What about Dollar-bills insteat of IRCs?

Unread post by derbuehner »

Hi Everybody!
I am from Germany and wanted to ask if I can add 2 or 3 Dollars instead of two IRCs when I´m writing to a celeb in the US?

Thanks,
Chris

Hey,

I am from Germany too. I had some successes with 2 Dollar notes instead of an IRC. But you must be clear that if the celebrity doesn`t reply your money is lost.
The agencies mostly like more the IRC but it is your choice and try.

An IRC in Germany is about 1,80 Euro - so...very expensive.
A change of money into dollar notes is much cheaper, the rate is about 0,80 Euro per Dollar note.

Hope that helps.

Funny :roll:

Hi guys {up}

I would just say - be careful about sending cash in the mail. However if you have no other option then I would put the cash inside a separate envelope inside the main one. Just so it cannot be seen through the envelope from the outside.

Good luck :wink:

Hey there!!

I agree, sending money via the mail is a little risky! But if your willing to take the chance then go right ahead, Make sure you send to celebrities that will take money for stamps because i've seen some return the money back to you. Good luck!

Hey!

I too agree with the whole sending money through the mail is risky! I would suggest to only do so if you must! {up} I have found a site where you can buy stamps! I hope it can help! :D

Ok I know this is COMPLETELY random, but I couldn't help but notice that at the time I am posting this, Chrissy and Larisie both have exactly 458 posts.

Sorry for the randomness...I can't control it sometimes :D
