OK, this is probs a stupid question, but i have never sent a letter abroad before....
I want to send a letter from the UK to the US (and hopefully recieve a reply!) but dont know how to go about it....
do i just include international coupons (instead or as well as standard stamps) and an addressed envolope? If so how many???? (my letter will probably be about A4 sized...)

And how do i get my letter to America in the first place? Do i just use standard 1st class stamps (and how many?) or post my letter using international coupons or some sort of other postage stamp?????/

Sorry for sounding stupid!!

Dont sound stupid, i'm still learning about sending overseas too

do i just include international coupons (instead or as well as standard stamps) and an addressed envolope?
If you cant get hold of stamps for the country you are sending back from then sending international reply coupons allows the celeb to exchange them for stamps. Include one or the other and an addressed envelope

If so how many???? (my letter will probably be about A4 sized...)
It really depends on size and weight. If its A4 i would send 3 to be on the safe side

And how do i get my letter to America in the first place? Do i just use standard 1st class stamps (and how many?) or post my letter using international coupons or some sort of other postage stamp?????/
You need to take your letter to the post office where they will weigh it and give you a fixed price on how much it will cost to send to a certain country. They put on the stamps and stuff

Feel free to ask me anymore questions

Hello cpdw,

You can get your outward envelope addressed to the celebrity weighed at your post office, and they will give you the stamps there to send it to America. I'm not sure the exact amount it is since the price increase and to be sure that you've got the right amount I would get it weighed. {thumb2} They are the same stamps as the usual UK 1st class stamps you send domestically around the UK, you just need a greater quantity when you are sending abroad.

Yes if you don't have US stamps sending an SAE and IRCs is probably the best way to go about it. You would probably need about 3 IRCs just to make sure you've covered it.

Good luck with your request! really hope you are successful

Hey

do i just include international coupons (instead or as well as standard stamps)
For an A4 envelope to the US I send 2/3 IRC's.

and an addressed envolope?
Yes, Include a SAE.

And how do i get my letter to America in the first place?
Take it to the Post Office so thay can weigh it, give you the right ammount of stamps and put an air mail sticker on it.

Hope this has helped {thumb2}

THANKS GUYS!!!! you were all of great help! I think i know what im doing now!!!!
I cant wait to see if im successful!!!
oh i forgot to ask, where do i get IRCs from??? im guessing the post office but its best to be sure!!!
Thanks !

Yes you get IRCs at most big post offices. If you cant get them then you can trade/buy them off someone on here or buy them online.

Remember to ask for International Reply coupons not IRCs
