Do i need a stamp for royal mail santa letter
What a fun question!
According to Royal Mail's guidelines, you don't need a stamp to send a letter to Santa Claus through their Special Delivery service. However, you do need to follow some specific guidelines to ensure your letter reaches the North Pole:
- Use a special Santa letter postmark: Royal Mail offers a special Santa letter postmark at selected post offices. You can find a list of participating post offices on the Royal Mail website. If you can't find a participating post office, you can still send your letter, but it won't have the special postmark.
- Use a standard letter size and format: Make sure your letter is written on standard A4 or A5 paper, and is no larger than 240mm x 165mm (9.5 inches x 6.5 inches).
- Include a return address: Write your name and address on the envelope so that Santa can respond to your letter.
- Send your letter by December 10th: Royal Mail recommends sending your letter by December 10th to ensure it reaches the North Pole in time for Santa's busy season.
As for the stamp, you can use a standard first-class stamp or a special Santa-themed stamp, if available. If you're sending your letter from a post office, the staff will help you with the correct postage.
Remember to be patient and allow plenty of time for your letter to reach the North Pole. Santa's elves work hard to respond to all the letters they receive, but it may take a few weeks for your response to arrive.
