    Sending Overseas (Specifically, England)

    Hi,

    I am looking for a little help. I've mailed all across the US and Canada (a few times), but sending overseas is a different kind of beast.

    I really want to send to an actor c/o his agency in London, but I haven't the slightest clue as to how I am supposed to get it to him.

    I'm sure I can figure this out if I go to the post office, but I do not know when that'll be. Plus, I would like to rely on ya'll expertise first.

    Thank you!

    There isn't anything different in sending overseas. You just need to put an other stamp. A $0.98 one will be fine, this is what I put on my SASE and it always work.

    No you need a UK stamp but sending 2 dollar bills should be fine. That worked out for me many time before.

    Yeah, that's what I do when I'm sending to canada.
    You need a $0.98 stamp for the envelope containing your request (no more than one ounce) and 2 dollars for your SASE.

    Okay. Yeah, I figured what I said was wrong and I needed Brit postage. Thanks for all of the help, I completely understand now.

    Thank You.

    I usually send $2 per request or get IRCs from USPS.com, they do seem to take forever though! I have gotten tons this way though- good luck!

    Don't mean to hijack the thread but yes that same Karl Pilkington. If you liked the show, you need to buy/download the entire Ricky Gervais Podcast series, it is absolutely hilarious. It's what we listened to the entire road trip from Houston to Vegas. I have all the books he's written so I'm a big fan. Once again sorry for hijacking the thread for those two posts.
