Hi,
Looking for some help here.
The other day my local post office had to close early when I tried to send a letter to Hong Kong and I was told to use one of the kiosks to buy a stamp and just pop it through the letter box. So I did, with an International Standard £2.20 stamp and popped it through. Now I've realised that I didn't put an Air Mail sticker on nor did I write that on the envelope. There's only the stamp. Would you be able to tell me what will happen? I asked the post office staff and rang the Royal Mail helpline afterwards, but every time I would get a completely different answer. It's an important letter. If it makes any difference, the letter and the envelope were hand-written. Thank you in advance.

Re: International Standard letter
Ideally, it should not cause any problems, the Air Mail sticker is not a requirement it is more to make it easier to spot.twong19 wrote: ↑01 Jul 2023, 05:30Hi,
