But you are asking about using them for return postage (from UK to Romania), which you correctly state is mandatory under the UPU rules- Post Office's are not obliged to sell them but they are obliged to redeem them which is what you are needing.

Each IRC's redemption is worth the current minimum worldwide airmail letter value. This is £0.88p here in the UK.

Therefore when you exchange an IRC in the UK for return international postage each one is worth £0.88p.
I suggested paper currency might work out cheaper because you would need lots of IRC's for the item you are wanting returned to you.
If you still think I am giving out the wrong information then Royal Mail (UK post office) are on Twitter and are very good about answering questions. Just ask them the redemption value of an IRC if you don't believe me.
Thank god for this reply. A very clear and detailed one, I say.
So, an UPU (or IRC) is valued at £0.88p in UK.
For all the others who tried to reply anything else, I wasn't asking from where or if I can buy from UK, I was asking HOW MUCH.
Don't start a squabble for this... move this topic anywhere. Thanks to google bot, anyone can find the answer to this question.
Much obliged, Kimmylee. Your knowledge is precious (that change of your first reply was kind of sneaky).
