UNESCO Postcards.

Hey there!

I just tried to send four postcards and was only able to draw two addresses (although I tried nearly all German UNESCO WHS + four Dutch WHS (as I will be there coming weekend). Does anyone else have the same problem?

Of course I could choose foreign cards I still have to send (with German stamps), but that is not really wished here on the website. I know you can choose to receive a WHS multiple times, but that probably won't change the problem.

Does anyone else think that some people will not use this website for long time as there are so few options to send cardd?!

Have a nice Sunday! :D

Sometimes it helps to try a bit later again. Not sure of the algorythm here.

Yes, I think the still ongoing issue is that quite some people sign in, send a few cards and then kinda forget about this webpage again thus the people to choose from are not that many here

Hi Marcel, not a good idea to delete all items. It´s the first time I had to cancel an exchange as ist was the third time I got your address on the same item I have only one card from...

I love this great website, but unfortunately, it's often impossible to send cards because there are no available addresses. Let's make it possible together so we can send each other more cards through this fantastic website! Go to "Postcard Exchanges" on the left and then to "Items" in the top right corner. Delete the received cards and receive a new one from that region!

Unfortunately, it still happens often. Just tried again, no available partners but 9 open slots for me.. this problem is ongoing for sooo long now and still no solution found 🥴

Again, a lot of slots open for me. Could only pull 1 address...really frustrating 😔

Poor me, I thought I was the only one...I am in the same sad situation

Every now and then I experience the same. It's gotten a lot better though. I'm pretty sure the issue is still the same: not too many active members.

Since a few days, this is again happening...more than enough open slots for me but no available partners, no matter what site in Germany I am choosing :(

@catlover ... I have not asked for new addresses since a few days.

@Xiaoi, do you have the impression it got better during the past like 2 or 3 weeks?
I would say so, so fingers crossed that we are all able to send lovely cards :)

Thanks for everyone's replies. So we just have to wait until there are some more (active) members. Let us wait and see. ;)

The main reason is the number of members. There are 41 active members. 24 that registered but never requested to send a postcard and 21 that have cards in progress (5 members from the last 7 days).

I'll try to see how I can help those that did not requested an address yet. Maybe they don't know that they have to send first or they were just courious about the club.

It seems that there are members that register but not all send postcards. It's the same in other clubs too. Some will register just to check. I don't know how I can help those to actually send a postcard.

I just posted in 2 of my facebook groups to promote and hopefully get a few new members here...fingers crossed 🥳

Well, it´s still a good idea to promote this site - every postcrossing profile I read with an interest in UNESCO I send a link to this :-)

Same here....unpatiently wait to send, enough slots available 🙈

Ah, okay. So we have to wait and see if enough people sign up here, so that we can send and receive cards. ;)

I always run into this problem. It's not because of the site you choose (at the moment), but because of the limited number of users I guess. I have received far more cards than were registered so far and looking at other people's stats, it's the same for them.

I often try to draw an address multiple times a day (after someone registered a card) and hope to be lucky and get an address ;)

Edit, I only could draw 1 address.
