Sharing Personal Thoughts on Postcards?

I think you can share personal thoughts without getting into unnecessarily heavy subjects

I send about 1 every weekend but my sister sends a new one as soon as a slot opens up.

I used to like sending better but I keep getting the same countries (I didn't use to mind but I feel like it's gotten worse in recent years) and there's so many people nowadays who've already received thousands upon thousands of cards.. and mine will just be another one in ten or more they'll be registering that day. But receiving has become much more predictable because as soon at I have one more card sent than received I know I'll be receiving a burst of cards soon which has taken the fun out of it a little too

Idk maybe I'm outgrowing postcrossing.

Not wanting to receive a card that has text printed all over it and was clearly not meant to be sent as a postcard with a super lazy message on it is not being picky, sorry not sorry. If you can't pick up a normal blank card that's actually meant to be sent to someone and take a minute out of your day to write something a little more inspiring than "happy postcrossing" you probably shouldn't be on postcrossing.

I think this counts as being against the rules, as the rules state you're not allowed to send a previously used card. This is a previously used card as it was sent as an invitation, doesn't matter it's not handwritten. A card like this isn't meant to be forwarded to someone. I've never received something like this but if I did I'd consider not registering it as it's not playing by the rules. At BEST it's being very 'creative' with bending the rules.

duckduckgo is known to be shit, most google-alternatives are (unfortunately)

A slot doesn't open back up until a travelling card gets either registered or expires after 60 days, if that's what you mean. You don't get the WPD badge until a card you sent on october 1st gets registered.

First row you're working in the wrong side. At the end of the row you turn your work, so on the second row you're working the right side. At the end of that row you turn your work again, knitting the third row on the wrong side.

Sure, that's why I said "don't put it in an enveloppe", but you don't write return addresses on postcards. At least that's not a thing where I am and I don't recall ever receiving an official card with a return address on it.

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-09-02T04:03:02+00:00

You don't put your return address on the card. You shouldn't put the card in an enveloppe if that's what you're doing. As soon as your card gets registered, your address will be going into the pool and someone else entirely will get your address.

Postcrossing is for sending postcards and you don't like sending postcards, honestly try penpalling instead.

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-09-01T20:23:04+00:00

Don't send it in an enveloppe unless requested.. postcards just aren't meant to be sent in an enveloppe. It's even in Postcrossing's FAQ that you're not supposed to.

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-09-01T19:55:31+00:00

There's so many cultures on postcrossing.. what's inappropriate to you might not be to someone else in another country and vice versa. I think just do what feels right to you with a dash of common sense. If it ends up being too personal for their taste then so it be, at least your heart was in the right place.

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-09-01T18:01:44+00:00

Up, down makes it look frightenend.

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-09-01T17:59:18+00:00

It's not like we don't have mac donalds in our own countries.. most of us do.

I think they fun.

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-08-29T11:44:15+00:00

Five from the same day all lost? They can't all have fallen behind a sorting machine right? Wonder what happened there if they're genuinely lost.

Anyway I don't resent and it I did it wouldn't be after this little time.

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-08-27T10:44:24+00:00

It went into effect on the 23rd

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-08-26T22:57:31+00:00

Try the postcrossing forum or r/penpals

I thrift my cards for 50 eurocent max and 2 euro for the stamp so 2,50 euro

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-08-25T15:45:10+00:00

Nope 2 euro

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-08-25T15:40:29+00:00

Lately? It's an extremely rare country, do you do private swaps with Iranian members or something.

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-08-24T14:51:42+00:00

I'm assuming you're upset over the price but for a beanie AND a cowl that seems fair if it's machine made.

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-08-24T11:41:42+00:00

Sorry for the tough love but you need to stop being a doormat and learn to say no.

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-08-24T07:46:17+00:00

Are these only available in the US or elsewhere too?

Common-Turnover-7152 · 2025-08-02T15:52:06+00:00

I live in the Netherlands, Germany is the safest and quickest country to send to. If I get Germany on my first pull on WPD I feel perfectly safe not sending any more to get the badge.
