American Stamps Problems?

I live in the UK and I sent a batch of letters to America out on 28/08/06. I use 2x 84c Yosemite National park stamps & 1x 2c Navajo Jewelry stamp. I have only had 1 out of 11 replies back which was Robert Englund. Its been quite a while and I was just wondering if the postage had changed or maybe the stamps I am using are not enough to cover the postage price from the USA to the UK. The photos I recieved from Robert Englund were quite small so maybe they just got posted. Do you think I should just wait a bit more or does anybody think the postage is not enough?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't worry MZ
$0.84 is enough from US -> Europe, up to 1 ounce (28g)
I would say 2 x $0.84 is more than enough even if you send bigger envelopes!
Hope you get something back soon!

Thanks, Volante. I just needed to be reasured that it was enough before I send out any more to the US.

You definitely should have enough
you probably just sent to busy people
wait about 3 months more and if no reply.. send again

Only write your address on the return envelope. So even if you don't have enough stamps on them it still comes back to you instead of going back to the sender. The only thing you'll have to do is pay or the missing stamps.

Hi Zorin
Don't worry! I only every use 2x 84c stamps and get stuff back OK
Some celebs just take a long time to respond, but lack of postage shouldn't be a problem.
I'm afraid you are just going to have to be more patient

I am terribly impatient myself, but it often takes up to a year (and longer) to get responses from top celebs.
Good luck!
Ian
