Hi ive been told by 2 post offices that I cant pre-pay for postage to put on my return envelope. Im trying to send a SAE and pics to sign, to America, and all I want to do is make sure the return envelope has the stamps on it it needs.
Can anyone help, cheers.....

Hi Leon,
I put postage on my envelopes (from US to US; from US to Canada, and from US to UK) all the time and get them back practically every day. I just bought some stamps from the UK yesterday! haha
The price, I suspect, would depend on the size and the weight. If you send out two 8x10 inch photos for example, just be careful not to put any thick corrugated cardboard to protect the photos or you'll have to pay a higher rate as parcel which is around $14 US dollars from US to UK. Otherwise, if it's bendable and more like paper, it should be in the $8 US dollar range. (I use a very thin cardboard that is used for mailing photos and still somewhat flexible) and it goes out at the $8 price.
In short, you can go online and buy 8 dollars + worth of stamps. Maybe put $9 worth of stamps to be safe. to have it go back to the UK.
Good luck!
