so I hate to be that guy but I was hoping if someone would be able to help me to see if I have am doing something wrong with my SASEs I am sending with requests to the UK. I have yet to get a single success from 8 requests I have sent over to the UK and I am wondering if I am doing something wrong with the address since everyone I have wrote too has a good success rate. I figured at least I would hear back from one of them.

On the SASE I am just putting my address here per normal and United States of America on the bottom. I am attaching 2 large letter Royal Mail stamps along with 4 regular regular First Class Royal Mail stamps (yes I am probably over paying with postage but I would rather be on the safe side with overseas mail)

I am also making a small note on the bottom left of the that says "International Post" since I don't have any of those stickers.

So am I missing something or am I just in a bit of a slump? Just wanted to see if I need to be doing something different with the address.

You left off the key piece of information: how long you've been waiting.

It's possible that your wait is just standard transit/travel time. Keep in mind that the average domestic wait for an autograph is usually about 3 months.

If I had a nickel for every "Where's my autograph? What'd I do wrong?" post I've seen after 1-2 weeks, I'd be quite wealthy. I'm not saying that you're one of those posters, but it's hard to say what's going on with your specific situation without send dates, as well as whether or not your original letters were shipped Priority or First Class.

Honestly, depending on who you wrote to, I wouldn't start worrying until the wait hits about 6 months. Easier said than done, I know.

They were all sent the first week of January. I think I am going to go and order some more Royal Mail stamps and try some of them again. lol I'm an eternal optimist.

January is not a long wait. I'd wait and only resend after a year.

It also depends on who they wrote to, though. As well as the mail service/class they used.
