3 days to China!
These are my currently travelling cards, so itās not been received yet! I think itād have to sent by rocket ship to achieve that
Oh, so sorry! I was quite warm from an uphill walk when I read that. That does make more sense!
All of my travelling cards, including the expired ones:
Australia is the only odd one out of the slower cards.
Ah, sorry. Once i reread your post it was perfectly clear .
Iāve sometimes had time & signed up for a large group - then a LONG delay before addresses sent out , by which time Iām busy.
The recent uptake in activity in UK is helpful I think as long as you donāt feel obliged to post everything the same day. Some of us still have full time jobs.
Let the busy work period pass - we have to practice self care. Then treat yourself to some beautiful cards you canāt wait to sendā¦ x
So over the last few days my two cards traveling to Belarus reached their destinations. I decided to trial my timing theory, which could obviously be a complete fluke, butā¦
I drew one address at 10pm last night & got a UK address and I drew a second address at 5.30am today & got the USA.
I canāt be 100% certain, but I believe all my recent Russian & Belarusian addresses were drawn during the middle of the day x
I may have to test your theory, Emma. Iāve never received a UK address, for instance. Maybe I just havenāt drawn enough addresses, though? I always thought it was just completely at random, but I donāt know.
I have been on Postcrossing for just under a year and Iāve only ever had 2 official UK addresses.
Nine in four years here.
That was my second UK address since I joined & sent my very first card back in August last year.
It doesnāt feel random, although I thought so too x
I managed 4 days to UK for @xxxxyyyyzzzz
It has got to be my fastest - the only other 4 days I had was to Hong Kong, which is within Asia
Cards to @Steve_Francis have also been generally quick, usually within a week
(My last card to him travelled 22-27 April)
Thatās impressive!
It seems like a UK Postcrosser might only get about 2 UK addresses a year, then, unless they have many more slots availableā¦?
Iāve sent 5 cards to the UK in 2 years, so 2/year sounds about right
I didnāt realise UK addresses were so infrequent. Thank you everybody for the clarifications.
Hello everyone! Just wanted to check in and say that Iām still here, and really enjoying all your chat (I especially loved all the bluebell photos a few weeks ago!) but now I usually have a lovely tiny person curled up on me which is making writing messages and postcards a little trickier than before! But Iām looking forward to joining in with some of the new tags soon!
Take care everyone, and hope itās sunny and lovely where you are!
Katie xx
Many congratulations Katie!
