Chunk O Cardboard Intl - August 2021

**** Please note that this is an INTERNATIONAL swap. ****

US POSTAGE INCREASE AUGUST 29TH!!!!! The rate for International PCs is increasing on August 29th, 2021 to $1.30 postage (all sizes, so you could send a big one up to 6 1/8 inch x 11 1/2 inch for the same price as a 4x6 inch card). The rate for postcards sent within the United State is increasing to 40-cents. If you send an odd shape, the non-machinable remains unchanged at 20-cents. (Note: Check with your post office - you may have to upgrade to first class postage 58-cents, AND THEN add the 20-cent non-machinable surcharge if you are sending a round card or something else other than strictly postcard size). IF YOU SEND YOUR CARDS BEFORE AUGUST 29TH, 2021, YOU CAN AVOID THE PRICE INCREASE!!

REMINDER Please contact your swap partner first to try to work out any issues. If the two of you can't get things back on track, then let me know and I'll see what I can do.

This is a Cardboard Postcard swap (CBPC). You will send one postcard. Do not use an envelope.

The postcard should be made out of ANY kind of reused cardboard saved from the trash/recycling. Please use only CLEAN cardboard. Additional decoration is sender's choice, and is strictly optional - only a chunk o' cardboard is required. Please include a short message to your partner - it's optional, but more fun don't you think?

The maximum postcard size which can be sent for the first class letter rate is 6-1/8" x 11-1/2" (USA only - international rules may vary).

The maximum postcard size which can be sent for the postcard rate is 4-1/4" x 6" (USA only - international rules may vary). If you have any questions, please PM me - I don't check the comments often.

Some Housekeeping Info

Thanks so much for joining my swaps! It's a lot fun for me. They've grown in size to the point where I need to take some steps to control the amount of time that it takes to manage them. I want to keep it light-hearted. Please remember what's at stake here is a few pieces of cardboard (or anything close to it), so don't overthink it!

• This is not a Profile Swap The Chunk O Cardboards swaps are Senders Choice. In order to prevent issues, you might be removed from the swap if your profile includes special requirements that are potentially incompatible.

• Communicate Communicate Communicate Please contact your swap partner first to try to work out any issues. If you have a question or problem, please let your partner know and give them a chance to respond. If you can't resolve the issue, then let me know and I'll do what I can to help work it out.

• Senders Please send your items on time and remember to mark your swap as "sent". Please let your partner know if you are going to send late. Many swappers won't mind a bit of delay as long as you keep people informed. Before assigning partners for future swaps, I will remove anyone has not marked an item "sent" for a previous swap. If you want to be in the next swap, then send your items and mark them as sent.

• Recipients Please contact your swap partner first to try to work out any issues. If you haven't received anything a week or two after the swap deadline, please let your partner know. If you still don't receive an item (or a satisfactory response), leave a "1" rating then contact me to send an angel replacement. Accurate ratings are the only way I can weed out unreliable senders from future swaps. And that's good for everyone.
