Postage for UK to USA help please

[DR35150]

I am looking to purchase UK stamps so I can send requests to the UK. I've tried to find the info in the database but had no luck so sorry if this has been covered before. When I do get some UK stamps how much generally is postage for a 8X10 photo with backboard to be sent to the USA from the UK? I have tried to figure this out using the Royalmail but my knowledge of the metric system is at best slim and I have absolutely no idea how many grams a picture would weigh. Any help would be appreciated as there are many great celebrities I would love to obtain autographs from in the UK.

Also is buying directly from Royalmail the best way to go?

Thanks in advance! {thumb2}

I use second class stamps which are worth .30 each. To cover the cost of a 8X10, I think that would be about 1.35

I checked and here is what I found:
From the UK to the US:
up to 10g 62p
up to 20g 90p
up to 40g £1.35
up to 60g £1.82
up to 80g £2.31
up to100g £2.80
up to 120g £3.26

Hope this helped.

I am also moving this to the correct forum.

I have no idea what a 8X10 picture weighs in grams. Could a UK resident who sends photos to the US please let me know how much postage you use????

Thanks for moving this where no one reads them hardly.

There are some very good members who like helping people in the Collecting Help forum.

I sent a SASE to the UK and received a 8X10 back with 1.35 in stamps.

If you do however know what an 8x10 weighs in ounces, you can convert it here http://www.metric-conversions.org/weigh ... ounces.htm
