So, yesterday, I got an email indicating a postcard I sent was registered. Yay! I went in to request an address and I noted that I had two cards available to send now. This was odd because…
I was caught up and knew that to that point I had no cards to send
I did not have any recent cards expire, thus allowing me a new one to send
I did not cross into a new level allowing me more cards to be sent
Flash to this morning, I got an email overnight saying that a postcard I sent was received. Ergo, I should be able to request a new address, right? No, the system says I am maxed out.
All I can figure is that for some reason there was a 12-hour lag in me getting that second email, and it served up the ability to send the card before I knew that one had been received that I had sent.
Anyone else experience this or have any ideas what happened?
I don’t know for sure, but your idea that the card was registered hours before you got email sounds plausible. Postcrossing doesn’t tell you right away when a card has been favorited. Maybe some of the ‘Hurray’ messages aren’t immediately issued either.
It’s happened to me a couple of times this past week but never before. As soon as I saw that I had a new slot opened up, but no email, I checked my sent postcards, and got confirmation that one had been registered in the past few hours. The email turned up later in the day.
I realized that I’ve only looked at the last two digits and deleted my post, thank you. The positioning was still odd, since I couldn’t replicate it by mixing the filters (date, country, etc).
