I offer this cards .

OFFER CLOSED :man_shrugging:

Hello!

I’m willing to start a collection of Tausendschön postcards, I’m looking more at the ones that have city views, I love the ones with glitter. And also the ones that have historical figures :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
Would anyone be willing to swap these? I have postcards from Costa Blanca, Jávea, and Valencia, but I can try to get more. I have the ones that have city views, but I also have ones that are illustrated with Valencia theme :blush:
I can look into getting some other postcards you might be interested in :blush:

Update: Frau Biles has told me she has started to receive cards. She is going to send me photos and I will post when I get them. Thank you, again!

Hello !

I’m gonna visit Berlin for 3 weeks, and I really want to buy and send postcard for the time I’ll be there.

Do you know where I can find thrifted postcard ? I’m looking for a 10 for 1 euros kind of deal.
I saw already that the stamps are only costing 0.90, which is very nice of the Deutsche Post to make a separate cost from letters :slight_smile: !

Thank you in advance for your help :slight_smile:

The postage for a standard size postcard to send international is 0,95 € :slight_smile:

Hi, I used to store my postcards into this album, that is cheap and compact:
https://www.muji.eu/de/pages/online.asp?PID=7394

Until 2020 I found it here in Italy in the shop chain, but then it disappeared and they said me it was no longer available for the italian market. :angry:

In may 2022, while on holiday in Berlin, I found it instead in the local shop on Kurfürstendamm. :slight_smile:
In december 2022 I went in München, convinced and happy to be able to buy others for my collection but… in the local shop there weren’t :slightly_frowning_face:
They simply said me they hadn’t, and that I had to order it online, that is not a solution since shipping costs makes it expensive.

Does anyone has tried buying it in other german cities?
Thanks :blush:

From Frau Biles:

Hope all is well with you! I’m getting so many postcards I can’t keep up with them…lol. I was wondering if there’s a way for me to check on Postcrossing who sent me the postcards. People don’t always leave an email or return address. I wanted to start writing back and/or perhaps have the students write back.

If you sent a postcard and would like to share your address or email please private message me and I can share with Frau Biles.

Dankeschön!

Are Briefmarkenautomaten being phased out? The one in my city is not there anymore and I don’t know where else I can get 5-cent stamps with no matrix code.

The one in my town could not be repaired for some time now and cannot be used. :slightly_frowning_face:
My impression is that Deutsche Post is giving them up.

As for the stamps:
Maybe at Frankaturware.de.

That’s right and the main reason is because it’s very expensive to keep them working. Too few people using them nowadays.

The 5 cent stamp without matrix code is still available for purchase in Weiden, but only as a roll of 500. :woman_shrugging:

Yes, stamp vending machines are slowly being phased out. There was a press release on this that I posted, but unfortunately I can’t find it anymore. Deutsche Post will also no longer repair heavily defective machines because spare parts are missing and will no longer be procured in the future.

Thanks for the replies. I will keep my eyes peeled for surviving machines when visiting other cities.

Hello everyone,
As I’m new in Germany and relatively new in postcrossing, I have a question for postcrossers in Germany. If I want to send a standard size postcard in an envelope, is the price still 0.95 euros? I use the mail boxes around, so I wanted to ask the community here before putting the envelope in.
Thank you and my best wishes to y’all :slight_smile:

No, it’s €1.10 then. :slight_smile:

Hello!

I’m travelling to Berlin and the near area next summer. I would love to know, where to find postcards. What are the best places to buy postcards? And how about tapes, stickers and pens? I just realized Faber-Castell is German. Of course I’m going to send some tourist cards, but I would love to hear about some unique cards too.

I would really much appreciate tips! Thank you all.

Best, Milla
