Well, I normally use a 2/3 stamps to go to the US then 2 coming back. I will soon be sending out an envelope without an SAE to the US as I am purchasing some autographs. If you are really unsure you can take it to the post office and have it weighed, you will have to pay for the weight and they will give you the correct number of stamps.
If you don't have the time to go down to the post office you can check out the royal mail website. 2/3 stamps should be OK though. Yahoo Answers is will give you quick answers for people who live in the UK sending out to the US also.


Good luck, tell me how it goes!
Autographs recieved : Sharon Doger, Eva Schloss, Julie Andrews, Salman Rushdie and Melissa Joan Hart

85 kg is a lot :) If it was 85 g, it is 2.998 oz... So rather count with three.

Calculate postage here> http://ircalc.usps.gov/ according to envelope measurements and somebody will help you with the stamps.

An index card in small envelope *C6 , depending of course on the weight, should be covered by 3 stamps. Yes, it is waste of some stamps value, but two are not enough, I think.

You will need seven (7) stamps if I counted correctly.

No problem, but please do not start new duplicate threads asking basically the same question.

You could have as well put your question here, in already existing thread
http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic ... 99#p870899

I am sure somebody would help you there, too.

Use the calculator on USPS webpage and you can find out for yourself, if you have doubts.

Thanks.
