I sent 5 officials today. I don’t have photos of the front, but I liked the stamps I used and took a photo of those. The postcards are on their way to Germany, Belarus, Russia and the USA.

I actually had to pick up a postcard from the post office today. Yesterday, I found a notification in my mailbox, that a piece of registered mail could not be delivered to me because I wasn’t at home. It didn’t say anything more than “a piece of registered mail”, so due to the fact that registered mail in my book always had a touch of “highly official” and “very important” to me and for the life of me I couldn’t think of who would send me something via registered mail and why, except for something along the lines of “did I just get fired?!” So you can probably imagine, I was somewhat nervous… I went to the post office after work today, and what did I get?! A postcard from Lithuania! lol

And it was no registered mail at all, I suppose, for Deutsche Post took the barcode of the Lithuanian Post for a register code, while it is not more than the orange barcode used by Deutsche Post themselves.

Yep, I reckon that’s exactly what happened. While I gotta admit their additional barcode sticker with a number on it really looks like it’s registered mail… this is actually the second time I received a postcard from Lithuania labelled as registered mail. This first time I was at home when my mailwoman stopped by, she was like “why on earth does somebody send a postcard by registered mail?!”
It doesn’t seem like this happens with every piece of mail from Lithuania though…

Hallo, interessant das zu lesen! Bei mir kam nämlich heute auch eine Karte aus Litauen an mit einem Aufkleber Einschreiben und R , also Rückantwort. Ich glaube, dass der Absender es aufgeklebt hat …oder? Als Deko vielleicht? Denn wie sollte das sonst gemacht sein? Sehr kurios!

I revived 2 official cards (from Australia and Portugal) and 1 card from a tag(from Germany):

Today I have received this unexpected “ghost-meeting” card from @B-Engel:


I don’t understand if it’s an official without ID (but I’m not supposed to receive any at the moment) or a RAS-card. Thanks a lot anyway! :smiley:

Thank you I’ll have to add that to my want list!

@AnjuschkaC I love that postcard!

(for the sake of everyone, I’ll stick to english… :wink:)

I don’t think that “Einschreiben R” label was put there by the sender… the postcard I received had a Lithuanian barcode sticker on the bottom, and the sticker from Deutsche Post was put across the (officially stamped) Lithuanian stamp. So whatever is happening currently, Deutsche Post seems to think a postcard is registered mail when in fact it isn’t…
