If australia post sold them online and cheaper, would make things more convieniant and alot cheaper.......$2.50 per IRC plus $1.85 stamp and 2 envelopes makes this a very expensive hobby....especially if they come back RTS and have post marked the stamps
Bring on an online service!!!
Wow spannna, I've never had to have them order them in for me. I've bought IRC's from 3 different post offices here and they've always had them in stock (once, the staff member had to go to the back and get a new stack of them because she didn't have enough of them with her at the counter.)
I don't know which post offices you go to, but everyone I've bought IRC's from has known exactly what they are and where to stamp them. I don't have to remind them. The only response I get is that they don't sell too many of them or haven't sold them in a while, and that they have to do a search on the computer to find the right code to enter the purchase in the comptuer.
IRC's are very expensive to send out here, especially since you have to factor in the cost of postage to the relevant celebrity and envelopes etc. It adds up, so usually I only can send out 5 or so requests at one time over a period of time. I've got a few requests out there at the moment, but if the celebrities I want to write to were here in Australia, it would make it much easier and cheaper...
