Now that I'm fully engaged with #postcrossing, I buy #postcards every time I see them. Yesterday I bought two from Leavenworth, WA.

I sent out five postcards the other day and I am waiting for them to get checked in. Oddly, only one of the addresses that came up was outside the US (Japan). I'm wondering if the system is set up so users don't have to pay international postage when they send out more than one card at a time. Anyone know?

@mlanger I know there are account settings for "send cards to my own country" and "prefer to have multiple cards going to the same country at once" so maybe you have both of those checked?

@thegiddystitcher I'm thinking I did set up something goofy in settings. I will investigate. Thanks!

@thegiddystitcher That's what it was! I misunderstood what the setting was. I didn't realize that it would concentrate on just the US. I thought it just enabled multiple postcards in transit. I turned it off. Thanks again!

@mlanger I read up on it before deciding to tick it, I think it doesn't concentrate on your country specifically it's just that the US is such a big population of postcrossers there's likely to always be a lot of their addresses waiting for a match.

Something like that, anyway, I'm only on my 5th card I'm not exactly an expert 😅

@thegiddystitcher I've sent a total of six but five were just recently sent and have not been checked in yet. I received one, from the US. I'm really hoping to get more from overseas.

@mlanger Ooh the wait for them to get to their destination always feels so long! Fingers crossed for happy mail soon :)

@thegiddystitcher Well, with four of them going to addresses in the US, I shouldn't have to wait long. Really looking forward to starting a flurry of activity with cards coming and going every week. I'm such a nerd. 🤣
