I am sending overseas, and I don't have any AIRMAIL stickers. I can't go to the post office right now so can I just write on the envelope AIR MAIL? What can I do to make sure it gets to its destination.
I'm from South Africa so I send overseas all the time. My postoffice always give me airmail stickers and they're free. {thumb2} I've received letters from USA and UK where the celebrity handwrote AIRMAIL on the envelope, so you can just write "airmail" on your envelopes! I believe most mail are airmail, if it says airmail on the envelope or not. So your letters will most likely be airmail anyways!
I've sent a bunch overseas and never placed Airmail stickers on my envelopes. If the P.O. does after I hand it to them, I have no idea. I've also received a bunch back without Airmail stickers as well.
Yeah you can just write "Air Mail" on the envelope and that works fine. or You can go to your local post office and pick up the air mail stickers for free. I went in one day and asked if I could get some and the lady said sure! So she reached in her desk and pulled out 120 stickers and handed them to me!! I quess I'm set for awhile LOL!
I just write "Airmail" on my letters and I have had successes from that. I also have some airmail envelopes that I bought at Wal-Mart that I use from time to time.
