How much would it cost to mail a birthday card to England from the United States?

The USPS website is freaking confusing. Please help? Just a simple birthday/Christmas card... how much would it cost?

How much would it cost to mail a birthday card to England from the United States?
Great question because I just checked this at the post office to send a Christmas card.





International First Class Airmail (probably 4-5 days):


1 ounce and under (a typical card) is 90 cents


2 ounces and under (a big card) is $1.80





You can buy 90 cent stamps at the Post Office, or just use three 41 cent stamps. You'll be overpaying by 33 cents, but you won't have to wait in line :)))





Also the envelope should be just a regular rectangular envelope like what comes with most greeting cards. No square or other strange shapes.
Reply:Go to the web site and hit the "calculate postage" button. Then put in the size of the package, ex. envelope. Enter the zip code that you're sending it from and the area to where you're mailing it to. Good luck.
Reply:I think it's going to cost you about 90 cents to send a standard card to England from the US. If your card is square (or other odd size), they charge more (double usually), so keep that in mind.





Usually I went to the post office to have them put the postage on, rather than guess at putting regular stamps on myself. That way you're sure!





Hope that helped you!
