Hello from Virginia!
I have a couple of postcards that the recipients are requesting to be sent from origin (one from New York City and one from New Jersey).
Does anyone know if I can mail the card to a post office in that location for the post office to postmark and send out? If so, does anyone have experience with specific post offices in NYC / Jersey that have done this in the past, quickly and correctly? Thanks!
If you look at the USPS Postal Bulletin there are currently these pictorial postmarks available from New York:
And New Jersey:
Link to Postal Bulletins:
Oh, rats, the NY locations aren’t NYC 
No worries! Do you know if I need to leave enough blank space on the postcard for the whole pictorial postmark or if they can just postmark it over the stamp?
If you can, it’s a good i dea to maybe start the address a line further down than usual to leave some room, as some of these postmarks are bigger than you’d expect. That being said, I don’t think it’s strictly necessary. I’ve sent and received cards with pictorial postmarks covering parts of the address and/or message.
Also, I don’t know about particular post offices, but it seems to be a toss up how quickly these things actually get done 
It looks like the official FDOI is from NYC, even if it’s not technically sent from there If you happen to have the Constance Baker Motley stamps.
Got it, thanks so much!
