I have found that a S.A.E. along with $2 does the trick most of the time. I
use the DX envelopes at www.w4mpy.com, the return envelope fits inside the
outer envelope without having to fold it.

Tttt. I send over 250 dxcc direct with a SAE and $1 (sometimes $2 for a few
DX). I received back 100% of QSL.
Even in Russia. I sent many GS plus IRC for an award. It happened that the
address was false. Months later the USSR Post office sent me back all I
sent. Nothing was stolen.
Up to now QSLing direct, even including GS is the most secure and fastest
way to get your QSL back.
There are rumors about theft, etc, but in practice I do not know any people
having experienced such problems.

Hi,

Some countries can't take us currency so
be sure to check first.

There are a few out there that will keep
your stamped envelope but that happens.

Don't put the callsign on the envelopes,
just the name and address.

If you are an ARRL member,
or member of other orgs (google on buro qsl)

you can use the bureau to qsl.

Takes some time.

It varies from country to country.

IRCs are generally your safest bet.
