I've tried to buy IRC's (International Reply Coupons) at the local P.O.,
even though they have them, they won't sell them! Their screen says: "Not
For Sale" when they are scanned.
This has happened at the main Helena, MT P.O. and Tuesday at the Missoula,
MT P.O.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? BTW, these are the new ones good
until 2009.

Tell them to look at

Postal Bulletin 22184 (7-6-06, page 28).

and

Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail
Manual (IMM®) part 372 and Publication 51, International Postal Rates and
Fees


IRCs are part of that and tell them your next step is to contact the US
Postmaster and ask him why the local postoffice wont comply and carry IRCs.
I did that and now they are available all the time.
