This situation with stamps makes me laugh!

When you send mail from Canada, you use Canadian stamps to actually send your request. But if your return is from the UK or America or anywhere else in the world, you need to get stamps from that country. So for this particular request, your Canadian stamps wouldn't work to send it back to Canada to you, because Canadian stamps cannot be used in the UK. That is why there is a large Royal Mail stamp next to your Canadian stamps. You're basically just wasting a lot of Canada stamps by doing this, and possibly even hindering your chances of getting replies from the UK or America.nickey244 wrote:Uh?

I didn't put these stamps on the person at the post office did Idk why she did she normally puts like $1.85 stamps on unless she didn't have any at the time so that wasn't my faultfrankeedaley wrote:When you send mail from Canada, you use Canadian stamps to actually send your request.

Returns from the UK require UK stamps or UK £ so stamps can be purchased there. Returns from America require American stamps, or US$ so stamps can be purchased there. Returns from Australia require Australian stamps... and so on. The only country that would require Canadian stamps is - funnily enough - Canada. You use Canada stamps to send your request from your house, but if the celebrity you're requesting isn't in Canada, you use stamps from the country you're sending to on your return envelope.
I hope that clears things up for you?
That makes no sense, because this came from England. England don't use Canadian stamps...nickey244 wrote:I didn't put these stamps on the person at the post office did Idk why she did she normally puts like $1.85 stamps on unless she didn't have any at the time so that wasn't my faultfrankeedaley wrote:When you send mail from Canada, you use Canadian stamps to actually send your request.

She clearly didn't know that it was going to be sent from the UK.nickey244 wrote:I didn't put these stamps on the person at the post office did Idk why she did she normally puts like $1.85 stamps on unless she didn't have any at the time so that wasn't my faultfrankeedaley wrote:When you send mail from Canada, you use Canadian stamps to actually send your request.

She clearly did because she sent TO the uk. Kate's address is in the UK. How can you not know the reply would be from the UK if you clearly sent there? It's not going to come from Australia if you sent it to the UK is it?! Most ridiculous statement I've ever read.Markd wrote:She clearly didn't know that it was going to be sent from the UK.
I was just trying to help you. The fact of the matter is in the picture you posted, the only stamp that matters is that brown Royal Mail one which is from the UK. The Canadian ones mean nothing because the UK can only send mail from the UK with UK stamps. It's your money and your stamps you're wasting, but if you're not willing to listen then that's your issue.nickey244 wrote:Alright I don't really care... I've been doing this for 2 years now and haven't had any problems with sending with Canadian stamps
