I can't be arsed with the post office - anyone know if 2-3 first class stamps will cover it?

No I don't think it would. If you've got sensitive kitchen scales weigh it on that then look up the royal mail charges online. Thats what I do sometimes.

Go to Royal Mail click and drop.
It is quite simple to enter the size/weight of your item, the destination address etc and then to pay securely and print a label to stick on for the post.
I regularly post letters to the USA using this system, a 'normal' letter costs £1.70.
That's for a regular sized item up to 20g, IIRC.

I send Christmas, Father's Day - and Birthday cards each year. The latter will contain two cards. They are not super big.
The last ones I sent cost £2.55, so no, two first class stamps would not be enough.
They can take a week to get there, Air Mail.

Interestingly, costs about Can$2.55 for card from there to here, so much cheaper.

Info should be on the post office website.

OK, so I weighed my card and it's 20g and it costs £1.70 to Canada. First class stamps are 85p, So I can just use 2 stamps, can't I? I have actually four and I don't mind overpaying if it'll get there. I just don't want to go to the post office just for this. I also don't have a working printer!

Why is this so hard for me? I've forgotten how to send a card abroad! Grin
