Stamps and letters..

Hi.

Quick question, I've got an A4 envelope I'm sending home - I've gone and bought a pack of 1st class stamps without thinking about the size of the envelopes I had at home.

Do I HAVE to have a large letter stamp, or can I use two 1st class stamps? Or can I just use one stamp and see what happens!?

Thanks.

My motto is to see what happens

2 1st class will do

putting one on 'might' result in whoevers recieving it having to pay about a quid to do so

You can actually do both, but not enough will result in the letter being held by Royal Mail. But aye, I pretty much have to use more than a First Class stamp these days. Doing so for birthday cards has become slightly annoying. :/

Well I'm staying in Bournemouth for summer, and have a lot of bank letters etc being sent to my home address.

I'm sending an A4 envelope with 2 * addressed A4 envelopes, 4 * 1st class stamps, a fathers day and birthday card for my dad.

Lets hope it's not too thick either.. :/

Is the b'day card A4?

If not, fold the letters & other envelopes to fit the size of the card and stick **** loads of stamps on it.

Otherwise, take it all to the PO to be sure.

Nah B'day card is smaller, I've folded everything up, but it's all inside the A4 envelope.

I've stuck two first class on it, if that doesn't cover it - I guess my dad will be paying for his card!
