Postcard Exchange Rant...

This exchange is no longer available.

Recently I accepted a request to help a troop in Virginia exchange postcards with a troop from every state. I spent over a week looking for postcards from Arkansas because apparently people don't send postcards anymore. I finally found some in an obscure truckstop 30 miles away and bought every one they had for future exchanges. Then I sent it and never heard anything... and never heard anything... Did they get it? Where is ours? Hmmm.

The post had disappeared from the Facebook group I first responded to. Good thing I took a screenshot so I wouldn't lose the address. So I typed in the lady's name and messaged her. Yeah, she got it, thanks. The girls are so excited, great. Here's a picture of them checking the mailbox, bye.

So, where is OUR postcard? Newsflash, ladies. You can't wear the patch for the postcard exchange! I won't let you! You didn't exchange postcards - you used me and now you owe me a buck for the postcard plus postage because you didn't reciprocate. Thanks alot.

So word to the wise, spell out the terms clearly when you negotiate these "trades". I'm actually not messed up over the money, but I do feel disappointed. I have tried 2 years in a row to sign up for the Postcard Exchange and they no longer do it. They haven't even updated their website in forever.

Rant over.

We are actually open to postcard exchanges if anyone is interested, but it must be a trade. I mean, I have like 10 postcards just waiting to be sent to some deserving troop or individual girl that wants to make new friends.

Until next time...
