But..its my little sisters birthday coming up. and shes a massive fan of Twilight. So i would love to get her Peter Facinelli's autograph. However, i live in the uk..and all his addy's are in America.

What do i need to include to send to America. Ive heard alot of people talking about IRC's ..but im not sure what they are. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! xx

Hello.
The IRC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_reply_coupon) is a coupon that can be exchanged for one or more postage stamps representing the minimum postage for an unregistered priority airmail letter of up to twenty grams sent to another Universal Postal Union (UPU) member country(USA, UK...)
You can buy them in the post office and they cost more than a normal stamp.
You can include the letter, of course, a photo to be signed, a SAE( an envelope with the sender's name and address on it) and the IRCs.

Hiya Ki Owen,

Diora has explained the process to you very well - but feel free to post any more questions you may have.

Good luck with your request, really hope you are successful! {thumb2}

Thanks for your help. That's great.
Just one more question..so..if I include an IRC..do i need to put a stamp on the SAE? or not?

[Diora]

No, you don't need it. With the IRC they can get stamps free.
I mean, you include IRCs or stamps of the foreign country. Both no.

[Ki Owen]

Thats great. Thanks

[Ki Owen]

welll..i sent my letter today! so fingers crossed !

the post office only had 2 IRCs though..i wanted more than that so i could send a few letters

[Diora]

Good luck!!!
Yeah, it's difficult to find IRC and they are expensive.haha

[Ki Owen]

thanksss

they really are! cost nearly £3 each to send to Peter Facinelli and Rob Pattinson, but hopefully will be worth it!!
