[Dx-qsl] USPS International Mail Manual and recent USPS Postal Bulletins re: IRCs

Wed Nov 22 11:21:59 EST 2006

Hi!
After receiving a few direct queries on this topic, I'll post 
this to the list so that others may have the information I am
sending out to some list members directly. 
The USPS International Mail Manual, which covers a lot more than
just IRCs, is at:
http://pe.usps.gov/text/Imm/welcome.htm
Specifically for the section with IRCs:
http://pe.usps.gov/text/Imm/immc3_007.html#tuLZq11wats
Scroll down to the section "372 International Reply Coupons".
If you also want the postal bulletin that announced the latest
change in IRC redemption policy, I have that extract at:
http://www.geocities.com/va7ewk/usps/
Look for the file which has the file name starting with 20061109 
for that. The other file at that location instructed post offices
not to sell the IRCs expiring in 2006 after 1 September 2006. 
Again, those PDFs are on free Geocities web space - e-mail me 
directly if you have difficulties in accessing that link. 
USPS Postal Bulletins, which are issued every 2 weeks, are 
available in PDF and HTML formats from:
http://www.usps.com/cpim/ftp/bulletin/pb.htm
73!
