To anyone reading this, don't count on your recipient being able to redeem any IRCs you may have stockpiled. The USPS these days is not so much an entity as it is an umbrella over a group of individuals, none of whom seem to have the same training but insist that theirs is the right way.
While the USPS website may say that they can be redeemed, the website doesn't work the counter--individual employees do. And the odds are that they've never heard of or seen these coupons before & will refuse the person attempting to redeem them. You find plenty of examples of that on this forum & even more on the web at large.
The "official word" is useless when dealing with these people & I wish
admin wouldn't mislead members by posting it as though it holds meaning.
