Description:

Send your one partner an oversized or panoramic PC from anywhere. EDIT---no free/ad or handmade

By oversized. I do not mean a PC that just barely crosses into a first class 49 cent stamp, such as 5x7. That is too small. 5x7 is regular sized, even though it takes 49 cents

For this swap will include:

  • oversized larger than 5x7 inches

  • panoramic style where the length is significantly longer than the width or height. This one the width can be 5 or less inches but the length really needs to be a minimum of 8 inches.

For example, but not limited to, these are the dimensions, in inches of the oversized and panoramic PCS I currently have in my stash: 3.75x10, 3.5x8, 6.5x9, 5.5x8, 4x9, 4x10, 6x8, 6.5x8.8. I also used to have one that folded, like a postalette, but opened into a panoramic. That is also an acceptable style.

USA only, min 4.98 rating, all 3s and 1s need to be explained and 1s made up if possible. I check all profiles and will remove if I deem necessary. I will Angel if you need to end up rating a 1 and have communicated with your partner.

some oversized/panoramic may cost more than 49 cents-

it is possible some may cost 71 cents or even 98 cents! Take it to the PO to find out if you're unsure. Larger than 6 18 x 11.5 will be an issue, not rectangular could be an issue-such as a funny shape. Your partner does not want to pay to receive their mail!

Image is a panoramic I sent myself this summer!

Can it be an ad card? Thx

What about irregular shaped larger postcards!?

EmilyT 04/ 8/2016 #

Sorry for my slow response, I hadn't checked back here until just now!

@marinda I didn't want an ad card for this-but I think I also have several oversized ad cards-that would be a fun swap on its own!

@washingtonmaverick irregular shaped large cards are great!!

Those are the ones I'm not sure if the 71cents postage is enough or not? Anyone know? I did try it out and sent my mom and Nana an irregular, oversized, and used a 71cent postage. Neither were asked to pay more but that is no guarantee, as we all know. I have to go into the PO either tomorrow or Monday, I should bring one and get my postage cost question answered.

Postage went down a little also

Yay. I bought more stamps because of that
