I didn't plan to post another question, but I was puzzled by the mail that was waiting for me when I got home from work today.
I've only been doing Postcrossing for two months, and I'm hoping to hear from some of the long-term postcrossers out there about something that was sent to me.
This is part of the mail sent to me by a postcrosser from Belarus:

On the other side of the letter is a picture of DKNY perfume and a Louis Vuitton mirror case from Sephora.
I should mention that she did include both a card and a postcard (plus a few stickers) in the envelope:
Before I register the "postcard" I want to know if this is something I should respond to in my optional message to the sender.
Have you ever gotten anything like this through Postcrossing?
Thanks :)

I've been a Postcrosser from the beginning and I've never gotten anything like this, but it doesn't surprise me. I would suggest registering the card, without comment other than a simple thank you, and then bringing the correspondence to the attention of the Postcrossing administrators, http://www.postcrossing.com/contact
ReplyDeleteThe things we learn from reading others blogs!
ReplyDeleteI agree with PostMuse. Long time Postcrosser too and have never received anything like that.
ReplyDeleteI once received an envelope with a postcrossing card and stuffed with "postcard games" (that's how the sender called it). There were addresses and wish lists, but not only for postcards, but also other stuff too. It looked a lot like chain letters except that you should not only send a letter or a card, but gifts. I just ignored all the "games" and simply registered the card with a simple thank you.
ReplyDeleteI would just thank her for the postcard.
ReplyDeleteI have received some postcards with messages asking for swaps, but I don't do private swaps, so say "thank you for the nice postcard" and left it at that.
