Hello,

I am trying to send my SASE from UK to USA.

Large Letter 150 grams or less comes out to $4.75

I am confused on which stamps to order from these:

http://shop.royalmail.com/make-up-value ... od78610025

- Not sure if this will work

http://shop.royalmail.com/revised-colou ... ku20000064

- No Idea how man I would need.

http://shop.royalmail.com/definitives-2 ... t/20150250

- Any help would be great.

Thank you!

You can use any of those stamps. As long as the total value is 4.75+.

For the middle ones linked to, just divide the price by 4, and you have the value, and can easily work out how many you need.

I went with the ones in the last link. I hope they work international, do I need to write airmail or something on it? I remember seeing something dumb about that.

As I said, all those stamps will work.

The UK does not have a dedicated Airmail stamp, like the US Global Forever. So in that case (like with most if not all Post Offices) you can use any stamps as long as the value meets the postage cost.

Yes it is a good idea to write Airmail on, the top left hand corner is where it usually goes here.

Check out the Royal Mail website for a dress tips if you want.

Apparently I cant send a Sase according to them:

Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for contacting Royal Mail.

I am sorry but we do not provide a service where you can buy return postage for International items, all I can advise you is to include a cheque inside your item to cover the postage costs.

What was your question? I thought from your second post you had bought stamps already.

I think from their reply (which technically is correct as they don't sell IRC s) they think you are in the UK.

If you've had trouble ordering from their shop, I've seen others have the same issue.

This member seems to have ordered successfully, maybe they will help if you PM?
