Description:
Simple swap, send a card of your choice to 6 partners ! This is a FAST swap (only 72 hours after partner assignment to send you cards) ! Swap is international so you might send and receive cards from other country than yours... So send your 6 postcards (naked card - no envelope required but if you preferred to send in an envelope that is also OK) to your 6 partners - SENDERS choice... BUT NO HANDMADE CARD (only card bought from shop or via Internet) - check your partner profile to see what card they like and if possible match their preferences... this might help you to get a heart in your ratings... And remember this is a POSTCARD SWAP, so if you do not want to write a message to the person you are posting the postcard to, you DO NOT have to do so. All you need to write (or type) is just the name of the swap and your swap-bot name. However if you would like to write a personal message it's totally your choice... Then again if you happen to know someone (or yourself) who publish postcards or deal in postcards in anyway do not hesitate to mention (advertise) this on your postcard - ANYTHING to advance the collecting of postcard in this world is VERY WELCOME... they are less and less peoples collecting postcards around the world (due to Email and phone messaging I guess) so feel free to promote this hobby in anyway you can to whom you can... (I can't believe I have to say that!)... Rate your partners fairly once you receive your cards please !

I would love to join but can't afford he international postage!!! I just sent my 15 cards out this morning for the Express Swap #5. I had 7 international partners an it cost me over $8 just for those 7 cards...well over $1 each!!! Wow!!! I had no idea it was so costly so send simple postcards overseas!!! I sure won't make that mistake again!!! Maybe for only 2 or 3 partners, but not 10 or 15. Sorry:(((

US postage overseas if alot less than some of the other countries sending to the US so I found out. May be the coordinator can do a swap with only 5 partners for us poor folk. Just a suggestion. I will be watching this one to see how my $$ situation is this month. I love postcards.

Well, I am already reconsidering joining this swap, lol. I do appreciate that we will only have 10 partners rather than 15 this time around. Keeping in watch for now and will see how money situation is closer to time:)))

@bettlfow09 I'm jealous. Seriously. I have to pay $2,11 for one single international postcard. So 10 postcards international would cost me $21,10. :o(

Wow.. @Obswtminker !!! It is just too rediculous what the postal service charges to send a little 'ol' piece of cardboard!!! The cost doesn't bother me too much in swaps with only 2 or 3 partners, but when it comes to 10-15 well....that's a different story, lol. Ofcourse if all I swapped was simple postcards wouldn't be so bad....the other packages run the bill up fast!!!

Yep, with all that said, I think I've just about talked myself into joining in for the challenge again:)))

The "bad" thing is...it's too addictive â™¥

Wow, I was going to join, but after hearing that the cost is over $1 just to send a postcard, I thought twice. I just finished sending out 3 swaps that cost me $15 so I can't do this one yet. It sucks to be poor
