Stamps for self-addressed to USA?

Post by alexd123 »

I am sending a letter from the Uk to USA and including a self-addressed envelope to be returned to me. Anyone know what stamps I put on it? Will a royal mail international do? Kind regards.

International SAEs have been a problem ever since international reply coupons were abolished.

UK stamps are only valid for items posted from inside the UK, so you can’t use stamps.

You could try USPS’s website and see if they have suitable print at home postage. But beware, many of the print at home postage services have a time limit during which they must be used. Given the delays to international mail at the moment, you really need to have a month allowed for posting back.

The best option is to pay the person at the other end to do it.
