Two Questions

1. When sending mail to the UK from Canada, what should I do about return postage? should I just put in a couple of dollars? if so how much?

2. When sending mail to the US from Canada, what should I do for return postage? should i just buy stamps (its easy for me to get them, i live right near the boarder) or should i send money? also how many stamps go on a 8x10 envelope? or is it better/easier to get it sent to a us address (which I can do) and then pick it up when it arrives. is it a big price difference?

Also a random question, do you think mail would get caught up in customs?

1. You would use Canadien postage, you can proably find a member on here with some, or throw in a few dollars(1-2)

2. also Canadien stamps, you can look up the prices at the Canada post website, and the USPS website.
