Help sending to Europe!!!

Unread post by footiefan3 »

I need help sending to England and Germany. I am in the USA, and I was wondering what I need to do to send to German and English football players.
1. What type of postage do I need to buy/send?
2. Do I need to send my own photo?
3. Any tips or tricks?
4. Do I send a SASE?

Thanks,

Footiefan

Hi

I think you just need the following...

1. International Reply Coupons. You can only buy these at the post office. I usually send at least a couple with each request to Europe or USA (I'm in UK). Just put them in loosely with your letter etc.
2. You don't have to send your own photo, but most clubs will only send you a small postcard sized signed photo back if anything at all, so if you want a chance of a nicer bigger photo, and don't mind the fact that you might not get it back, i usually include my own photo. For example when i requested Nemanja Vidic at Man United i just got a small signed postcard back but someone has just put up a success sending their own photo so they got a nice big photo. So if its easy i would send my own photo.
3. It's just luck really, i try to check who's had success already, but some players just won't reply and some will, so it's just luck i guess.
4. I would send an envelope with your address on, but no stamps, cos they will use the International Reply Coupons to buy postage which will then be stuck on your envelope.

Hope that helps :-)
