Your stats says you have sent 50% to Germany not 99%

I think you can’t do much about it since German postcrossers are the majority. Their postal service works fast, many of their cards travel faster knowing that they’re located in Europe (where many postcrossers are too), so German addresses will be available more to draw~

This topic has been discussed many times I guess lol

Try to think that you write it to a person rather than an address in Germany . Eventhough it’s only Germany the people aren’t the same and the region where the postcrossers are, not the same either. There’s always variety if you look deeper

Most of my cards go to USA (due to restrictions), I can’t do much about it but USA is a big country and person in Florida isn’t the same with people in New York etc. even people from the same state have different story too!

Have you checked to make sure you don’t have “send to repeated countries only” ticked? (Click on settings, then profile, and scroll down to near the bottom of the page.)

But even if you don’t have that ticked, you will send more postcards to Germany than any other country. We all do.

As has already been said, this has been discussed many times. This is one of the threads:

Keeping getting the same countries

Wondering how I can request different countries to send list cards to? I’m new to this but the majority of my cards are going to Germany. I have only gotten three other countries and all my other cards are going to Germany? Is this common? I keep wondering if I clicked something I shouldn’t have. I’d just prefer more variety. Any thoughts? Thank you Angela

@Florallle

Have you checked to make sure you don’t have “send to repeated countries only” ticked?

I’m pretty sure the op has this option enabled as he has only sent to 4 countries so far. That is highly unlikely without that option.

Why do I have so many cards traveling to the same country?

Don’t forget the postal monitor. India doesn’t send mail to 115 countries.

[Florallle]

Yes, I thought that too.

I’m going to close this topic here, because the solution has already been provided: @moganesan please check your profile settings and switch off the option that indicates your preference for exchanging postcards with repeated countries. This option is off by default, and must have been switched on by you at some point. It’s fine to turn it off, if you’d like some more variety.
