*Show Your Country Postcard Swap*

Newbie here from Malaysia. Feel free to add if you love to receive beautiful postcards from me. Terima kasih (thank you)

Just checking: there is just 6 days between signing up and sending? I didn't understand the reference to it running a whole month.

Perhaps that the swap was posted a month before the sign up date???

I have some nice "postage paid" postcards from Canada Post - in other words, the postage is already part of the pre-printed card, so I wouldn't be adding a stamp. Is that okay?

I have some excellent postcards, but its almost impossible to get fancy stamps... is this ok?

doublesided? where do you live that you cant find beautiful stamps? Im just curious :)

Im in Scotland, UK!

I'm in seoul , Korea

Unlike regular, 1st class postage stamps, there usually are a limited number of styles of stamps specifically for post cards. This at least is so in the USA. I don't know about other countries. A person could use a regular stamp, but then they would be spending more on postage than they would need to, especially if mailing internationally. Just a thought.

@CraftyTweetie - the USA has special postage stamps for postcards? Do you pay a different rate for postcards or something? That's interesting... in Canada we pay the same for a postcard as for a letter :)

@miahalf We pay 28 cents for a postcard being sent within the country, 98 cents for an international postcard or letter, and 44 cents for a letter within the country.

The only 28 cent stamp I've been able to find here is the polarbear.

In holland we pay the same for a postcard as for a letter. In the country its 44 euro cents, in europe 77 cents and the rest of the world is 95 cents!

We pay 79 cents to Canada or Mexico. I use a 17, a one, and a ten sometimes. I try to vary stamps. There's a couple of 3 centers out there.

here in Brazil we pay like 40cents per postcard. if you want to send by "priority" its the double of the price ;3 (this one for USA)

another countries can be more expensive letter isn't cheap. ;( only for local send that i can pay 1cent for letter (until 10g)

but i cant choose the stamps ;~the postofice lady put whatever she wants too D;

anybody know why partners haven't been assigned????

The coordinator has not been on since the 6th. I think they have up to a week before partners are assigned. Correct me if I am wrong. I am giving it until the end of today, if nothing then I am dropping. Too many other PC swaps out there. :)

I just hope she's not without power with this storm. DC area has 20+ inches with more on the way.

I stand corrected. It's 75 cents to Canada and 79 to Mexico from US. Sorry about that!

If she does not assign partners, does swap bot do it automatically? She is always late assigning partners, always takes her a couple of days.

I hope that partners will be assigned soon, the deadline to send is already coming closer.

no partners yet :(

I think it is very unfair on her part! We sign up in good faith and she keeps us hanging! She DOES NOT DERSERVE A STAR! I have better things to do than wait around! I am out of here,,,! :(

I hope that she is ok, but I am also dropping. I wish you all the best.

I'm dropping as well =/ but if someone is interested in a private postcard swap PM me!!

now what to do with those cards>!

Postcards are en route from the U.S. to my partners in Brazil and the U.K. Enjoy!
