Hi just a couple of questions im going to see if I can find a seller of US stamps but just wondered first how many stamps do you use to send a large letter to the UK from the US? I think they sell in 46C stamps so how many of them per autograph will I need?
Thanks alot. xx

I'd say check the
www.usps.com website and find out for sure. But it's probably between $2.80-$3.50 depending on the weight.
I would buy $.90 stamps instead of $.42 stamps.

Hiya thanks for the advice but a friend told me about the site earlier today, I signed up fine but when I went to check-out I got
The Postal Store is not accepting International orders at this time.

I might just try buying IRC's in bulk, do you think you can still get a good success rate with them?
I just wondered because with a stamped envelope you can just send it back but an IRC you have to go to the post office get stamps/cash it in etc.
If you think IRC's are ok will it be about 2/3 per autograph?
Thanks for the advice {thumb2}

I think I worked it out as 3 Forever stamps ($0.42) for US > UK. Obviously would be more if you sent a heavy package. I cant remember how I worked out my maths, but that's what I've been using anyway. A friend sent me some books of 20, which were $8.40 each.

It all depends on how eacy it weighs.
I checked the usps site and they said that for one ounce it would be $1.20, which would be covered by 3 of the forever stamps (0.42) that osiris mentioned.
One ounce is about the weight of one 8X10 photo.
Two ounces is $2.00.
Hope that helped!
