Description:

This swap is for those of us that have a stash of lovely postcards that we send out - but we look at some of them and think "I'd love to have that one written and stamped for my collection"! I love collecting naked and stamped postcards, empty ones just don't do much for me.

( For those waiting on me to host more of these, sorry about not hosting any through winter, I had some health and family issues but am now back and slowly getting into swapping again! )

So, two steps---

  1. Pick out two cards from your unwritten stash that you'd love to have someone send you written and stamped. Send each partner a postcard in an envie - make sure you include a note to say what swap this is for! You can even go ahead and put your name and address on it if you'd like - and even include postage IF YOU WANT (not required) but in case you want a certain stamp from your collection or something.
    
  2. Once you receive the postcard from your partner, then write something interesting on the back, stamp it, and send it back to them!

Rating---

Since this is done out of the norm, the rating will come when you send your postcard in an envie to your partner and they receive it.

Getting it back written on will be done on the honor system. It would be great if when you receive your postcard back you could go to their profile and let them know you've received it - you can also let us know here you received it in a note on the swap if you'd rather!

Rules---

Due to the nature of this swap, I will only accept swappers with a 4.9 rating (NO 1's at ALL for any reason - sorry) - no newbies this time, sorry. I want to lessen the chance of flaking with the more in depth rules this requires. Newbie to me is someone that has no ratings yet, and has only a handful of swaps under their belt.

I just joined, but I admit I'm REALLY worried I won't get my precious postcards back... Does everything normally go well?

This is the 7th time we've done it and I can't remember people not getting their cards. My memory is terrible but honestly, due to the high rating I only allow in...we just haven't had that issue yet. Not to say it wouldn't happen, but so far so good! If you want to 'test the water' so to say, why don't you send postcards that you are ok with not getting back, and see if you get them. then maybe when I run this next month, you can join with more faith in it?

I've tried to reason with badandknowsit, she sent to my mail forwarding address, they wanted to charge me about $25-30 for Fedex delivery to my home in the UK, they have since binned the envelope along with a few amazon items which would cost even more to have delivered, I've sent an email to the admin, this member has not yet answered any of my messages, I've sent detailed emails about this swap, I wish for this member to communicate with me.

i sent it to the address swap bot provided me how did i know to send it somewhere else. I sent my cards out expecting them returned just like i did both partners I had. Wonders what his other partner thinks about this.
