I just got back from Ireland. Because of my schedule, I was unable to get my value added tax refund at the airport in Ireland. However, the envelope I'd been given said that I could and should get them stamped by a customs agent in my own country and then send for the refund by mail. However, once I returned to the U.S., the customs agent said, "We don't do that; we haven't for about ten years."
Has anyone gone through this recently? What is the best way to get a value added tax refund after returning to the U.S.?
This refund is about thirty Euros, nothing to sneeze at!
