Postcrossing blog

News, updates and all kind of goodies

4 000 000 postcards!! :D

4 million postcards

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:

4 million postcards

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!

Yes, we shall count down or in this case, count up to 5 million! Maybe in my lifetime, we'll have 1 billion postcards recorded here. That would be so cool! It's possible, right? If we continue to go at it! Why not? I'm not sure about the calculation of it, but it should be kept in track with all these numbers and statistics. Anyway, congratulations!
