Description:

2016 is a leap year, and Leap day is Feb 29th 2016.

My 26 year old son is getting married Leap Day, Feb 29th 2016 to a great gal. I also collect postcards, and would like a few cards with this exact date on the postmark. I also thought that this couple might like a memento of this date for future anniversaries.

For this swap you will have 3 postcard partners, and if you choose to do a RAOK, you can also send a postcard of well wishes to the happy new couple, hopefully the Postcard is also postmarked FEB 29th 2016.

Riayn and Troy, 1401 E. McKinley ST., Phoenix, AZ 85006

This swap is USA only, and is for those who can go to the PO on Feb 29th and assure that their cards are being postmarked FEB 29th, 2016. The best way to do this is to hand the cards to the worker and kindly ask if they can hand cancel them for this important date. Most workers will gladly accommodate our quirky postal weirdness.

If you know for a fact that your PO isnt that accommodating this is not the swap for you.

This swap is not going to work well for those who need to leave their mail in an outgoing box with no real assurance on the date they may be processed.

The postcard is senders choice. I can not angel this swap because of course the date will have passed.

Be careful, you must be able to get to the PO on FEB 29th to meet the standards of this swap.

A mostmark that is NOT readable can happen, and that does not mean you can give your sender a 3. A postmark that is not FEB 29th may result in a poor rating. Please dont sign up if you tend of have a life that is full of drama.

I stood in line and watched them hand stamp my postcards. SO they are good to go. Happy Leap Day!

Here's my fun post office story. The first one I went to refused to cancel my postcards. The guy canceled the packages I brought in (that already had stamps, I just wanted tracking), and he stamped the stamp on a plain piece of paper to show me the date, but completely refused to stamp the postcards!! The second post office cancelled the postcards, but didn't let me take a picture of them cancelled -- something my usual PO let's me do. So stressful! I hope none of them get lost in the mail! @AZmom875 - I sent on to Riayn and Troy too. :)

I got 2 of the 3 cards today. The postmark was good.

USER, I understand the drama with the PO. I had to convince the PO to stamp my cards. Luckily I was also doing a Hand cancelled envelope. The worker reluctantly agreed after another worker convinced her it was ok.

I received 2 out of 3 cards and they were stamped correctly! I had no issue getting mine stamped at the PO. He was really nice to me. I was also sending a parcel to France which cost me $22.50, so I think he felt bad for me, haha

I received all 3 of my cards. Thanks to all of you for participating.

I received all 3 cards but 1 was not post marked on the 29th, but I don't want to give a bad rating. Do I gave to?
