International reply coupons

Formerly you could include one or more International Reply Coupons in letters you send to places outside of the United States, doing so to cover the cost of return postage for those answering you. You previously could obtain International Reply Coupons at your post office.

However, as of January 27, 2013, the U.S. Postal Service no longer sells international reply coupons." (See section 381.1 on page 163 of "Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (May 7, 2018)," available at https://pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals/imm/full/imm.pdf.)

Consider using, instead, an international bank draft. Ruesch International bank drafts are an easy and inexpensive way to send money from North America to Europe and other international locations. Place a telephone call to Ruesch International Financial Services at 800-424-2923. Ask for an international bank draft for the equivalent of the amount in Euros or the other local currency. There is a service charge. Have the check made payable to the organization or individual whom you want to receive it. Ruesch will give you a transaction number to write on your payment check. Send the payment to:

Ruesch International Financial Services

700 11th Street NW

Washington, D.C. 20001-4507

When Ruesch receives your payment, it will promptly send you a foreign currency draft (check) that you can mail to Europe and other international locations outside of the United States.
