Where/How to send FanMails
First let me give credit where credit is due...thanks to David Archuleta FanBlast for all the information of David's mailing address and procedures that you are all going to see on this discussion. So here we go...
FOR US AND INTERNATIONAL FANS:
The best advice we can give is to visit your local postal center or post office before mailing anything to David.
Official mailing address:
David Archuleta
c/o Azoff Music Mgmt
1100 Glendon Ave. Suite 2000
Los Angeles, CA
90025-3524
STANDARD FAN MAIL ETIQUETTE:
# Be polite and courteous.
# Keep your letters short and to the point.
# Mention something that you admire about David, his music, appearances, etc.
# Personalize it! Talk about when you met him at the Meet & Greet or about your family, pet, school, etc.
# Ask for exactly what you want: If you are asking for an autograph or if you want to wish him an early birthday!
# Check your spelling and grammar.
Always double and triple-check the address you wrote on the envelope before you stamp it.
ASKING DAVID FOR AN AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO (simple is key):
We suggest that you find your favorite photo of him, find an envelope that it will fit in, flat cardboard to protect it and a larger-sized envelope to hold all of this.
Write out your address on the return envelope that will contain the photo after David signs it along with the correct amount of postage. You might want to visit your local post office so you do this right the first time.
# This way David will open your envelope, read your short letter, sign the photo, slip it back into the self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) you provided and his staff will turn around and mail it back to you.
**Be prepared to wait up to 6 months for a reply. This is pretty standard in the fan world.
PACKAGES AND PARCELS (Birthday gifts, CDs, DVDs, etc.):
Please consider every detail when sending parcels or packages to David. T-shirts over stuffed animals, small items instead of bulky, etc. NO perishables (flowers, food items, or anything that will spoil over time) should be sent through the mail.
SECURITY:
Due to international security concerns, sending David a box or package will probably be the most difficult way to reach him. There is a good chance that many people will handle the contents in a box or package before it even gets to David.
Please understand that anything (other than a photo) that is sealed, taped, glued, boxed or contained will be opened by mailroom and/or security staff, going through three or four steps before David even sees it. This may hold your package up for weeks!
Make sure you include a return address on your package or it will not even make it past security. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we suggest that you start with something simple, especially if this is your first time! Keep it down to a letter with a small photo book, CD, keychain, etc.
Bulky items, like a t-shirt, cap or anything that will not fit in a standard-sized envelope may not work out for the best.
Okay...that's all there is to it...hope this answers all your mailing questions.
NOTE: (My personal view)
There are those who would wish to send David T-shirts, sweatshirts, stuff toys etc. but we all know that he has probably tons of them coming in from all over ..We know that David truly appreciates every single thing he receives from his fans..It is best that you just give to any of the causes of which he strongly supports..i.e. Angels for a Cause, Crush MS, Rising Star Outreach, Invisible Children, DoSomething.Org....to name a few...
Requiring a SASE for INTERNATIONAL FANS will be a different story...so this is what i found out...If you are mailing within your own country you can use standard stamps, but if you are mailing overseas you must use IRC's (International Reply Coupons) - a voucher obtainable from the post office to prepay the return postage of an item from abroad. Prices very from country to country, and not all post offices sell them, so you might have to shop-around a bit. Again..CHECK W/ YOUR LOCAL POSTAL CENTER BEFORE MAILING ANYTHING)
Your IRCs should be put inside your SAE, or paperclipped to the front of it.
HAPPY MAILING!!! :D
