As always, it depends on the weight and size of your envelope.

For your envelope TO Australia http://www.usps.com/prices/first-class- ... prices.htm check here for costs

For your envelope FROM Australia, if you haven't got Australian stamps, I would suggest including 2-3 IRC (depending on size of your envelope). You dont stick these on your envelope, you include them in your main envelope, along with your letter etc.

Remember to include "BY AIRMAIL/PAR AVION" on your envelopes. Top left corner is best.

Assuming it's a just letter+SASE,
$0.98 should cover postage
2 IRCs should cover return postage

This of course will increase if you're sending something else along with them.

I do wonder whether "airmail/par avion" is even necessary, I've never done it myself.

How Much is ONE IRC? and What Is That? lol

[dfreely]

One IRC currently costs $2.10

An IRC (International Reply Coupon) is a voucher that can be exchanged for enough postage to cover the minimal cost of sending a letter internationally. Basically, when the celebrity goes to the post office, he or she can exchange the IRCs for stamps.

Going back on what I said previously, I *think* one IRC might actually be enough.

And Do I Put The IRC's On The envelope or INSIDE?

[dfreely]

It goes inside, just like the letter and everything else.

I assume it's just to differentiate between surface mail. Technically they should be able to tell which you want by the amount you've paid, but it's always best to specify, I think
