Hi Truly_Delicious,
I have only ever purchased mine from a post office. However, I have checked Royal Mails website, and it only states about purchasing from the PO, ( information can be found
here ) so I would guess they do not sell them online, as printing them would be tricky, as they have the holographic little image on them.
Sorry its not positive news.
Best wishes
Stuart

Hi Truly_Delicious
I do not believe you can purchase IRC's online. You will have to go to your post office for them.
You can buy stamps from other countries online for your SAE, so you could use them instead of using IRC's.

I can't find a place around here that sells IRC's.
Not even the post office. People look at me like I am stupid when I ask for them.

I have the same problem with IRCs, I bought 8 (all they had) from the post office in one go, and they don;t stock them any more- I was the first person to buy them.
Now I buy US stamps off the US Postal Store website, as you can get about 20 for £14, which is 20 letters for me and cheaper, not to mention easier, than IRCs.
To other countries, I take the chance of just and SAE, and the success rate is lower, about 25%, but this may vary - it may be the people I've sent to.

I'm having the same problem with buying IRCs... So I'm trying to go to Royal Mail to buy British postage... It looks like you can buy British postage and then print it onto your envelope, but I haven't committed to doing so, because I started to place the order, and as I went through the process, this came up:
Use Online Postage to buy and print postage straight
onto envelopes, labels or plain paper.
You are printing postage for: USA
Airmail Letters at: £10.14
Send no later than end of: 04.07.07
...and today is July 2nd...
So any postage I buy and print online has to be used within 2 business days?? (Am I interpreting this incorrectly?)

So far, I have not had any trouble purchasing IRC's. If anyone wants to trade stamps or photos or something for IRC's, please PM me and we will work something out.
Thanks
