    then give it a try to find some here in HK
    There are 1-2 threads about stamp collecting in HK,
    there is a building full of vendors, near Mongkok,
    in the thread you will find descriptions how to get to that place.
    Or check out what HK Post sells

    I just checked sumting for you and have good news.

    The U.S. stamps of 1861, and all issued since then, continue to be valid on mail.

    You don't have a friend in the U.S to post you the stamps?

    @jimbo I want to try and avoid that

    I went to GPO and found this
    Hongkong Post Stamps - Mainland & Overseas Stamps - Latest Sales Programmes - Sale of Overseas Philatelic Products on 22 September 2016

    the one at the bottom. However, the staff was not sure if these can be actually used in the US. She said they might be only for collection, can that be the case? the stamps did not have the denomination written on them too

    also my post would need around 12us$ postage and these stamps were 2.4$ each so I would have to paste 20 stamps on the letter, would'n tit look odd?

    thanks!

    There are no stamps for collectors but not for use.
    See post 17

    The trucks are 47 cents stamps

    I'd expect the staff to be better informed about this!

    thanks Morrison
