Any news on the address?

 

Canada Post just went on strike (:tongue:) so the sooner I send mine the better a chance of it ever getting through during any timeframe.

^^ I think we will know on nov 21 :-)

 

I see that envelopes are approbed but not encouraged though this is my idea: Since we would only have one month to send this and the mail services in our third world countries suck, I will send mine as registered/insurance mail which is more expensive but more secure and I think it reaches England in a couple of weeks but I dont think they allow postcards as registered/insurance. SO I was thinking on puttting both of them in an envelope but to print the logo of the project somewhere in the envelope to point out this is part of the proyect even though it doesnt look like a postcard itself. And that ´s my suggestion for all those who live in third world countries especially in Mexico, to send it as registered/insurance. It will be a couple of dollars extra but believeme, there are more chances for this to reach England in time and actually to go there...

 

is that ok? what do you think about the idea?

oh by the way,I´m going to ask to my postal office if transparent envelopes are allowed, I think it would be better if they are in transparent envelopes right?

if you feel strongly about it, we're not going to stop you. however, i would think as long as you send it airmail AS SOON AS WE GET THE ADDRESS and don't wait a couple days, you should be fine without insuring it and without envelopes :wink:. however, i know nothing about mexican postal service :P

oh ok!

^^ haha, indeed... you are soo innocent and spoiled by your post service... bless your heart... :-P

 

I have lost like a hundred of dollars in things that were sent by me and sent to me and when I have gone to the postal office to ask for it, they basically say:

 

Tell me the number of the register please...

Me: I dont have it, It was sent through the regular air mail service

They: then I can´t do nothing, sorry...

ME: But they are importnat and expensive stuff!!

They: **roll eyes** Why didnt you send them registered?

Me: Cause is expensive!

THey: We can do nothing then...

ME: *curses the heaven and the stupidity of the mexican post service**

 

So you see, is hast to be registered or registered, hahah... seriously, is the only way, at least in Mexico...

I found these cute things that are postcards that have a pocket that you can put a picture in, then seal it up and mail it like a regular postcard! I couldn't believe it-- and I found one with butterflies on it, so it's perfect! :)

oh i have a question! it's silly.

 

i've never sent a postcard so don't make fun of me.

 

where do we put the return address (our address)?

 

oh. nevermind!! i read. :P

i'm stuck.

 

in my p.s. i want to say something short and sweet about coldplaying.com but i cant think of anything that doesn't sound stupid.

 

plus, i barely have any room. :P

 

help!

I will print my card today, and the logos, I already bought the other one like 3 weeks ago but I havent put anything on them cause I have no idea what to write... as usual, I will leave the preasure to inspire me.. :-P

haha, glad you saw :D. postcards don't have return addresses. there isn't room for one, and even if you made room for it, the PO would get really confused and might not send your card to the right address.

i don't know, i don't think it should be like "visit coldplaying.com" or anything like that. perhaps say something about how you never would have met all us awesome people if it wasn't for coldplay? :P

haha, you can really do whatever you want in terms of design, as long as the logo's somehwhere on it and it fits the proper size :D. we're not trying to control everyone and be fascists about this--we're just trying to be efficient and as uniform as possible :D.

 

short answer: yes, of course that's fine :smiley:

I can't make my card to a post office on the 21st. I hope it isn't too late to send it the 24th? :(

so... am i correct that these cards should reach their destination by christmas?

which means i can still send my card at the beginning of december? :thinking:

you don't have to send your postcards in the 21st.. you can send it whenever you can (between estimated dates that we don't have yet :P ) , so don't worry :)

oh okay, you dont have the dates yet - that's all i wanted to know. because i couldn't find them ;)

thanks! :kiss:

debs said that we'll have the address this friday.. hope she'll send the email then :D

oh we don't have them yet, i thought that i just couldn't find them. thanks :)

but i'm not worried of sending card on the 21st, i'll post it after the weekend then! :)

just get the cards in the mail as soon as you possibly can :D. all should be well, assuming you don't wait too too long. i can't get mine in the mail until the 26th, but just try to do it ASAP :D.

I'm super excited for this project!!!

I can't wait til tomorrow!!!

Coldplayers unite! :P

 

Peace and Love!!!
