Oh, today I've wasted a lot of paint but my card is almost ready ;)

hey Guys :) I know that at least 2 people already sent their cards, it's great to see so much interest but please be patient and wait at least some days to send the card :P

The person I have is legitimately getting a box with a gift. I'm hoping that'll make one happy Coldplayer :D.

A box ? Wow you're a nice guy :nice:

 

When should we send the cards Lore ? Beginning of december ?

I don't know, you should try to send the card in time so your partner will receive it some days before christmas

 

from here to Europe it takes around 3 weeks I think so I'm sending mine the last week of november, I hope I'll find some time to make the card :bomb:

The German post / mail website where you can check how long it takes to send something from Germany as well as to Germany is here:

Letter Transit Times

me too, im going to make it very New York christmassyish

 

That was my first thought :D. I'm happy you're going through with it! It was too much of a risk for me to be able to get something from the city next time I'm there considering I don't know what level of Christmasification they'll be at hehe! Hope it works out well!!!

thanks :D I'll add both links to the first post :)

As we said in our Match-up mails, you should speak to someone at your local post office regarding how long it will take for your card to get there.

 

As for the situation in the UK, the postal strike is over, although they are still working their way through a backlog of mail

 

Couldn't find a any advice about how long it takes to send mail from the UK, but maybe someone else will find it, the website is: http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm

Just for french people :

 

Pour les français voici la page où vous trouverez les infos pour vos envois ! (http://www.laposte.fr/courrierinternational/index.php?id=144)

 

L'index avec tous les pays et leurs particularités : http://www.laposte.fr/courrierinternational/index.php?id=135

 

The rest of the world :

 

Since France it's necessary to count one week for all the sendings towards the international!

I also read that it was necessary to count the same deadline since the USA for a simple postcard.

That's fantastic!

 

Lore, can you add that link to the first post? :kiss:

 

:elf:

To be honest, I'm a little doubt that my card will reach, because I never sent mail on such distance. But I think, we should agree not to open our cards even if the card will come to the coldplayer in two months or more. As we see in Ameli movie, the letter is pleasant for receiving even in 25 years)

I don't understand. Why don't you send mail far away ? It doesn't take months to get it but only a few days. For instance, if i send a letter to the US it takes 4 days and I live in France. I don't think it will take any longer if you send it further, it's the same.

Q. We shouldn't read the card or whatever we will receive until 25 th December, right?Even if it comes much earlier? Or I misunderstood smth?
