LOOKING FOR

postcards from missing states. Kindly see list below

A BIG SHIPPING FAVOR

Hello friends! If you're going to send something through the mail, kindly send it ordinary, and not registered. This will make things easier for me. Postage rates have increased here, and parcels are now being taxed if they have a customs form. It is very expensive to claim a parcel since the cost can also allow me to send one abroad. I have indeed have received big packages and parcels without registration, and they have made it safely.

Thank you for understanding dear swapper :)

Before you rate a 1, it will be nice if you'll let me know first that you didn't received from me.. so that I can resend. Thank you!

Hello!

My name is Joelle Abigail... Joelle at school, and Abby at home.

Swapbot is one of the sites that I often visit several times a week. It's really addicting.

It's my delight when you treat me as your daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, or even a friend. It just makes me feel warm inside.

I call older females with the title "Tita", which literally means Aunt.Reason

Reading is one of my favorite hobby. I got interested at a young age, primarily because of my father who always reads the newspapers.

Favorite authors are Dr. Jose Rizal, Nicholas Sparks, Sidney Sheldon, Mitch Albom, and more!

I am also a member of Bookcrossing and Bookmooching... having the same username I have here in Swap-bot.

Mail from the Philippines oftenly takes 2 to 8 weeks to arrive. A week is fast enough, and if that happens, I'm just amazed.

Mail to the Philippines takes around 2 weeks to 6 weeks, depending if it's registered, and on the season. During Christmas time, it takes about 2 months for them to arrive. Nevertheless, don't worry about them being so long, I get books and some big envelopes safe even without registration, but not that I'm saying it's a guarantee.

I also send via Surface Air Mail sometimes, except for postcards. It's an experiment of mine to see how long does Surface Air reaches to your country.

I mail my mail in two to three batches per month. Usually in the first week and in the last week. It's somehow difficult for me to visit the post office.

I might feature your mail sent to me in my blog. Click here
