I've tried and failed to get IRC where I live, (a big town with three very big post offices in easy travelling distance). I imagine they are a pain in the bottom for celebs to use as well, having to queue up in a post office to send a letter back, apart from being a very expensive way of buying postage for the person paying for it. Although they do seem to work if you can get them.
If you know anyone who's going to the States, you could slip them a few quid and ask them to pick up some Forever stamps while they're there. They work like our unpriced 1st and 2nd class stamps, if the prices go up their value goes up as well. The friend I collared to get some for me picked them up in a little corner shop, just like they sell books of stamps in the UK, so no-one should have to go out of their way to find them.
Or talk someone into buying IRCs online for you?
