A forever stamp is worth 49¢ and a global forever stamp is worth $1.20 currently.

I send the same size photo you're asking about, and the cost from the USA to the UK is $3.36. I'm not sure where you live but the cost should be close. So if you put 3 global forever stamps on it, you will have more than enough postage. You could also do 2 global forever stamps and 2 forever stamps.

Ebay :)

USPS themselves used to sell the Global Forever stamp via their eBay store, but don't any longer for some reason.

There are plenty of private sellers though that do still sell them.

thank you so much for that link KimmyLee, and your amazing information you've provided to others.

Great community spirit.

As you do seem to know quite a bit, would you say 2 Global Forever Stamps would cover a 10x8 cardboard back envelope with a couple of photos inside?

Thanks :)

My instinct is to say no, as i think USPS count cardboard envelopes as packages which raises the cost considerably.

They have a postal calculator in their website, so use that and it'll give you the correct answer.

There are alot of different places that you can buy US postage stamps as the United States Postal Service has expanded the availability of the products recently.

Some of the most popular places to buy postage stamps besides your local post office are listed below. All of these places sell books of 20 stamps that are nondenominational Forever stamps. They are all open 7 days a week and offer better hours than you local post office.

The reply above is only good if you live in the USA.

Most seeking US stamps live abroad, Amazon is an option, USPS.com is not (they do not ship abroad), but they do have an official eBay store with worldwide shipping.

Hi all,

There hasn't been a reply on this thread for a bit, but can anyone help me please?

I live in the UK and need to send a 8.5x11 SEA to the US(California).

Are the below the best stamps to buy to pay for the postage back to the UK? If not, or they are available cheaper elsewhere, can you please advise. Also, using the postage calculator it's coming out at $34.25(£25.74) which seems a little expensive. What prices should I be looking at?
