Sorry for creating the swap a bit later than usual; I wanted to complete all my pending swaps first.

QUESTIONS and FEEDBACK on this swap are WELCOME and APPRECIATED

BEFORE JOINING

Message me if you don't meet the following criteria:

Must have completed at least 10 total swaps with at least 10 ratings.

Must have completed at least one type 2/3 swap with rating in the last 12 months OR at least one type 1 swap in the last 6 months.

WHAT IS THE SWAP?

IRPC means international random postcard

EVERYTHING IS SENDER'S CHOICE. Of course, it's nice, and feel free to check your partner's profile, if you want to.

Take a random NEW and STORE-BOUGHT postcard.

The LEFT half of the postcard should have : • the date of writing, • the swap name, • YOUR PERSONAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THE LATEST WEEK and • your swap-bot username

You can treat it as a shared journal entry for the week, especially if you have limited time, AND/OR Just a reason to share your week with someone.

The RIGHT half of the postcard should have : • the address of your assigned partner, • the appropriate denomination stamp for airmail to their country

Communication is key. If there is any delay/issue, please message the concerned user.

BE KIND:

• If you receive a postcard from your partner, you must rate a 5. • Enjoy the interaction/message. Your partner shared their week with you. It's nice to hear from someone. • Snail mail, especially international, IS unpredictable. Keep that in mind.

IF SWAP IS NOT RECEIVED

The window for receiving the original (not resend) postcard is 3 months.

• ALL RECEIVING USERS: After 3 months, if you do not receive and if you are not satisfied, message your partner and AFTER doing that, inform me as well.

• ALL SENDING USERS: Photos of the front and the back of the written-on/Final version of the postcard (if saved) can sent via email to your partner who has not received, after your partner lets you know they haven't received from you.

You can resend a postcard or email your partner with the weekly highlights of the latest week.
