To obtain the commemorative postcard for the UPU's 150th anniversary, visit your local post office, or reach out to your Post’s online shop or customer service.
Do you live far from a post office? Is your postal administration not participating in this initiative? We have the solution: download the postcard below, have it printed and send it off in October to celebrate the 150 years of the UPU!
Register at postcrossing.com and receive the address of a registered recipient… Mail your maxicard and have it circulating all over the world between you and the more than 800k other postcrossers!
Founded in 2005, Postcrossing’s goal is to allow everyone to send and receive postcards from around the world! The idea is simple: for every postcard you send, you will receive one in return from a postcrosser somewhere in the world.
Receiving postcards from different places in the world (many of which you probably have never heard of!) can turn your mailbox into a box of surprises — and who wouldn't like that?
As part of the 150th anniversary of the Universal Postal Union's celebrations, Postcrossing, the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP) and the UPU are excited to launch a major international event: “A MAXIMUM CARD FOR MAXIMUM WORLDWIDE FUN”
For 9 October – the UPU’s founding date, celebrated as World Post Day – the IB has decided to launch this ambitious new partnership with Postcrossing. This initiative will benefit the wider philatelic ecosystem, helping to achieve even greater visibility for philately and boost cooperation and development in this area.
