Postcrossing Blog

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for… the anniversary video!

This year, we received over 400 photos from all corners of the world, and we are in awe of all your smiles and amazing postcards!
Each time we watch this video, we’re reminded of how truly global the project is, and of the power that simple things have to brighten up our days.

Ladies and gentlemen, here’s the video you made!

Thank you all, you’re awesome!

We apologize if your photo is missing – a few photos were too small to be featured, but don’t worry, your name was still entered in the lottery.

So, without further ado, the 3 lucky winners (chosen by Paulo’s random number generator) are:

SjuElen, who won The World’s Smallest Post Service kit, and DinisMiguel and klyava’s son, who both won a set of Playmobil Little Mail Carriers. Congratulations!

Didn’t make it this time? Don’t worry – we have a few more contests lined up for the Summer! :)

Happy Postcrossing!

Un-be-lie-va-ble! Four million smiles spread in postcards around the world! Even our little mail carriers are thrilled!

Well done to all postcrossers, each and every one of you contributed to this milestone. You’re amazing!

So, we know you’re all itching to know more about this super postcard, so, without further ado here it goes:

The four millionth postcard received through Postcrossing traveled from JS1980 in Czech Republic to scheppie in The Netherlands. Lovely postcard, isn’t it?

Nobody guessed the correct countries this time… so only the sender and the receiver will receive a coupon for a 60 postcard pack from MOO.

Remember that until April 15th, MOO is offering all postcrossers a 15% discount on the purchase of any pack of postcards (20 or 60), with the code POSTCROSSING15. Enjoy!

Now… shall we start counting to 5 million? :)

PS – thank you Yvi-1 for the cute picture with our wandering mail carriers!

When the Postcrossing project was launched 4 years ago, no one would guess that it could ever reach one million postcards. But it did, and, we have just reached 3 times that! What a milestone! Three million postcards! Three million connections! Three million smiles! We couldn’t be prouder of being part of this project.

And, this couldn’t be reached without every single member of Postcrossing, so a big thank you to you all for making it happen!

But, we know many of you are anxiously waiting to know who were the lucky members that exchanged this special postcard. So without further delays:

The postcard 3 million travelled from arjakos in Finland, to klemko in Slovenia! Congratulations to both for being part of such an important milestone in Postcrossing!

And, finally, congratulations Sara-Gandalf (from Slovenia!) – you are the lucky winner of our contest by being the first to guess correctly the countries involved on this unique postcard.

The winner of the contest, the sender and receiver of the postcard 3 million will receive aerogrammes packs kindly offered by the folks behind Int’l Girl Aerogrammes. If you aren’t one of the the lucky ones, be sure to check their website – their aerogrammes are designed with love, come in different languages and are printed in recyclable paper. Each aerogramme is a little piece of art that takes your message directly to those you love. Can you tell how much we love them?

Shall we start the countdown to the postcard 4 million? :)

If you didn’t notice yet, we are just a few thousand postcards away for reaching the postcard 3 million in Postcrossing!

Little over 6 months ago we could hardly believe we were celebrating 2 million Postcrossing postcards. And now, we are already speeding through another million – can you believe it?

As always, we like to celebrate this important milestones of the project with you, and this time is no exception. And a party without gifts is hardly a party so, we have something special to offer!

The lovely people behind Int’l Girl Aerogrammes have generously offered a few of their cool Aerogrammes to celebrate the 3,000,000 postcards. An Aerogramme is a letter that folds up into is own envelope – this is perfect for mail junkies such as ourselves, and theirs are specially cute. So what do you do to get one of these Aerogrammes packs? Read on.

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post with your best guess about from which country will the postcard 3 million be sent from and where it will go to (example: From Singapore to Brazil). Simple, right? The first to guess it correctly will be the winner of a pack of Int’l Girl Aerogrammes! Only one guess per person is allowed! We will announce the details of the lucky postcard when it gets registered.

Oh, and both the sender and receiver of that magic postcard 3 million will also receive Aerogramme packs, so be sure to keep your pen busy!

PS: If you hang out on the forum, be sure to check this related thread for more ways to celebrate this milestone!

Postcrossing headquarters is cheerfully celebrating this incredible milestone of 2 million received postcards! :) Thank you so much for making this possible through your lovely postcards!

Of course you’re all itching to know who were the lucky members that exchanged this special postcard, so here’s the screenshot of the action:

Postcard 2 million travelled from Muffins in Germany, to coveralls1 in Norway!

Congratulations to these 2 members! And despite the many tries nobody guessed the countries. We’ll be organizing another contest soon to give that prize away.
