If I send a letter to Canada and I am wanting to send return postage can I send american stamps? I heard somewhere that I can't. :neutral:

Because your envelope will be mailed in Canada, you need Canadian stamps.

Something else you could do would be to send some cash, or apologize in your letter and ask if they could pay it.

If you are going to be sending a lot to Canada you might want to purchase some stamps-try the selling board or Canadian post might mail to the us, I'm not sure.

Good luck! {up}

Canada Post accept website orders for worldwide shipping {up}

They also have price calculators, guides etc so you can work out how much postage you will need to buy.

I have some stuff I want to send to Canada, is it okay to just slip in like 3 US Bucks for the return postage? I don't feel like waiting a week to have Canada stamps sent to me. Plus it will cost $2.95 CAD to send it back, and they only sell $1.20 stamps! That means every letter you're losing 65 cents.
Doesn't everything cost more in Canada? lol

Not everything. I noticed the ben and Jerry's Utter Peanut Butter Clutter is much cheaper in Canada.
It's the one With the Peanut Butter Ice Cream and Peanut Butter Cookies and Crumbled Peanut Butter Cookie Core on top. Awwww man it's awesome dude it's da bomb I wanna eat it until the cows come home. :mrgreen:

Have a nice day :D

I tried sending cash for stamps but had no success. But I have seen others that did-and sometimes the star returns the cash.

Good luck with your letter!

You could look at it that way.

Or maybe the item will take a while to be signed, one or even two postage price increases in that time, but no worries because you overpaid and chances are that will cover the subsequent rise(s) {up}

You don't have to get just the $1.20 USA stamps, Canada Post do $1 stamps, 3 of those will see you overpay (at current prices) by a nickel.
