(courtesy M0URX) It is becoming increasingly clear that many Post Offices around the World are stopping selling International Reply Coupons due to falling demand, probably down to systems like PayPal. In the UK and USA it is now not possible to buy IRC's. Here in the UK it is unclear how long IRC's will be redeemed at the PO. Clearly this brings the UK Post Office in breach of its terms with the Universal Postal Union, so expect further developments in the near future as IRC's are withdrawn.

Always check with the QSL manager if he is able to accept IRC's. Look on QRZ.com profiles for this information.
