I have a question about International Reply Coupons. Since I live in The Netherlands, I can't buy them anymore, since they stopped selling them here 8 years ago or something. Is there a possibility to purchase those coupons online? Because you probably have a lot more chance to get something back with those coupons, right?

Thanks in advance!

You can always try e-bay (but make sure you buy valid ones and not some old collector items) or exchange them here.

Even better than IRCs are stamps. May I ask what country are you planning to send to?

^I guess stamps will be even harder to purchase right?

I'm not sure yet, but probably Great Brittain, France and USA

Obtaining the stamps for the countries you mentioned may be easier than you think. These links are from the selling/trading forum on this site.

US stamps:

French stamps--I have not seen anyone selling them, but perhaps the person who started this thread may be able to help you:

Stamps are better to use, I do not think they are more difficult to get. Just make sure you buy from a good (honest) seller when you buy.

US doesn't accept IRC's anymore..

Says who..?

RobertaRight is, appropriately, quite right. The US have not stopped accepting or selling IRCs.

Thanks for the great advises, going to see if I can buy some stamps! Thanks!

I can be wrong, sometimes I just know how it is. At my local post office they do not even know what IRC is. I once used it for paying postage and the lady looked shocked, as she has never seen one before. One must check more sources

Stamps are better, good luck
