRC's Should I Use?

Many Thanks In Advance,

Sam

The royal mail website says it costs 60p for an IRC, and people suggest to send two, which makes it £1.20 for the IRC option.
I don't know about the price of US stamps though, with my music autographs, I use the option to send whilst the bands on tour

Qwerty (:

Hi Sam!

Firstly, please try to post in the correct forum ("Collecting Help").

Secondly, there's many topics about this in the "Collecting Help" forum, this one on the first page which perfectly answers your question. {thumb2} In short, stamps from the country you're sending to is usually the cheaper option. If your SAE is bigger than 8x6", I recommend sending 2-3 IRC's. Anything smaller, and 1 IRC would do.

Good luck,
zanne

Stamps would probably be cheaper.

For a large envelope you would need more than $1.20 in stamps. A smaller envelope would need $0.94

Feel free to pm me if you need more help with US prices.
