Hello there,

I have just started collecting autographs. I think this forum and the main site is amazing!!!

I have an issue, I want to get Julia Robert's and Mark Harmon's autograph, just like for people in the UK, I have included a Letter, a photo and a self addressed envelope, However, what do I do for internatnal reply postage back to the uk?

I have had a look on the Royal Mail website: http://www.royalmail.com/reply-sender
It appears they have stopped selling International Reply Coupons...

So my question is, how do I proceed with sending off requests abroad???

I look forward to your reply,

Kindest Regards
Harrie Lambert

1. Buy US stamps from a user on here or on Ebay. $1.05 stamps are what you will need to use.

OR

2. Buy some US dollars from the Post Office/Travel Agents and stick 2/3 in with each request.

If you are only sending those two requests out I would recommend option 2 but if you want to send 10+ requests I would recommend option 1. 8)

Im from the UK and i had the same problem.

the same as what @ScottishDan said

1) Buy USA stamps from here or Ebay or Trade your UK stamps with a user on here who has US stamps.

2) Get some Dollars from the Post office

I used the second option for lots of my requests and ive had about half of them back.
i included $2 for a few requests and then i included just a dollar and they got back to me.

I also recomend trying to do some Email requests like Studio Fan mail as they ship for free.

Yes they send out Pre Prints but it is a good way to get started.

Also some Celebs have a Fan Mail Email in Which you email the address and you get a genuine autograph from them.

Search Email Success in the fanmail.biz search box and you should find some UK stars and US stars that use Emails.
UK StarsI got Lord Sugar, James May, Holly Willoughby, Phillip Schofield and Stephen Mulhern and Len Goodman Via Email all Genuine

US stars
I got, Drew Seeley, Karan Brar, Coco Jones, Lane Napper Dan and Laura Dotson. Karan Brar and Dan And laura Dotson the only PP's.
