How fast do you send a postcard?

I try to send it the next day, but for my last two I waited a week because I spotted something in their requests that I might be able to fulfil as I was planning to go to the city on the weekend. I found what I was looking for and for the first time sent postcards that were requested. I felt really proud of my self because it felt like a made an effort.
Also, I usually only get to the post office later in the day so it gets collected the day after or on the next Monday if I put it in on the weekend.

Usually I will send within a day, but sometimes it is 2-3 days. Only one of the three post offices in my town has Saturday pick up, and I rarely go to the one that does Saturdays, so sometimes I have to wait through the weekend. My main post office is right by where I work so it is easy for me to drop cards off on a break (makes for a lovely walk to get out of the office!).

I tend to take about a week or so if I donā€™t have a card on hand, I like to try and find one the recipient would like so that often means waiting for eBay to send the card.

Hello
I try to respond immediately the day I receive an address. It will then take another day or two to reach the mailbox.
However, Iā€™m still pretty new here, which means there arenā€™t that many addresses yet.

Never more than one day if I draw on a Sunday. I always drive cards directly to post office.

Hello !
I donā€™t know if I already answered in this topic :sweat_smile:

I send the card the day or the day after I picked the address (because the postworker empties the postbox at noon).

I try to not wait more than 1 or 2 days to send my cards.

Iā€™ll be honest, I like to draw addresses in bulk and then send them out over the course of the week. So some cards will be sent within a day and some may take up to 10 days to get mailed. I personally donā€™t have a problem with this method as nearly all my cards tend to get registered within a reasonable window, I have had very few cards expire or get registered ā€œlateā€.
