hiya since that thing has changed in the UK about stamps and the size of th envelopes does that mean we have to pay more and put more stamps on i dont really underdstand it!!
At the momment i am sending about the size of a half a piece of A4 paper sized envelope mybe a little bit bigger!!
((it doesnt say measurements on the pack!!))
so does that mean i need more than one stamp on it!! IM so confused lol!!
Thanks for the help! xx

Hey kaz
If you were sending to the US, you would take it to the Post Office so I guess you're talking about sending within the UK.
If you send an A4 envelope with a photo etc. you would put a 1st or 2nd class
large stamp on them.

If you were sending a normal request with an SASE you would just put a normal 1st class stamp on. You only put one of the new stamps on if it is a large envelope going their or coming back. So on your SASE, you would put a large stamp (if the signed photo was relatively big)
You can buy the new stamps at the post office
At the momment i am sending about the size of a half a piece of A4 paper sized envelope mybe a little bit bigger!!
You would just put 1 normal First Class on then
I hope thats answered your questions
Good luck with your requests

Your envelopes are "C5" I believe... I send them too! =)
Mailman explained very good!
Hm, I just have a little bonus question about this. Since my envelopes aren't bigger than this limit, do I still need to use new/modern stamps? I always just put on different values so it covers the cost (0.44/0.64£). I hope this will work now too : (
