It is good to be equipped with the rules: http://pe.usps.gov/text/imm/immc3_007.html#npLZq39wats
I took some IRCs to the post office today, and they first tried to tell me I had to have something to mail. I showed them the rules that state they can be exchanged for postage stamps. The next problem was they say since the IRCs were not purchased this year, they have to look up the rules for the year when the IRCs were purchased. They think the IRCs are only good for the postage amount calculated in the year purchased. They are checking this and will call me. I have a note from them stating that I brought the IRCs in today. In reading the rules, (see Section 372.3 a) it says that unused US coupons may be exchanged only for US postage stamps by the original purchaser at a discount of 1 cent below the purchase price. I have a mix of US and foreign IRCs. I did not point out the above rule, but I expect they might stumble across it. Have others had exchange of US purchased IRCs turned down because they were not the original purchaser? My US IRCs are from various US cities. 73, Paul Ferguson ---------------------------------------------------------- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.
