Exchange, request, or offer postcards!

Welcome, please read the following instructions on exchanges

Let's trade postcards! You have the option to exchange, request or offer a postcard.

Please keep in mind that each person is spending time and money, so make sure you reciprocate.

Be descriptive in your posts. Here are some samples and the obligation rules for each type of exchange.

[Exchange] 5 from Washington DC.
Both parties are obligated to send a postcard. That means the poster is sending out 5 cards and each recipient is to send the poster one card.

Sending out a postcard with no expectation of receiving anything.

[Request Exchange] Looking for a card from Japan.
Both parties are obligated to send a postcard.

[Request Only] Looking for funny postcards.
Request postcards without the obligation to return a postcard.

You could make [Thank You] post if you want, but there's a weekly thread for that.


Communication is key to a successful exchange.

Please edit your posts in the following manner to ensure good communication. Use reddit names only.
The poster should honor the comments as received when sending out several postcards.

Sample for posting:
[Exchange] 2 from Hawaii

Bonjour toute le monde! I’m an American Peace Corps volunteer working with youth in Benin 🇧🇯, a small francophone country in West Africa. As a part of my English club, I’d love to start up a postcard exchange to help continue to broaden the minds of the kids I work with. We’ll also send them out as best we can 😊 let me know if you’re interested!

Update on Son's 50 State Race

Hello! Just wanted to update everyone on my previous post on my son's 50 state postcard race. His class is currently in first place, but only by two states! I cannot thank everyone enough for all the help - I could not believe the amount of messages I got! I truly appreciate everyone who send a card and a message to help us out! His class is still missing the following states:

Arkansas

Kansas

Kentucky

Louisiana

Nebraska

Rhode Island

South Dakota

If anyone from those states would be willing to send in a card, we would really appreciate it! He would just need two facts on the card about the state it is coming from - those can be hand written or printed on there. Please send me a message for the address and thank you again for all the help! We would also be happy to send a card back if anyone would like one.

I want to send physical handwritten letters to strangers this year

hi, I don't know if it is a right subreddit (a postcard sub?) to ask but I want to send physical letters to two strangers anywhere around the world this month. If you'd like to receive one, please give me a short reason so as to why you deserve one or anything really. I have always loved writing letters and I send them often to my friends. This year I want to send it to strangers. Last year was very difficult for me, I lost my mother, I really want to become a better person this year and writing letters really helps me. I hope to get responses, thanks!

[Exchange] [US to WW] The Office themed postcards mailed from the Electric City itself!

I'm not a fan of The Office, but I know many people out there are! I'm from Scranton, and have the pleasure of being surrounded by small shops that carry art from talented artists; a lot of it involves The Office! I'd love to exchange some Office themed postcards for any postcards you'd like to send!

Comment which episode of The Office you think would be most likely to get me interested in the show, and I'll reach out to the first three comments for addresses!

Postcards of Andaman & Nicobar Islands of India

I am now in the capital city of the island. I bought 30 sets of stamps at the Post Office with the hope of sending 30 postcards. Unfortunately, after nearly 10,000 steps walking the street, I couldn't find any postcards and the staff at the souvenir shops gave me kind of weird look 😅😅😅
