How many IRC should I send to Robert Pattinson in the UK?
Thanks

[Lantash]

It depends on where you live and what your planing to send, how much photos and what sizes.

I would say if you live within Europe one IRC if your sending 4*6 pictures, 2 if your sending 8*10 pictures. Outside of Europe I would say two IRCs if your sending 4*6 and 3 when you're sending 8*10, that's my suggestion. I never used IRCs myself. I usually try to get stamps from the country I wanting to get a reply from.

[lisa98]

Dose Rob pay for your postage.Cuase I live in USA
Thanks

[Lantash]

I believe, but I'm not 100% sure.

But maybe you can include 2 Dollars for postage.

[lisa98]

In UK money or USA money?

[Lantash]

They don't have any UK notes smaller than 5 Pounds. And seeing how often Rob is in the US, I would say US dollars are okay. But Rob takes a very long time to reply now.

[lisa98]

Should I send 2 international RC if I'm sending Rob from Michigan to his UK address.
Thanks

[Lantash]

What are the size of the letter to you planing to send?

If you only send 1 4x6 inch picture, one IRC shoud be okay. If you send more than one small picture, I would send 2 just to be on the safe side.

If you're planing on sending 8x10 inch pictures, I would send at least two, maybe three.

[lisa98]

Thanks that will help alooooot

[lisa98]

Sorry but I have one more Q is it okay if I sent a picture that is lessed than 4x6?
Thx

[Lantash]

You can send any size you want.
