mailing an envelope to the US

I know this shound's like a newbie question but I have never done it so I need help.On another message board I'm on there's a guy that needs instruction's for builing a model car which I build as a hobby and I want to send it to him.The instruction's fit in a regular envelope but I need to which stamp to put on it.Is it just those regular 10 cent stamps or is it others?

10 cent stamps? Theyve gone up quite a bit from that, its like 70 some cents I think to send to the US. Just go to the post office and ask for one stamp to the US, they'll set you up proper.

step one: go to post office

Step 2: ask them to weigh the letter and tell you how much it's going to cost to send it to the states

Step 3: pay the postage they'll hand you the stamps

Step 4: lick the stamps and apply to the envelope

Step 5: drop envelope in mail box

Step 6: exit post office

Step 7: jump for joy you've just mailed your first letter

Step 8: Run

Step 9: Run faster

Step 10: Run like you were Ben Johnston on steriods doing the 100

Why run? you never know when someone will go postal. do not forget any of these steps

you dont need to go to the post office unless it exceeds a certain weight. But i imagine that the instructions aren't heavier than a regular piece of mail (like bills or something). I think its like 32 grams is the limit but dont quote me on that.

If it's lighter than that just go to any store that sells stamps and just buy 1 80cent stamp. (they might be peeved that you're only buying one buy who gives a damn)

And then just drop it in any mailbox.



But if you're unsure of the weight thing the only post office i know in the area is St. Clair/Bathurst southside next to the Subway restaurant.
