The usps website has a postage calculator which should be able to help you

Hi oshgal,

If you check out the International Postage Prices Thread you'll see that to send larger envelopes to the UK from the USA costs:

$1.24 10g (.35 oz)
$1.24 20g (.70 oz)
$2.08 40g (1.40 oz)
$2.92 60g (2.10 oz)
etc..

If I were you, I would check at your local post office to see how much your letter weighs so you'll know how many stamps to use.. So your envelope is 9 x 6 or a bit bigger than half an A4 page? I'd probably put about $2.04 on it to be safe but you can always check at your local post office.

A 6X9 (inches) envelope is still considered a normal sized envelope. As long as it is under an ounce you will only need 0.98 in stamps to the UK. That is two forever stamps and a 0.10 stamp or 3 forever stamps.

Good luck!
