IRC -- US to UK?

Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times...

I'm writing to some folks in the UK, and I'm not sure how many IRCs I should send. For a standard 9x12 envelope and an 8x10 photo, are 2 IRCs enough?

They are almost $2.00 USD right? Figure up the postage on the item and include that many IRC's. Piece of advice though stamps are the way to go. I did both and the stamped packages come back about three times as much. Also I dont think the people know what to do with the IRC's since they send them back with my photo 70% of the time and pay for shipping themselves.

Thanks, that makes sense! The people I'm writing to have responded with IRCs before, so I'm not worried about that :)

When I send from the UK to the US I usually send 3 IRCs.

3 should cover it.
