[SWAP & PENPAL] - Request and Offers

As I have noticed that there is no Swap and Penpal topic here yet, I am opening one so that a new topic does not always have to be opened for that.

Please only post offers and requests relating to British Isles in this topic.

Answers should always be sent via PM to keep it clearly organised here.

It would also be helpful if you would remove your posts if your offer or request is no longer current.

Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:


For larger exchange offers, where lively communication is to be expected, you can of course continue to open a separate topic.

Hi! I am a woman from Shanghai, China. Loves postcard writing, photography, pets and Harry Potter, and occasionally plays esports. I am very interested in British traditional culture, and I hope to find someone to introduce me to relevant content. I can also share the culture of Shanghai or other parts of China with you. I have a lot of Chinese postcards of various styles, as well as meetup cards in the Yangtze River Delta (Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Hangzhou, etc.), but besides postcards, I hope to exchange letters at the same time. I also occasionally like to put badges, refrigerator magnets, tea bags and other small gifts in the envelope. Anyway, I want to find a British pen Pal to share my life with. If you are interested, please feel free to send me a private message!
Thank you :dove:

Hello ! I was wondering if anyone can help me with these stamps. Im interested in them on postcards or on envelopes, but i would like them used.
Im from the US so any stamps that are currently on the usps website I can obtain if you would like a trade. :innocent:

Hallo (shwmae) I am from Germany and learning cymraeg ar the moment. Maybe here is a Welsh speaking postcrosser and interested in being pen pals with me so that I can improve my Welsh skills.

Greetings Christine

Not a Postcrossing issue, but is there anyone in London who would be prepared to post an April Fool letter for me.
I’d get it packaged this weekend and sent to you first class, hopefully already with a postage label on the large letter that needed posting - ready for you to drop in a postbox.
If you would be willing to do this, could you drop me a PM?

Thank you @MoominMog . Ideally I’d have it there a little earlier, so I’ll keep hoping to find someone living in the city. If I’ve run out of friends and acquaintances by Monday, I’ll post it to you first thing.

Hello Morning All,

I was wondering if anyone would have the following Stamp and/or PHQ postcards, open to requests.

…and if anyone purchased the recent Dinosaur PHQ cards, would they be willing to part with the Miniature Sheet PHQ card, I do love the art gallery layout of this postcard.

Hello! I love Irish music, dance, castles and Guinness so much :four_leaf_clover: :beers: :ireland: Wish to find a postcard pal or a pen pal from Ireland :heartpulse: If you’re interested, please send me a PM. Thank you :heart_hands:

A few years ago I got super into making jewellery and I made way too much. If anyone would be interested in swapping any of the following:

  • little rings and pendants made with postage stamp in it
  • sea glass pendant (glued not drilled)
  • ‘kandi’/beaded friendship-style bracelets

for washi tape samples, stickers, ephemera, paper craft supplies of your choice, then please message me.

It’ll have to be UK only for this sadly, as last time I tried to send them internationally I think the customs forms ruined the Post Office lady’s afternoon…
