IRC Availability in the United States
If a post office in the United States does not offer IRCs for sale, direct
the postal clerk to Section 372 of the International Mail Manual, Issue 33,
dated 06/23/2006, Sub-section 372.2 which clearly states, "Reply coupons may
be requisitioned by Post Office facilities in the same manner as postage
stamps. The coupons should be stocked at Post Office facilities that have a
demand for them."

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.

Perhaps the Post Office will someday allow us to
purchase the IRC on their website and print them
on our own printers, just like click and ship postage.

Naw, that would be too easy !

I don't buy many, using GS instead but when I do, I usually get them
from a QSL manager (like KU9C) for a lot less than the P.O. price.
