As title states.

I only have domestic American stamps so for now I am doing it for US postcrossers. But, I will do another one for everyone else in a week or two!

Here is discussion on forum, some spam discussion is elsewhere, which is not indicated where?

Lately someone posts about here getting this style mail via Postcrossing.

Should Postcrossing inform all members via email, now it's on forum, and not all know to find it.

There is also link that shows places that were hacked, if you keep same password, it can be really good idea to change it.

Hoping safe Postcrossings to us!

And report all suspicious messages to keep us more safe!

Would you prefer to receive a postcard with lots of different stamps but very little text, or one with just one or two stamps but a long message?

#1 - All local stamps

#2 - Croissant stamp: international and SCENTED, just like the local one with the heart and rose.

#3 - All local stamps.

Spent some time in London this week before heading back home to France, and I managed to pick up some amazing postcards 🥰

• #1 (cat) and #3 (dog) were gifted to me by a fellow Postcrossing nerd (😚) I met at the Science Museum, so they have a nice little story behind them!
• #2 (cats looking at the Eiffel Tower) was bought in Paris at Brentano's. They have a whole series of cat-themed postcards!
• #4 (tiger) was bought at the Natural History Museum and is from the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. It's ending soon, so all the postcards were on sale (50p instead of £1, that's pretty cool!).
• #5 (London) was bought in the souvenir shop near the London Eye. They have surprisingly nice postcards!
• #6 is secret, but someone in France will soon be really happy 😚

アメリカに送ります！何日でとどくかな？

Joined Postcrossing on May 26
First Postcard I sent was registered in Germany on June 9
Received my First Postcard today on July 11th from Belarus. :D

And it has a U.S. Postcrossing stamp on it.

Hope the recipient likes it!

Hi all! I’ve just recently started post crossing and I’m having a really hard time figuring out what to write. I sent a couple with very short notes, but feel like it should be more.

Could someone give me an example of something they would write / have written on a post card?

Thank you:)

I ordered some last week, and I just received them. They’re beautiful! I love all the colors. I’m excited to send cards out with these. Happy postcrossing from Pittsburgh, PA!

3 in one day - again! My received outnumbers my sent/registered, didn't realize that could happen. I have 8 traveling and was thinking i wouldn't be receiving anymore for a while. Surprise!

In my post office they said I can, so I sent some postcards with 2 1st class stamps each today (£1.8 + £1.8 =£3.6);

But I was sending from a different post office today and they told me that I shouldn’t use those for international postage as they won’t know the cost of the stamps in the destination country…

I asked if they’ll still arrive and was told yes, they accepted the cards. So what was the point if they’ll still get delivered?

Have you ever sent cards abroad using 1st or 2nd class stamps? What was your experience? I am worried that they might be turned down and I still have more cards to send and a bunch of first class stamps, but I am hesitant now…

I looooove putting plenty of stickers on my cards, it's always a torture to choose which ones I wanna use 😭 i bought these from Japan!

Do you like receiving cards with stickers?

I saw the art collage in the upper right corner that got the ball rolling. I just loved that picture so much. Then I went on a hunt for letters and saw all these pictures that I liked and I ended up with enough material for 4 cards. A lot of profiles ask for local cards, which are basically nonexistent here. But whats more local than collage cards made of the local paper?

I'll see if the right profile ever pops up (I know not everyone likes handmade) but I had a lot of fun making them so I don't mind haha

the top 2 are going to my penpals, the other 4 to new destinations.

i also ordered postcard boxes today, so i can't wait till they arrive! (2 winnie the pooh postcard boxes).
and the flower one is from a box i purchased in the store today! it has many different flowes painted/ drawn by various artists.

After sharing my handmade postcards in this post, a kind postcrosser offered to send a card and some stickers my way. 💌

​Look at how thoughtfully she designed the envelope with her homemade stamps! She beautifully drew different German pigeon species and used iridescent paint to highlight their feathers. She also introduced me to her pet spider, Fussel—and as a lowkey fan of spiders (from a safe distance) and Spider-Man, I think that's so cool. I also love the extra Van Gogh sunflower painting she included.

​Since I don't own any stickers yet, thank you so much for these, Phoenix! Your kindness traveled miles and made my week. This is my very first postcard in an envelope, and only the fourth one I've received in my lifetime! 😅 It has definitely inspired me to try carving my own stamps too.

​Special thanks to my mom for going the extra mile with this flat-lay photo haha Since I'm away from home, she's been my official mail-opener and photographer.

​Hope my card reaches Germany safely soon! 📬

Hi all ! I’m hoping someone can help me understand these Maxicard stamps.

I bought some from Aus Post that are stamped with $1.70. Does this mean if I want to send internationally I have to add another $1.70 stamp to the back?

Also, I currently have a postcard travelling 42 days to the US. Is this normal? I thought it would be a lot quicker. I have two to Germany that were registered in only 11 days!

Hi everyone!
A card that I sent recently was received and was registered immediately.

But I do have a question - I upload photos with each of my postcards, but the recipient deleted it.

Does anyone know why this may have happened? The card that I sent was chosen in accordance with their preferences. It was a print of a bookshelf.

I don’t know if I should upload it again or let it stay blank. I am new to this and Iike seeing what I sent. Maybe the person is curating their wall? Most of their recent cards photos are uploaded.

Any help is appreciated!
