How much does it cost to send a letter to the usa from the uk?

Question

can i just use 1 first class stamp, or is it more?

Answer 1

Take it to the post office. The cost is dependent upon its weight, size and method of delivery./

Answer 2

It depends on the shape and size of the envelope you are sending and exactly what it weighs. It could be 90 cents or it could be $10.40, or amywhere in between!

If you are sending a regular greeting card with nothing else in it or a regular letter envelope with just a few pages in it, it is 90 cents.

So, it depends what value your stamps are. Combine any stamps you have to equal 90 cents or more. If you have the most current stamps, it will take 3 (three), but then you are overpaying. The current stamp is worth 41 cents, so you will need three.

If your letter is heavier, or is an odd shape like those square envelopes, it will cost more for special handling.
