How PostTrotters Works

A simple global exchange of handwritten postcards: receive an address, send a postcard, and confirm when yours arrives.

Step 1

Get Address & Write Postcard

You receive a random postal address from another user in the system. Take your time to write a meaningful, personal, or simple postcard.

Step 3

Confirm Postcard Receipt

When your postcard arrives, confirm its receipt using the postcard ID. This completes the exchange and helps keep the community trustworthy. Receipt confirmations are an essential part of the exchange process and have a significant impact on both your trust rating and the sender's.

Please remember to complete this step.
