Hello, Could someone please advise me how much it would cost to post a standard sized letter from the UK to Australia - via airmail? I'm embarking on a search for a relative and wish to put a stamped, self addressed envelope in each letter I send. Thanks, Kylie

Kylie - I should know but can't remember! If you look at the Royal Mail website, it should give rates for domestic and international mail!

Researching:
Gloucestershire, Dorset, Hampshire, Derbyshire, London, Lithuania, Russia

Thanks Kylie. I am in Perth too!! Thanks for the offer of stamps, but I think I'm ok. :) However I'll keep you in mind if I can't get what I need. Thanks again.

Just a thought: have you tried to buy International Reply Coupons (IRC) from you local post office (Believe most countries sell these) - inclose one instead of a Stamped Address Envelope (SAE). When anybody replies to you - they take the letter with the IRC to their local post office - where the staff should give you stamps for the IRC. Remembering that the weight of each letter, has a bearing on the cost - (the heavier - the costlier) Hope this makes sense. Liz
