that's really weird that your post offices told you that!

If you're sending from Canada to the US, you need Canadian Stamps.

You could try to use a SAE with $2 USD in it for postage costs.. just a suggestion.

Uh, I think you're mistaken as there is no such thing! There are no stamps sold here that can act as USA stamps. They need to use IRCs or get USA stamps from the USA.

no offense taken buddy ,but its wierd thou when you think about how this works because ive always gotten my letters back without a problem theirs never been postage due or none of those issues, their have been a couple times when a celebs added a extra stamp. but in all fairness not to sound stupid(because really im not) i dont have a clue about this because the people working at the post office have told me ya its ok to do.

I am 100% sure there is no such thing as that stamp as i've asked before about such things and the lady there said you MUST have an IRC. Canada and the US do not have a business agreement between they're postal services. You MUST have Canadian stamps on your SASE to send to the USA, and US stamps to send to Canada.

Canada Post says nothing about this stamp.

The post offices in each country would need to have an agreement with each other allowing them to sell the stamps and therefore make a profit off their postal services. Seeing as how the Canadian postal service is always in debt i can't see them doing that at all.

Could the "Canadian International Stamp" BE an IRC? The description given sounds like one. Or are you actually sticking it to your SASE?

like i already mentioned i dont know the exact name of what i use its a stamp thats it and its proper postage thats all i know.

and i guess ill just stick to whatever im using when i send even thou i dont know the name of it, because it works as valid postage and thats all that matters. again im not trying to offend any of you guys but sorry if i am. because i know your just trying to be helpfull and i apreciate the help.
