Hi, I live in Canada and on October 9th is also Thanksgiving but the post-office is open for a couple hours and I will send a couple cards away and give the post-office person a flower. Yes, that's what I do on World Post Day,
Cheers, Anneke

In the US, they are celebrating Columbus Day, which is actually Indigenous Peoples day. No postal service!

On Mondays there is no mail delivery in the Netherlands. But I can send mail!

Hi, iwont do the same as Flippie, i find it good and give the post-office person some flower !
Thanks Flippie and meiadeleite!

Columbus Day is the official title and acknowledge by the federal government. Indigenous peoples day is only recognized by a few municipalities.

I do not know much about World Post Day(世界郵便の日) in Japan.
Today the second Monday in October is Health-Sports Day (holiday)💃.
Happy Monday🎉

I am from malaysia and we celebrate the day with one set of postcard and first day covers

Sometimes I have complained about the post office, but honestly, when I think about the fact that when people left Boston or the east coast to come west, knowing they would probably never see their families again, what it must have been like to receive an actual letter.

Couldn't do anything with the Post Office on Oct. 9th. It was the Columbus Day holiday here and the US Postal Serviced was closed.

A fine day to have World Post Day on a day when the US Postal Service that delivers nearly half the world's mail is closed!

I have sent some postcards and when I come home from my holidays I will see the postcards that I have received....😊

can someone whos country celebrate send me a special cancelled stamps or special cards...??

This 2017 year makes celebrating Universal Postal Union Anniversary even more profound.. It's almost like New Years Eve or roasting smores over a campfire the anticipation intensifies as I become eager towards the countdown of postcrossing.

- the friday befór 9 oktober,
I already put a thank-you-card at my frontdoor
for the postwoman,
taped in plastic by the rainy autumnstorms :-);
(on mondays there are no deliveries
in the NETHERLANDS), that's why -
the POSTWOMAN always likes the guestures
on such days and in the time of x-mas -
and also the young MAN on saterdays :-)

- and POST.NL herself ?
she had an announcement ...
that in 2018 the stamps will cost even móre (again) ...

- most of the time I take my names / adresses
just when I know that I will go to neighbour gérmany
to visit our youngest son, his wife and their babydaughter -
germany is much cheaper
than the netherlands ...
(almost 35 % on cards and letters
- and packages even about 60 %) ...

nevertheless :
I wish everyone the opportunity
to continue the nice and stimulating communication
with other people worldwide by postcrossing -

THANK YOU POSTMEN & - WOMEN !!!

and YOU : watch your mailbox :-)

It's nice to celebrate post crossing day

There was a special stamp issue in Singapore on the official opening of the General Post Office of Singapore on World Post Day October 9, 2017. I received these two postcards from Singapore postcard collectors. https://smspostcard.blogspot.my/2017/10/i-visited-new-singapore-general-post.html
