Hi everyone! The info service of the post in Austria told me only “documents” are allowed to be sent to Russia, and that it excludes postcards. Only “real documents” such as letters. But according to postcrossing, there aren’t any restrictions like that. I sent my first cards in an envelope because of it, but I’m doubting if what I was told is true.

Is there anyone from Austria who has successfully sent cards without one? How do the rest of you from “unfriendly” European countries do it?

u/sweetp0tat0pancakes Thank you for your cute self-made garden card! It turned out so well! 🥕 Beautiful stamps too. Hope you’re receiving my card soon too :)

u/snoopickles3271 Thank you for the elephant card! They’re actually one of my favourite animals! 🐘 That Andromeda Galaxy stamp is so cool 🌌 And your handwriting is so neat, I wish mine looked like that. Hope you’re receiving the card from Croatia soon - I’m sorry, because I was travelling I couldn’t decorate it as nicely as you did.
