U.S. to U.K.

[BondCollector]

Hey, forgive me as I'm sure this question has been asked a million times.

I want to send some autograph requests over to the U.K. I plan on sending a photo for the actor/actress to sign and a self addressed envelope. From browsing, I understand that I should also enclose 2 IRC's which I can buy from my post office. Is this correct? And I can use American stamps on the initial envelope? Do you have any idea how many I should put on?

Thanks so much!

Hi BondCollector

I want to send some autograph requests over to the U.K. I plan on sending a photo for the actor/actress to sign and a self addressed envelope. From browsing, I understand that I should also enclose 2 IRC's which I can buy from my post office. Is this correct?

Yes, you are 100% correct on this first point

And I can use American stamps on the initial envelope? Do you have any idea how many I should put on?

Yes, stick American stamps on the inital envelope that you will be putting your SAE, photos, letter and IRC's in.

As for how many stamps to put on, I'm not 100% familiar with the costs. You may want to get it weighed at the post office if the envelope is going to be a bit heavy. There's a list of the cost to send letters overseas here, but I'm sure someone else can help out.

Good luck!

I think right now it is .80 from US to UK, but I'm not sure as I haven't sent out much since the postage price change. Maybe someone who has sent out more can confirm?

US -> SWEDEN is 0.84$ (up to 1 ounce)

I've memorized it since I buy american stamps to make SASEs! ;)

I'm 99% sure it's 0.84 to all european countries!



Good luck!

Thanks so much everyone!

I've hit most of the actors and actresses that I wanted to here in the states. Now I'm moving on to Europe.

One last question then, does anyone know how much IRC's are in American dollars?

[starreyes]

$1.75 last time I checked.

I just bought IRC's at my local post office. Just thought I'd confirm they are in fact $1.75.

Thanks for all your help!
