Sending to the USA??? (UK people only, probably)

Unread post by Foxes96 »

Hi again guys,
I'm a day away from sending my first request, i am sending to the USA. I have done everything, got stamps from the post office, wrote AIR MAIL on it, but my question is do i have to go to the post office to send it, or will a normal post box on a street do?

You'll need to take it to the post office and have them weight it for you and mail it out there. {up}

DUE TO MY BUSY WORK SCHEDULE OUTSIDE OF AUTOGRAPH COLLECTING & INCREASING SPAMMING ISSUES I CAN NO LONGER GIVE OUT OR LOOK UP VIA VENUE OR EMAIL ADDRESSES. TOO MANY 'FANS' WITH THE WRONG COLLECTING MOTIVES ON HERE KEEP ABUSING THESE TYPES OF ADDRESSES AND END UP SELLING THE SIGNED ITEMS LATER ON FOR PROFIT {down}

You don't need to take it to a post office - if you know the weight of the letter you can just put the right amount of stamps on it and put it in a post box.

If it's a large envelope which you're sending small packet, write "small packet" and "airmail" in the top left hand corner, fill out a customs form and put it bottom right.

If it's just an ordinary airmail letter, write "airmail" in the top l/h corner.

If you don't know the weight then obviously you can weigh it accurately at the post office, but as long as it's got enough stamps a post box is fine.
