Hi, I have three 50 pence stamps with By Air Mail attached to them. I wonder if that will be enough for the person to answer me living in Sweden after the summer. I have heard that there are going to be an increase with English Stamps price. I wonder if that is true?

I've moved this to Collecting Help.
The person in Sweden cannot use UK stamps to reply to you, you have to buy International Reply Coupon from the post office and send one of those.

You have missunderstanded me, because I live in Sweden you see. I wonder if 50 pence will be enough for the person to answer me back from England to Sweden. Will there be a increase for sending to rest of Europe from England is my question. ;)

Oh right, I see what you mean now, sorry about that.
It depends on what seize envelope your SAE is, as the postage is worked out on size/width/weight. So what size is your SAE?

C5 costs about 56p if memory serves, and C4 costs between £1-£1.30 last time I sent a few.

Really, can it be that expensive. I bouhgt 3 50p stamps from a friend and I thought that would at least be enough for three C5s. In Sweden it doesn't matter what size you send, only the weight of what you're sending.

Also... I have now three 50p stamps, all with an air mail stamp which makes it able to send it back to me. What size of the envelope can I then have to make it able for me to send three SASE? I hope I can at least send three cards out to get signed. I was planning on sending posters out but that seems impossible now

Found this now...

It's all about the weight of the SASE. Under 20 gram and it will go for 50p.
