The swedish postal service sucks...

Hello,

I live in Sweden. I just called the swedish postal service to ask where to buy International Reply Coupons, and they told me they don't sell them anymore. And they also don't sell US stamps. Great, huh?

So, I don't what to do - should I just send SAE to the celeb? But it's kinda poor, if you ask me.

And, since I'm new at this, when you send a letter to a celeb do you add pictures or do the celeb send pictures? If not, where do I get these pictures of different celebrity?

Thank you!

You can buy stamps from other countries in the for sale forum. They are better than International Reply Coupons and usually are cheaper.

I look for my pictures on Google images first. I also look in Bing images and Yahoo images. There are also fan sites for celebrities as well that often have files as well. I print them out using an online site.

I mostly use SAE's... but if you use SASE's it highly increases your chances at getting a reply back...
I've used concealed cash too, but I don't really trust that completely so I try too limit that, so I'm thinking about ordering some forever stamps from the sale boards :)

I generally search for my photos on google too, and order it from foto.com (its the best price/quality combo available for me)
that way you'll get your favorite picture signed, and it increases your shots of getting an autograph since not all celebs have photos too send out :)

Good luck with collecting!
