IRC REDEMPTION INSTRUCTIONS-FOR POSTAL WORKER
« on: November 19, 2013, 01:27:47 PM »

This may not be the right forum but I figured most of the DX'ers here have IRC's to cash.


Jim WB2REM took these notes whilst cashing in his IRC's yesterday

STEPS
 
1.Tell them PUSH STAMPS
 
2. Then EXCHANGE
 
3. Then REDEEM FOREIGN IRC'S
 
4. Put Price in $1.10
 
5. SCAN BACK OF OVERSEAS AIRMAIL STAMP
 
6. Change Quantity to 1 (0ne)
 
7. Stamp right side of IRC
 
Then do next one. They can only be done one at a time.
 
 
Hope this helps. I would print this and take it to the post office with you.
 
Jim

Thank you, Jim! I still have about 10 IRC's to redeem before the end of the year.

So will they give us a forever stamp, or simply $1.10? POstage is going up in January.

I received airmail "forever" stamps, one per IRC.

If you have unused IRCs bought in the US, they can be
redeemed for cash, the amount paid, less a token amount.

These rules can be found at the USPS website.

N1UK's list of steps for a counter hand is great, my local PO claimed to have never heard of or seen them before.
Here is the link to the instructions etc for redemption/cashing of IRCs both from abroad and ones you bought that you might want to cash in before expiry 12/31/13, see section 381.2

Likely advantageous to print out this stuff and take it with you, good luck ;D

They can actually do more than one at a time, just have them enter the total $ amount for the number of irc's you have, then have them scan the stamp barcode and then enter in the number of irc's you gave them...hit enter and the total "zero's" out for no money due...!
