isle of man postage

[allotment10]

am going to the isle of man on 16th june and wondered if anyone could help me with the postage, i have googled and know that i must buy the islands stamps to post anything over to uk but what i'm wondering is how long does it take for a first class envelope from I.O.M. to get to the uk ? ie; i have to send an important letter to uk from i.o.m. and it's got to be there for 25th june , if i post it on the 20th june will it get to uk in time? i know this might sound a bit daft but i'm not sure, any help greatfully appreciated , thanks.

Hi allotment10

I live on the Isle of Man and our post is very quick. If you post a letter ( you will need to ask for a stamp "for across") it will cost 31p. Post it it the morning and it will most likely get there the following day, a day later at the latest. I use ebay a lot and am always being praised for my quick deliveries, so we must have a really swift postal system here.

Hope you have a lovely stay. The weather is absolutely marvellous at the moment!

hi, southerngirl, thanks for your reply, we'll be staying in douglas but hope to get everywhere on the island! especially where i've been told you can see the seals really close up! cheers :-)
