True.
With expired I meant what is shown expired in travelling, so 60+ days. So nothing happens when it gets expired, only you get a free slot. (After a year these disappear from the list.)
The card can be officially registered for a year from address drawing date.
Even after the year, if the member still is here, you get their user name (when trying to register) and can send a thank you message.
I have already sent 3 new cards that did not arrive last time. one of them has arrived in the meantime.
I havenāt heard anything from the other two either. then I think it is necessary to send new ones.
Hi, I have a special card which I send to addresses that appear as āexpiredā. Most of the time, these cards do arrive, and sometimes both cards arrive at the same time!
I have stopped sending messages and ask if the postcard has arrived, as I do not get a reply. I might send a second card if the receiver is active (logged on the past couple of days) and do register cards. I do not send the same postcard again, as I usually do not have any left.
No, I would not send a second card before it expires. Cards I send to Germany take approx. 2-4 weeks to be registered, there are always a few that take 6-8 weeks instead.
Hereās what I do if a card seems to be delayed. I check their account, and see if they are active and/or registering received cards. Then I wait until the card expires at 61 days. If itās Germany, as you mention, I will message the member to see if they are on holiday, traveling, or something is happening preventing their mail. Btw, some members donāt respond to this, and some do respond. If the member hasnāt logged on in a month or more, and/or has not registered any cards in the past 60 days, I do not send a second card (especially if they didnāt respond to my message).
Iāll send a second card to active German members after 60-80 days, because the mail to there is normally quick 2-6 weeks. I send a lot of cards to Germany because I have selected the option to send multiple cards to the same country, so Iāve had a lot of opportunities to develop a system that works for me. Plus since I moved to this city last year, this is one of my main hobbies now, so Iām more willing to send second cards in these situations. Doesnāt happen very much though.
Good luck! It feels slow starting out. Have patience if possible.
I emailed someone today because my card wasnāt registered; if she didnāt receive it, would it be okay to send another one to her and use the same number on the card? Sometimes things so get lostā¦ Thanks
if you want to send a second card you should write the same id on yes
