HOW MUCH DOES AN IRC COSTS IN UK QUIDS?

the title said it all

Edited after seeing your other posts.

Each IRC has a redemption value of £0.88p in the UK. You will need lots of IRC's for an item that heavy.

Maybe you could obtain paper UK currency through a bank or travel agent? It would probably work out cheaper.

In the UK we have £5, £10 and £20 notes.

I don't believe this, since UK's postal office is still a member of Postal Union.
Must look into it more carefully, but I am almost sure that this is not true.

How can you say you don't believe this after a BRITISH person told you
So? Why would they lie?

Why is this in the Feedback section?

Because the op asked the question here that's why
Is it such a big deal?
Do you have a problem with that?

All right you lousy mugs - cut the bellyachin'. This is your Aunt Sadie from Jersey City. It seems like you can dish it out but you can't take it no more.

In the UK we cannot go into a PO and buy IRC's any more.

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.

Kimmylee, as always a superb and detailed response. It's not your fault if the OP doesn't understand how to say please, thank you or figure out what a feedback forum is for. As for the other two extraneous posters in this thread, I wonder when they'll just give up. I don't understand why people just come on to troll... it really does say a lot about their own lives.
