Another one of my hobbies is Fly Fishing, which in turn leads one naturally to Fly Tying, well during the winter, typically I participate in Fly Swaps, a set number of individuals Tye a Fly for each person in the swap, and send it to the SwapMeister, who distributes one to each, and returns in an SASE. Ok, enough of the lengthy explanation...

Anyhow, quite often we have a participant in a foreign country, and these IRCs are complete garbage, if they are even accepted, many times the recipient ends up paying additional postage, or other problems. I was told it has to do with the postal service having issues collecting payment for the IRC.

Don't think anyone has ever come up with a decent solution besides, Paying the person either with currency in the mailed article, or PayPal. Definitely a PITA....
