Wow! Looking forward to getting some of these.
Whoa! Thank you for sharing this and tagging to bring it to my attention ā what an amazing story!
Stuās dedication really is super impressive and the researcherās detective skills as well! This gives me such warm feelings, knowing that this person had a tough time this past year and a half, but then got this unexpected piece of happiness delivered to her. Hurray!
Iām going to make a note to share it after World Postcard Day
Have noticed in the last few weeks (or maybe months) that intra-UK letters are travelling very fast on 2nd classā¦in some cases faster than 1st class! Have had a few postcards/letters with 2nd class stamp arrive next day - both sending and receiving. Anyone else?
Not sure, but my first class postcard posted yesterday arrived this morning, I wasnāt really expecting that either. Although local business mail here has also been delivered in one day recently.
I made a mess on Friday of my postcards I didnāt send, so today I organised them. I came across some written ones, including one from a certain someone who visited Serbia in 2013, a couple of postcards from Finland with the lenticular winter sports stamps, and some blank ones via some RRs - one Metallica postcard from Brian, and a few postcards from W105akaMokeā¦
Iāve noticed this too! I recently had a large first class letter take three days to arrive whilst one of the cards I posted second class on WPD arrived the next day!
I am still waiting for my cards posted on WPD at our postcrossing meet-up to arrive. First class within the UK and airmail to Europe. It should be fast, but maybe the special handstamp takes a while. Patience is not one of my virtues ā¦
I was hoping they would arrive today,
Letās hope they donāt take longer than 7 days
Caught my name in the whatās happening box a couple of times today. Also recognised a few names as well, including Serenaās!
My one I sent to myself from Stampex only arrived yesterday!
Oh wow, thatās a long wait! My cards sent to myself took one week, the ones to Germany arrived two days ago. Love the special cancellation stamp ,
A postcard I sent in March has just arrived with its recipient. Wow!
Lovely card Jess! So satisfying when one arrives after so long
I know World Postcard Day is exciting and all, but I have now received 5 official copies of the same WPD card
Next year Iāll have to go inactive that day!
I was in postcard debt then, but even so, received 2 non-postcrossing WPD cards, one from the US, and one from England, from the mother of a postcrosserā¦
I just hit 500 sent postcards with GB-1448380
Amazing!
My life is now categorised by two days:
- Days postcards arrive
- Days no postcards arrive
Havenāt had postcards arrive in ages, but today three came at once. Hooray!
And yesterday I got a new type of card āThereās a fee to pay before we can deliver your itemā I wonder what that could be, not really expecting anything. Especially at Ā£4 thatās more than a letter I think? At least the whole process is online now.
Ah there was something similar on another thread: Postcard from Royal Mail - #9 by MostlyMess
Ā£4 is a lot! Really annoys me when people underpay postageā¦
