new guy here ! intro & probably a dumb IRC question

[seattleprospectors]

I wanted to say hello !

I have been collecting autographs a long time now , since I was about six years old.
I basically stick with sports stars, all sports, all countries, mostly those who I really admire for specific reasons do I go out of my way to get an autograph from these days. I would like to continue the success and addicting past time with my child. I just recently stumbled upon online forums when searching for International Reply Coupons.

For the record, I did search for about an hour and a half before deciding to ask this here. I even saw the post regarding royal mail.....

So I am sending something to south korea. I went to the post office today because the person is actually requesting IRCs and I was told they did not have any in stock. I came home to order them online usps.com because it popped up in a google search but just found they stopped selling them in the beginning of last year.

So , should I take my chances and send american dollars ? I also have an account with wells fargo which allows me to purchase international currency for no charge (including korean yuan) should i take a chance and send that ? I know it is risky but really not sure what else to do...

Also anyone know any good sites on how to estimate shipping charges out of korea ? If not I guess I would stay on the safe side and pay $20 or about 22,000 yuan to get my photos back.



Thanks for any help ! and if not no worries ! still seems like a fun and very valuable forum ! cant wait to get to know you guys !

Just an idea - I wonder if you can buy Korean postage from one of their Post offices on line and have them mail a bunch to you or maybe through an international bank here or there?

Welcome!!

You probably have a better chance of receiving a reply back if you buy the stamps from that country, in this case Korea! If you are unable to buy online, then the next best thing would be to get the Korean currency from your bank

Good luck!

thanks for the replies guys

- wow dankers that is reeeeeallllllly cheap for international packages

I was thinking of sending 20,000 won but it looks like the most expensive is 2000-4000

maybe just to stay on the safe side ill send 12,000

thanks again !


I found some korean stamps on ebay but it will take too long to receive , gotta mail this out by monday , already waited too long i think ....

Merely a thought : My spouse and i question whenever you can obtain Korean postage from one of these Publish places of work online and have these people email a whole lot to you or maybe using an overseas lender right here as well as right now there?
