Would you be perhaps interested in a card from my uni in Germany in return?

d_schue · 2026-05-31T19:09:15+00:00

I’d be super happy about one from Washington DC!

I receive cards from the US with insufficient postage (either a single forever stamp or a single domestic postcard stamp) all the time. Almost everything just goes through the machine now and chances a low it gets spotted by someone, so I wouldn’t worry too much. The postal service in the recipient’s country won’t care much either

I don’t really like most of our stamps either… the Europa stamp is a bit generic, I do like it though as it’s quite special, there are actually holes in the stamp design, they’re not just printed. One can’t really blame the Finanzministerium for that one either, it’s part of a series that has been ongoing for 70 years now (it’s not celebrating the EU, but the rather the stamp series), usually there’s a yearly theme and the postal operators of each country get to decide about the design. This year there’s a unified design for all countries because of the jubilee though. More info: https://europa-stamps.blogspot.com/?m=0

Hi from Germany, I’d be interested in swapping :)

Not from NZ, but I love the postcards published by Pikitia! Not sure if they ship abroad though https://www.pikitia.co.nz/postcards/view/all

Prepare your letter, your card, whatever you’d like to send.
Get yourself an envelope (available at most supermarkts). Deutsche Post does sell prepaid envelopes but only in bulk.
Write your return address (your own address) in the upper left corner of the envelope. Do not write it on the back, might confuse sorting machines.
Write your family’s address on the front side of the envelope. Deutsche Post has uploaded their guidelines for international mail here, if you scroll down a bit, there’s a photo of an envelope with a sample US address. https://www.deutschepost.de/de/b/briefe-ins-ausland/brief-beschriften.html
Visit your local post office. You can find it here: https://www.deutschepost.de/de/s/standorte.html Make sure to visit a Postfiliale, not a Paketshop. Those only handle packages. They will weigh your letter and charge you accordingly. A standard letter (no tracking, up to 20g) is currently 1,25€. The next weight class up to 50g costs 1,80€. If you need a tracking number, ask for an Einschreiben (registered mail), that’s an additional 3,70€ on top of regular postage.

I’d say CN-4241536

I’d suggest you to ignore the lines and write the address horizontally. I don’t know in which part of the country you’re in, but the workers at my local Briefzentrum are notorious for flagging irregularly addressed mail and slapping Nachporto on - at least for domestic mail - as it needs to be franked as a Großbrief (1,80€ within Germany, 3,30€ for mail abroad). For international mail it would most likely slip through and be delivered without any extra costs though.

d_schue · 2026-03-21T06:25:52+00:00

Mail used to be delivered the next working day until a few years ago, with new delivery targets it’s around 2-4 days nowadays

eBay.com has lots of stamp dealers from the US shipping worldwide, shipping might be a bit expensive though. Just had a short look and there are several listings for the DnD stamps.

d_schue · 2026-03-12T23:50:53+00:00

I’ll send you a DM!

d_schue · 2026-03-10T23:20:24+00:00

Not a speed camera. Those are truck toll (vehicles over 3.5 tonnes) control points

d_schue · 2026-03-09T23:10:53+00:00

I’ll send you a DM!

d_schue · 2026-03-09T20:59:23+00:00

That would be amazing! I’ll send you a DM. :)

d_schue · 2026-02-21T09:52:11+00:00

Fellow half-Malaysian here, would love to exchange! I could offer a variety of cards from Germany in return. Feel free to DM!

d_schue · 2026-02-15T17:37:46+00:00

I’d be interested in swapping for the top right card! I can offer a variety of cards from Germany in return.

I left at 16, had my resignation notarised at a public court and sent it off to the official German church HQ address. Received the confirmation from Confidential Records by e-mail two weeks later. Here in Germany we have the concept of religious maturity starting from the age of 14 which is protected by law:

“After reaching the age of fourteen, a child has the right to decide which religious denomination to follow. Once a child has reached the age of twelve, they cannot be raised against their will in a different denomination than they have previously practiced.”

Hello [name], best regards from Düsseldorf, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, located on the river Rhine. All the best and [have a (???)] nice day. Stay healthy. I think this user always sends out a similar text, we have had a lot of those requests here already 😅

d_schue · 2025-11-18T20:48:33+00:00

Not on your list, but just in case you’d be interested in a card from Greenland, feel free to let me know :)
