IRC

Hi Lucas42

Don't even think about complaining about the price of an IRC here in Australia, as they're way more expensive in Canada :x

Here's a rough comparison of IRC costs when both the Australian and Canadian dollar is converted into US currency:

USA - US$1.75/IRC
Australia - US$1.85/IRC ($2.50 in Australian dollars)
Canada - US$3.00/IRC ($3.50 in Canadian dollars!!!)

Canadians are almost paying double what we're paying here! It's outragious . There are probably other countries where their postal service are also charging ridiculous prices :o

You are absolutely right..us Canadians pay $3.50 CND for 1 IRC. Its utterly ridiculous!! We spend almost $10.00 each time we need to send to the UK because of the cost of IRCs. About 2 IRCs, which is about $7.00 plus $3.49 for stamps to the UK. For the USA its a tad cheaper, but luckily if we wanted we can buy USA stamps off the internet.

Thought I would share that since you were all talking about how outrageous the prices are!! Its unbelievable, but if you think about it, it does make sense as each currency is worth different. Has to do with those darn stocks! LOL

I think I remember reading somewhere that an IRC in the UK costs 60p. So, if my conversions are correct (I'm not 100% familiar with the British Pound,) the approximate IRC costs should be as follows:

US - US$1.75
Australia - US$1.85
Canada - US$3.00
UK - US$1.06

If the conversions are correct, you can get your IRC's much cheaper in the UK than in Australia, and almost 3 times compared to Canada. Maybe I should move to the UK to take advantage of cheaper IRC's . It's a bit unfair that some countries can pay much less for IRC's than others! And I thought IRC's in Australia were expensive enough! Can someone confirm if the UK IRC price and conversion to US currency is correct?

I have no idea if that is right, but either way it's way to much!
