I want to send a SASE with two photos to be signed. I havent a clue what stamps etc to use. For my outter envelope for sending it there do I just take it to my post office and ask for international postage. What stamps do i need to put on my SASE?? Do they have to be american? Help please

Never done this before. Im a newbie!!!

well to post your letter from the uk to usa just take it to the post office and they will send it 'airmail'
with regards to your ssae you have to use us stamps(you can't buy irc's in the uk)but if you can't get any us stamps just put a few $'s(2/3) in your letter,and that should be ok,i have sent a good few with a few dollars in and i have had returns from them
hope that helps

looking in the for sale section and there is a few people who sell usa stamps through paypal,for a4 size it might cost $3 per ssae in us stamps on your return ssae(i send 6x8 and it costs me $2/$2.50 for return postage)
good luck with your request

I can sell you some US stamps if you would like! I'd also like to do a trade (I need UK stamps). Drop me a PM if you're interested in selling or trading for stamps!

To send the items you mentioned you would need 1.10 in American stamps, or that much in IRCs. I usually use 1 1.00 stamp and 1 10 cent stamp. I believe you can buy them off of the USPS website. Good luck!!
