Please note that this is an INTERNATIONAL swap.

REMINDER Please contact your swap partner first to try to work out any issues. If the two of you can't get things back on track, then let me know and I'll see what I can do.

This is a Cardboard Postcard swap (CBPC). You will send one postcard. Do not use an envelope.

The postcard should be made out of ANY kind of reused cardboard saved from the trash/recycling. Please use only CLEAN cardboard. Additional decoration is sender's choice, and is strictly optional - only a chunk o' cardboard is required. Please include a short message to your partner - it's optional, but more fun don't you think?

The maximum postcard size which can be sent for the postcard rate is 4-1/4" x 6" (USA only - international rules may vary).

The maximum postcard size which can be sent for the first class letter rate is 6-1/8" x 11-1/2" (USA only - international rules may vary).

Thick or irregular-size postcards require extra postage. Please check with your post office so that your partner is not on the hook for postage due.

If you have any questions, please PM me - I don't check the comments often.

Some Housekeeping Info

Thanks so much for joining my swaps! It's a lot fun for me. They've grown in size to the point where I need to take some steps to control the amount of time that it takes to manage them. I want to keep it light-hearted. Please remember what's at stake here is a few pieces of cardboard (or anything close to it), so don't overthink it!

  • This is not a Profile Swap The Chunk O Cardboards swaps are Senders Choice. In order to prevent issues, you might be removed from the swap if your profile includes special requirements that are potentially incompatible.

  • Communicate Communicate Communicate Please contact your swap partner first to try to work out any issues. If you have a question or problem, please let your partner know and give them a chance to respond. If you can't resolve the issue, then let me know and I'll do what I can to help work it out.

  • Senders Please send your items on time and remember to mark your swap as "sent". Please let your partner know if you are going to send late. Many swappers won't mind a bit of delay as long as you keep people informed. Before assigning partners for future swaps, I will remove anyone has not marked an item "sent" for a previous swap. If you want to be in the next swap, then send your items and mark them as sent.

  • Recipients Please contact your swap partner first to try to work out any issues. If you haven't received anything a week or two after the swap deadline, please let your partner know. If you still don't receive an item (or a satisfactory response), leave a "1" rating then contact me to send an angel replacement. Accurate ratings are the only way I can weed out unreliable senders from future swaps. And that's good for everyone.

If you had previously participated in the Chunk-O-Cardboard US or Int'l swap, or perhaps are new to this swap, I wanted to let you know about the continuation/status.

The long-time host of this swap, Betsy Preston, passed away unexpectedly last month. After speaking with several people close to her, the collective decision was for me to honor her tradition by taking over the hosting duties for the US and International Chunk-o-Cardboard swaps moving forward.

As Betsy had done in the past, I will post the swaps in approximately six-month blocks, from Jan-June and from July-December to allow participants to sign up for several at a time. The August Chunk-O-Cardboard US and Int'l swaps are up, and I will be working on uploading the remainder of the 2023 Chunk swaps this week.

Betsy’s "voice", via the swap description, and notable “Tang” swap image, will remain unchanged.

I hope that you will help me honor her memory by continuing to participate in a simple swap that meant so much to her, as well as to so many within our community.

Best,

Rick (AzEkologi)

@AzEkologi Thank-you so much for choosing to host to keep this swap going! This has been one of my favourites since the first year I joined SB. I will miss seeing CBPCs from Betsy but I do think she would be pleased that she will be remembered here as we continue to make and send these special PCs:)
