mail to the UK

[pontifex]

how much does it cost to mail a letter sized envelope to the UK? Do I use stamps or do I have to take it to the post office?

Yes, you can use stamps...That's what they are for,ie, mailing letters.

Because "Destination Country" is probably set as United States/Domestic Mail--it defaults to that.

thanks, i totally missed that part somehow.
ok, next question, can i just throw it in my mailbox and away it goes (considering i have enough postage)?

Only if you want it insured w/tracking, would you go to the PO.

If you are mailing any kind of funds, to include bank drafts. Wrap them in a single sheet
of aluminum foil, then one sheet of used printer paper. This will keep the assclowns in
either country from suspecting contents. A draft can't be cashed but it can be stolen.

The link for the UK will tell you what you can't send to the UK.

Just a simple letter.

Don't remember EXACTLY, but, it's either 70 or 80 cents, for a letter. Been awhile since I mailed a letter to the UK.

I put three stamps on a letter and four on a card.
