2 cards from the same city

Salut
Today I received a card from Tyumen, Russia.
2 weeks ago, I received a card from… Tyumen, Russia.

Did you have the same thing happens ? Is it something rare or not ?

Maybe you want to share this on this related topic:

Postcrossing coincidences: What are the odds?

My apologies for creating a second topic within a day, but I need to share a wild coincidence that just happened to me, and I am wondering: What is the probability of something like this happening? Have you experienced amazing coincidences like this on Postcrossing? Last month, I convinced my best friend to join Postcrossing. Since she is new, she has only sent a few cards so far. Today, I drew an address in another country (the owner and nationality of whom I will not specify, so as not to…

Happy Postcrossing!

If it were Moscow I would say no wonder, but Tyumen seems really strange. Although I once received a hurray message saying that the receiver got two postcards from Cheboksary together or within a short period (I don’t remember now).

Sometimes friends sign up around the same time & that could be why you got 2 cards from the same city or it could just be one of the mysteries of Postcrossing!

That’s a funny coincidence, especially since it’s so close in time. There’s a lot of members in post crossing though so I’m sure it’s not unusual for it to happen

That could have been me.

For a beginner it is quite rare to get two cards from the same place in Russia within a short period, except for St. Petersburg and Moscow. But after some time it gets normal.

I don’t think I ever sent you postcards. And I found that message, it said “3 postcards from Russia and 2 from Cheboksary”, so they arrived the same day.

[RalfH]

You are right. It wasn’t you. And I got just one card from Cheboksary, but I sent one there and one to Novocheboksarsk.

Yes, it happened to me very recently. I am a low sender (one a week) and so don’t receive too many postcards at one time. But one day this month I had three postcards in my letterbox, and two were from Winnipeg, Canada! Their id’s were only two numbers apart.

This would be an interesting tag. Lol
