confused about IRCs and SASE

[phantom04]

Here's my question...I wanted to write to Izabel Goulart but her fan mail address is a London address.

Izabel Goulart
ICM Models
2 Henrietta Street
2nd Floor
Covent Garden
London
WC2E 8PS
UK


This is going to be my first request I send outside of the U.S. and I want to make sure I do it right. I was looking through the collecting help section and it said something about filling out a form and using IRCs and not to send a SASE with U.S. stamps. So on to my question... Do I need to fill out a form? And can I still use U.S. stamps to get my letter there but include IRCs to recieve it back? I hope this makes sense.

I appreciate any help!!!

You use US stamps to get your letter there, and UK stamps on the SASE. Or you could send a SAE and include a dollar or two to cover postage.

If you choose to include a SASE, you could always trade with someone on the site for UK postage.

Hi phantom04

You are totally right Use US stamps on your envelope to send out your request to the USA (be sure to also attach a free AIRMAIL sticker - you can get this from your post office)

Then you can either enclose a postage paid envelope with UK postage on it (if you have UK stamps), or simply paperclip a couple of IRC's to your return envelope it that suits you better

The form you are talking about is a customs declaration, but if you are only sending a letter, or a letter and a photo then you shouldn't have to bother with this. If on the other habd you are sending a more bulky item to be signed, then you might be well advised to fill out a CN22 Customs Declaration. It just declares what you are sending, and prevents the Celeb (or their agent) from being charged any import duty on the item you are sending them

Best of luck!
