Welcome, please read the following instructions on exchanges

Let's trade postcards! You have the option to exchange, request or offer a postcard.

Please keep in mind that each person is spending time and money, so make sure you reciprocate.

Mail your postcards within 3 days, or set a time-frame and honor that time.

Be descriptive in your posts. Here are some samples and the obligation rules for each type of exchange.

[Exchange] 5 from Washington DC.
Both parties are obligated to send a postcard. That means the poster is sending out 5 cards and each recipient is to send the poster one card.

[Offer Only] 1 from Oregon.
Sending out a postcard with no expectation of receiving anything.

[Request Exchange] Looking for a card from Japan.
Both parties are obligated to send a postcard.

[Request Only] Looking for funny postcards.
Request postcards without the obligation to return a postcard.

You could make [Thank You] post if you want, but there's a weekly thread for that.

Communication is key to a successful exchange.

Please edit your posts in the following manner to ensure good communication. Use reddit names only.
The poster should honor the comments as received when sending out several postcards.

Sample for posting:
[Exchange] 2 from Hawaii
Edit: Closed, Open or have one left.
Edit: 1. name sent, rec'd date or (never rec'd been 1 month)
Edit: 2. name date sent, rec'd date

Sample for replies:

Edit: 1. date, Thanks got your card

If you find that these rules are not being honored please contact the mod.
