What do you guys prefer sending?

[HelloMrScreen13]

Plain and Simple...

An IRC or a few dollars?
Just wondering what you guys think works best!

Thanks,

I never send cash in the mail. I've never tried it regarding autographs, but I've had negative experience with it for stuff like paying for photocopies from records clerks.

I know the post office discourages sending cash in the mail.

I do send IRCs.

Thanks, I've just heard of people sending 2 dollars and it working frequently

Stamps -> IRCs -> Money

IMO, cash works best for overseas requests. That's what I use and I have an 80% success rate from overseas. IRCs are expensive and a lot of celebrities don't even know what to do with them.

I always note in my letters that I sent IRCs to cover postage to the US. The two times I've tried sending cash through the mail, to UK celebs known for being very good with fan mail, resulted in me getting nothing back. I've had way more success with IRCs.

In fact, I decided to crunch the numbers. Since I started writing again in May of 2010, of 17 celebs in the UK I sent to using IRCs, 13 have come back; 76% is pretty darn good, I think. That number will probably be higher, since several of those requests were just in the last two months or so.

I've spoken to other members through PM, and it seems its half and half... and these guys have good results. Im thinking sending 2 dollars for the US requests is the easier option. I dunno...

I would send cash, but make sure it is hidden very well. IRC's strike me as a pain.

Might have to go get 8 dollars out tommorow, and then send my letters out to the avengers set
