How many stamps should i put on my 9/12 envelope to america?

[thejoker]

Hi,
Im from england and want to send a ordinary 9 by 12 inch envelope to america. I was thinking i could just put three 1st class stamps on it.
Can i do that or do i have to use a special envelope or something. What do i have to do?
Please help

Hi there,

What I do when I want to send to America is look on the Royal Mail/ USPS website and calculate how much postage would be each way. On your SASE envelope you put the right amount of postage in US stamps for it to get back to you in the UK and on your sending envelope you put the right amount of UK stamps for it to get to the US.
When I send a letter to USA it usually costs around 90p but it can vary at different weights so its best to check it on the Royal Mail website and I usually put my address on the back so if there isnt enough postage the royal mail will usually return it to you letting you know.

Any further questions please ask and Good luck with your collecting! {thumb2}
