Alright, first off I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section of the forum. I think it needs to be mentioned that I'm not particularly educated in anything that deals with common sense.

I'm thinking about mailing a letter internationally and just want to know how I will have to go about this process. I'm competent enough to actually get a stamp on the letter and do the the fun stuff on the envelope itself, but I'm currently confused as to where to go to next. I mean, in terms of shipping rates. I'm in New Jersey right now and I'm thinking about mailing something to England. I just want to know how much it would cost to send a letter and what the shipping rates may be, also in terms of the amount of time it would take to get there. I plan on using USPS and even browsed the website but really didn't find anything concrete that answered my question directly. Chances are that I'm just not looking hard enough, and that's probably the case.

I know this is a stupid question and asking it in of all forums, but I just really want to know.
