December 12, 2012 {12-12-12} PC Swap

Are online stores ok?

@ Barbi I think that's fine.

So, this PC needs to be a storebought Vintage Tourist card, correct?

@MissPaula It can be one or the other or all, just no handmade, free/ad cards.

what does hand cancled mean? sorry hehe Im kind of slow haha

Is it vintage and touristy or vintage or touristy?

@zombiina hand cancelled means, you have your postal worker stamp the date on your card, so just ask your postal worker to hand cancel please.

@julie0909 either or, just 1 card to be sent out, & no free/ ad card or hand made.

Can I ask that whoever gets me address it to my son? That happens to be his 3rd birthday and I think it would be really cool for him :} His name is Sullivan- if not that's ok too- never hurts to ask!

I did send these out on the 12, they were all hand stamped in front of me. I just have not been on here until now to mark them sent

Maybe I'm being bitchy, but I think its only fair to say that you should really read the description of the swap before clicking on the agree button when you sign up and if you went in to have them hand cancelled, to insist they do so. They can only wait on one customer at a time and you are just as important. My post office was busy too, so I made a second trip. And I sent three PCs instead of one to make sure I fulfilled my swap. My pc wasn't hand cancelled and the post mark is simply a blur of ink. I was counting on mine for a special scrapbook for my six year old. I got no reply from the coordinator of the swap a "sounds like it happened to others too, but since I'm being called on it ... how do you want me to fix it" from my partner. Any suggestions from others how to fix this? Or should I just got ahead with the three?

I can sort of angel for this swap ... I'd be happy to send anyone who got a badly cancelled card a hand cancelled (with the date 12-12-12) postcard in an envelope. I cannot send it naked through the mail because of the date. It will be cancelled with my mailer's postmark stamp. If the denomination of the stamp on the PC is not relevant to you I can use a small denomination stamp of a few cents to save a little postage money.

If you want to send me a postcard of any kind in return I would happily accept it.

Oh and it's unlikely I will check here often if you want my offer please send me a private message.

I'm glad to hear others had this problem too. I don't think it's fair not to have it hand canceled as it's specific to the directions. I was surprised to find mine not hand-canceled as well as disappointed.
