return postage from UK to usa big envelope

Hey guys!

I'm sending a flat but fairly large 11" x 17" bubble envelope to the UK. It seems IRC are not sold anymore so do I send a bunch of UK stamps or US cash? I have a feeling it'd take a lot of stamps to get a bubble envelope back here. Thanks!

EDIT: It looks like shipping will be $13 going there (USA to UK is always expensive!) so I'm guessing I'd need to send $15 somehow. I don't think $15 in UK stamps or cash is the best of ideas...?

www.royal-mail.com has a price calculator, where you can get the information you need.

I think a 11x17 bubble mailer will have to go as Small Packet which is considerably more expensive than an airmail letter. :(

UK stamps would be best for return postage but some in the US do use $ with some successes.
