This is the address suggested by the club when I contacted them, although it does come down to the individual players to respond (Cech did for me)

The players generally only attend the ground for games, where as they are at the training ground daily.

The address as advised by Chelsea is:

Chelsea Football Club Academy
Cobham Training Ground
64 Stoke Road
Stoke D’Abernon
KT11 3PT

Not sure I get your point... it would be something of a fallacy to suggest just because you got a response from someone two weeks ago, and they used your IRC to send signed items back, that this is always the case. They're not going to pay to send the items back to you just because they are not signed for whatever reason.

I think you will find they didn't "keep" your IRC, they used it to pay to return your items. Disappointing yes, but you have to expect this to happen when collecting autographs from time to time.

Absolutely right. They had two options, send nothing back to you and you lose your cards or use your IRC to at least send your cards back, albeit unsigned. Out of the two options, the latter is the better one I guess.
