Cash or IRCs?

[renef09]

Hello everyone, is it okay to send cash instead of IRCs? I know that, for example, there is an agency in the UK that doesn't accept cash for postage... In my country we don't have IRCs.

Thanks!

You could try to get some UK stamps

Im not sure as the lowest currency is £5 here and its dangerous to send coins through the mail.

Or maybe just send a SAE and explain in your letter why you cant get stamps.

Who are you writing to? or was it just a hypathetical made up situation?

Hi Emma! I found the agency I was talking about: http://www.unitedagents.co.uk/fans

It's the agency of Ewan McGregor. Yes... maybe I could try getting UK postage or perhaps sending cash, but I meant paper money! Not coins...

Have you had any UK requests come back before?

I don't recall having sent anything to the UK before, but this is maybe the only one that asks only a stamped envelope (understanding that they could be IRCs too). For the rest, I understand that cash can be sent for postage.

I would Buy/trade for some UK stamps
go to the Sale and Exchange forum and look for people selling UK stamps

Go to the effort of getting some stamps, there's plenty of people on here who will happily sell you x amount.

Failing that you can order from the companies themselves (I'm in the UK and have just ordered some from New Zealand Post, Free postage too!!).

I assume that you're most likely to get a reply if they have nothing else to do other than chuck it in the post. If I was receiving all of the fanmail, I'd think why should I pay for your postage/envelopes and why should I have to mess around cashing in IRCs or buying stamps. You should take the time and effort yourself. It's still going to be cheaper than buying an graph outright, and I'm adamant it'll improve your chances.

In my own opinion of course

Thank you Emma!

And Mongo, indeed, I think you are absolutely right.

Thanks!

Good luck!

Good luck!

By the way, just to know... For example, for an A4 size photo, or an A4 size photo with a cardboard, how much pounds do I need in postage?
