The month/year that vendor information was most recently fully verified is

Every entry should contain a valid postal address or web page address.

Unless explicitly requested by the vendor, no entries will include an email
address due to the overwhelming amount of spam that would result.

The following is from http://www.upu.int/irc/en/ (2004.03.27)

When one writes to a stranger and requests a reply, it is considered polite
to enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope.  This works well when both
persons live in the same country.  However, if they are from different
countries, the enclosed postage stamp will not be valid.

This technical problem was solved in 1906 when the Universal Postal Union,
during its Congress in Rome, introduced the International Reply Coupon
service.  International Reply Coupons (IRC) are exchangeable in all member
countries for the minimum postage of a priority item or an unregistered
airmail letter sent to a foreign country.

The UPU's International Bureau processes approximately six million coupons
each year and takes care of all accounting aspects.  Developed countries are
the largest users.  The International Bureau does not sell ICRs directly to
customers; they must buy them from their local post office.  Although they
are not obliged to sell ICRs, it is mandatory for all Posts of the UPU member
countries to exchange the coupons.
