How long does it take to send a letter from England to Australia?

Will A First Class Stamp Get A Letter From England To Western Australia?

  • Need To Send A Letter To My Friend That Moved Away But I Don't Know What Stamp I Will Need.

  • Answer:

    No. Airmail to Australia costs at least £1.10, so you'd need at least 1 first class and 2 second class stamps. Surface mail costs at least 66p so if you put a "first class large" stamp on, which costs 75p you'd be OK, but surface mail to Australia takes at least 7 weeks, compared to from 5 days for airmail. Take your letter to a post office to get it weighed, so they can tell you exactly how much you have to pay. Edit: To correct josephrob, it's not correct to say that only airmail stmps may be used, indeed I don't think Royal Mail has any stamps specifically for "airmail", it's just that the total value of the stamps must at least match the cost of the service being used. Most commemorative stamp sets include the more popular values, for example the Christmas stamp set currently being released includes stamps for the ordinary 2nd class rate, large 2nd class, ordinary 1st class, large 1st class, 68p, £1.10, and £1.65 values, so you could send your letter with just one stamp.

A first class stamp is for the UK, you need to go to the post office, get it air mailed and it will cost you much more.................... if you just put on a 1st class stamp, it may just be returned to you opened in a sealed PO bag and could cost you handling charges or delivered and your friend would have to pay the correct price plus handling chares to recieve it......................

If only , unfortunately nothing is that cheap and you will need to use the air mail service available at any post office.

only air mail stamps are accepted, and to keep the cost down, keep your envelope as light as possible,as the weight will affect the cost,go get it weighed and they will give you a price

No it will not . A letter to Austaralia ( under 10 grams ) will cost 75 pence . Suggest you post with stamps to value of £1.10 ( under 20 grams ) which is 3 no. 1st class stamps

You need to take the letter to the post office. Price is determined by the weight and size of the letter.
