do you send or receive postcards from your own country? or have you deactivated this function?
I used to have this option activated because this way you can increase your max number of travelling cards much faster but I received much more postcards from my own country than from others. It’s also more exciting to receive postcards from other parts in the world. So yes, I have deactivated this function
I’ve always had this function activated. Germany has an awesome and huge variety of cards, and I enjoy reading and writing in my mother tongue for a change.
I want to be able to receive postcards from everywhere so I have it activated.
I’ve had this option for more than a year. In that time, I’ve never sent a postcard to my own country (UK), and have received only one.
I’ve activated this function from the beginning and would never change.
There are so many beautiful cards from Germany and I also find some really good pen pals just through an official card.
I don’t send postcards to my own Country. I joined Postcrossing because I love to travel and learn about other Countries. I have deactivated that function.
I’ve already registered for some domestic sites whose functions are similar to postcrossing but all members live in my own country, so I don’t activate the option here.
I had it activated until a few days ago…
Germany has great cards, and I received many awesome ones.
I was sending about 30% within Germany, which was ok for me, but I received more than 50% from within Germany.
So with a 114 total received, out of which 59 from Germany (the only other 2-digit number was 12 from the USA), I wanted to try to deactivate for 60 days… Then I might return…
I have this option activated, but since Belgium is not an active country and I have the “repeated countries” option also activated, I very rarely send or receive within Belgium.
I tried it for a while in the US but I didn’t like the postcards I received, or rather the messages written on them.
I have it activated now but I would be very surprised if I actually receive a card from another postcrosser in Turkey.
I have it deactivated and I prefer it that way. I don’t really want to give my address to random people in my country
The United States are so large and diverse - I have this option activated.
I have it activated but in the six/seven months I’ve been a Postcrosser I haven’t sent or received one from within the UK yet! Closest one was Ireland.
There’s loads of places in the UK I have never been, or that I have and I love so would very happy to send and receive postcards within my country.
I activated this option in February. So far I haven’t received any cards from Finland and I have sent only two cards to other Finnish members.
I have it on, but don’t actually wind up sending or getting from the US too often, it seems like.
I have it activated but consider to deactivate for 60 days now. I get really many cards from Germany, even more than I send. Not sure yet.
No…never. I buy thousands of Unwritten US cards; so i have no need to receive Written ones.
Yes, I have always been open to receive cards from my own country. If I take out 30 official addresses, there could be one to Finland. Sometimes none. I have acivated also the option of repeated countries - and that means tens of addresses to Germany, Russia and USA.
I activated this option last year because of pandemic. I sent 3 and received 5 within my own country.
This year I haven’t sent and received any cards from my own country.
