postage fr. US to Canada, buying us postage

[jonquillejaune]

ok, I'm hoping to buy American stamps for my SASE. How much does it cost to send a 9X12 envelope fr. Us to Canada using regular, dropped in a mailbox mail? What price of stamp? Does anyone know where I can buy US stamps and have them sent to Canada? Is sending US stamps in the mail fr. another country even legal? I'm hoping to avoid IRC to avoid complications

Also, is sending small things like bracelets acceptable practice? Can hemp be mail into the US ( I know their drug laws are very strict)

Any help would be much appreciated

here is a sticky on postage prices -http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic.php?t=14167

You will have to put canadian stamps on the outer envelope, and US stamps on your SASE.

goodluck

ok, but which one is regular mailbox mail? Airmail Letter Post ?
Economy (Surface) Letter Post?

The amount for a 9X12 envelope should be 0.90. That should cover a 8X10 photo (up to 2 ounces).

I think if you try the United States Postal Service website you can order US stamps there with your credit card. I haven't done it myself but will try later this week. Hope it works out for you and good luck.

it's like 76 cents or so. i've never actually sent a big envelope to Canada before. If you want, you can buy from me.

Keep in mind that if you order us stamps from United States Postal Service website they'll charge you $6 for shipping

Hey,

I personally trade Canadian stamps for US stamps as I can't buy them online (no credit card) and I've got a great friend who I've been trading with for a while...anyways, usually on my SASE I put 90cents worth of postage and that covers all of the USA. I have 87 cent and 3 cent stamps, but you can get different ones.

Best of luck getting some stamps! {thumb2}
