I think Christmas cards are my favorite ones to send. Well, and Halloween.

I have a question about sending postcards on postcrossing with or without envelopes. My post office, either the local or country one, often stamps the FRONT of my card 🥴😑 Is this normal. It upsets me to no end. And because it isn't always the same persons or office I'm not sure where to complain to. Ive had many beautiful cards ruined because of this

The only thing I really ask for on my profile is to please send with an envelope but I think I should put this as a reason why I'm asking since I can't get them to stop.

Sorry for the long rant , just wanted to know if anyone else experiences this or mayne it's just me and my mail persons don't care or even hate that I get so much mail (they have complained about it and even that my mail box is too small sigh).

I was playing around with this tool on the German post website to see how long they claim my traveling postcards should take and noticed that for many countries they also give the info which days of the week the post gets delivered in that country. I noticed quite a few only deliver Monday-Friday? Somehow I always assumed it was just no post on Sundays in at least pretty much all Western (/Christian) countries? But I guess not, I shouldn't have assumed! The first two I looked up were Finland and Italy and they both have no post on Saturdays and Sundays, at least according to this. What's it like where you live? Ultimately an extra day doesn't make much of a difference in delivery times but it's still interesting to note.

I don't think there's an English version of the site but if you want to find out what it says about your country (and fact-check the weekdays?), just choose the country (in German, but should be easy enough to translate) and "Brief/Postkarte international" in the drop down menus.

So I sent out those postcards almost 40 days ago and they still haven’t arrived… is it common?

Hi everyone ! I'm so happy to have received my first postcard and it's from Germany ✨

Hey there,

I'm curious to learn how you're treating your favorites wall. Is it only cards you have received and that you like or is it also cards that other people sent to each other?

As of now, I only have postcards on there that I have received because I thought that was the way to go. But then again, we do have the opportunity to favorite other people's cards so I think it's also a missed opportunity. First, to show appreciation for other cards, and second to enrich my favorites wall with thinks I like.

Curious to hear your thoughts on this.

Have you ever read a profile on post crossing that you’ve received as your next postcard to send and thought to yourself, I’d rather not send this person a postcard? Today is the first time since I joined this summer that I thought to myself I’d rather not send a postcard to this person. While there were definitely some common interest listed in this person‘s profile, the majority of it was things that they almost demanded to receive or absolutely forbade people to send. There was even a disclaimer at the end, respect my wishes and do not send me the things that I have outlined.Maybe I’m too into my own thoughts about Thanksgiving and being thankful for the blessings that are in my life, the my life is not necessarily I’ll walk in the park, I’m still very thankful for every day. I still sent this person a postcard, but I just wish them the best and that’s all. I’ve never felt more like I’ve wasted a postcard in my life.

they mentioned they liked sunsets, pastels and the color purple and i just had to decorate the postcard like this!! so proud of it haha (the other side shows a sunset at some beach)

Was thinking about getting some photos I’ve taken printed out as postcards. Was wondering if you anyone has any recommendations for websites that do a good job at it. I just seen a friend on instagram who was disappointed with the postcard quality from Redbubble. Happy Turkey Day from the USA.

My dad is a professional photographer for rocket Launches (like NASA/SpaceX/etc) he gets shots that hobbiest just can not due to his ability to be on the bases. I figure they are pretty cool since many people want space cards and I can get the rights to his photos cheap.

If he prints these cards for me through Vista/Moo are they considered Self-printed? Even if he sells some on his webshop?

Can they be used for RR?

I've got some Christmas postcards issued by Ukrainian postal service. I had plans to send them to postcrossing members, but unfortunately all the profiles I get lately have "no Christmas cards" in their "About me". Would anyone here like to swap with me?

Do you like shaped cards?
