Hello! I feel a bit stupid for asking this, but I send a lot of mail abroad and it is increasingly inconvenient to rely on the post office opening hours to do so. Do I have to go to the post office to send international letters? I always have done, but I've seen many of my American friends bulk buying stamps and then applying multiple of them on an envelope until it covers what the cost of shipping would be - is that something we can do here? It'd definitely save me time if so!

If it's just for a bog standard letter (not a packet or parcel) with no requirement for customs declaration, tracking, signature on receipt
or compensation if lost, I don't see why not. Just make sure you check dimensions and weight against the
RM or Post Office website pages to ensure you pay the correct postage.

I've never looked at doing it online as I assumed it would require a printer to print the labels, which I don't have.
Thanks for the replies! I'll stock up on some stamps then haha. Thanks!
