Hi ashley2k,
Really this post should be posted in the "Collecting Help", so hopefully someone will move it!
From reading your post, I gather you sent your letter to the "Lost" cast, using US Stamps. If you posted it in the UK with US stamps on it would not have been delivered! Royal Mail stamps are the only ones that work in the UK, so if it had US Stamps on the front of it, it would just have come under "Undeliverable mail".
If you haven't done this, just be paitent! They may have quite a bit of mail to get through. Or if you feel that you have waited too long, try again!
Hope This Helps,

Hi ashley2k01
I am a little confused

And by the sounds of it I am not the only one!
By what you write, it sounds as if you live in the UK, and you have mailed a letter to Hawaii and put US stamps on it. Why?
If you mail out of the UK, you ALWAYS have to use UK (Royal Mail) stamps.
If however you lived in the USA and wanted to mail to Hawaii, then you can use US stamps, as Hawaii is a US state.
If, like it sounds, you mailed your letter from the UK with US stamps on it, then it is not going anywhere

If you put an "if undeliverable" address on it you will be getting it back sometime soon - UNDELIVERED!!!!!
Of course, you might be really lucky if somebody in the postal service takes pity on you and lets it through

Stranger things have happened . . . . . .

Once again Ian. You beat me to a question that I have the answer for.

No trouble though.
What Ian said is what I gather and agree with. If you live in the UK and used US stamps, then it should come back to you.

Hi ash2k,
If you used UK stamps on your main envelope to Hawaii then that should be fine.
