Who has to send the furtherest to get an auto?
Just wanting to know how far you guys have to send letters to in order to get autos and how much you have to pay postage and irc's to send to that country?
Heres me
Look at your world map and youll find New Zealand near the bootom of the globe next to Australia. We are located in the south pacific. I send most of my requests to the UK which is about 1830 km's away from New Zealand. occasionaly i send to the states. Thats about 14187 km's to New York. I reckon i probably send the furtherest out of all fanmail.biz users eh? For postage it's 2 New Zealand dollars to send to both USA and UK. Thats about 74 pence. In US dollars its 1.33 dollars. Irc's here cost $3 each which is a cent under $2 US and is 1.11 pounds. I'll usually buy 2 irc's per letter if i do send irc's. So you guys state your info know, i'd like to see what lengths you have to go to in order to get autos. Information on distances between places can be found on google and on currency on http://www.travelex.com or other currency sites. csh rates may vary at different times!
Thanks!

Re: Who has to send the furtherest to get an auto?
lol I think most of us will know where New Zealand is
I myself live in England, and most of my letters aren't international, which I guess is pretty much the norm here (people sending within their own country, assuming the majority of people here are British or American or Canadian, but then it'll still be pretty similar with letters to the US). I will be sending a few to Canada and America. I've priced up American stamps cause IRCs are expensive here, about 90p each. It's cheaper to get a book of 20 stamps for about $8.40 (£4.20 ish). Each letter needs about three of these stamps for the SASE. Of course, you need someone in the US willing to buy them and post you them, or order them over the phone. Haven't checked out Canadian postage yet.

Re: Who has to send the furtherest to get an auto?
Actually many Americans (not the majority) who watched this NZ tv show in America thought New Zealand is an American state. They thought the actors were making up an accent! And some of them didnt even think New Zeaand was real! But yeah most people do know about it!osiris wrote:lol I think most of us will know where New Zealand is

Re: Who has to send the furtherest to get an auto?
LOL! That would be quite amusing if it wasn't also sort of scary that some Americans didn't know that.
Well as I like in the UK, my previous autograph attempts have only ever been to here. But now I have a few letters which I am sending to the US, Australia and New Zealand. As well as a couple of SAE's to America. I have no idea about prices for stamps and IRC's, as I'm not going to be using them. Both are awkward to obtain where I am, so I'm just going to be sending money instead. Bought $18 US dollars for £10 so hopefully that will cover the postage cost on a few items.

Re: Who has to send the furtherest to get an auto?
I'm in the states and I've never heard of someone thinking NZ was a US state. Weird! lol. Well the furthest I've sent to is India (although that was through e-mail). Although I do send alot to the UK. It's $.94 to send a general envelope to the UK. I've sent a few to Canada, but that's not very far at all. lol. And it's $1.63 to send a 8X12.

Re: Who has to send the furtherest to get an auto?
First off, since when is it closer to send a letter from New Zealand to Great Britain then to New York? (Maybe I'm extremely ignorant?)
And from Hong Kong to Russia is farther than sending it to the UK???
And I'm proud to be from America -- we're not idiots.
The farthest for me in London. Most of mine are sent 80 miles away!
