Overseas Postage?

I'm thinking about joining a penpal service as I have recently stumbled across Letternet (www.letternet.de). I was just wondering if I could just mail letters to penpals like I would any other letter, or would I have to have additional postage?

    It costs more. The same 1ox. for 39 cents US is 63 cents to Canada and 89 to some other places. You can see all the specific rates at: http://www.usps.com/

    If you are sending letter via the postal service, each foreign country has postage that is more than sending a letter within the U.S. And depending on which country, the rates will be different. Also depending on which country, you should send it air mail, which cost even more, but if you don't send it air mail it can take months to get there. I have written to overseas penpals for over 35 years.

    When I send letters from the US to England, it is 80cents. That was before the recent increase, so it may now be 82cents.

    You would need additional postage, but it's not that much more.
