Should i change my country if living in USA?
Hi
I recently moved from Puerto Rico to Florida, and i want to start again trading postcards now that im all set here. The thing is that i will be
sending postcards from Puerto Rico since i have to travel every month to Puerto Rico for work. And i was wondering if i change my address to USA in
the postcrossing oficial, can i leave Puerto Rico as my country since i will be sending postcards from PR instead of Florida?

I think you could keep showing your residence as Puerto Rico, and also put an explanation ("I send cards from Puerto Rico but receive mail in
Florida") in your profile and sig.
I wonder how many Postcrossers are in a "dual-locality" situation like yours? I know some people have winter homes, but that's not the same.

Won't be accepted by Postcrossing.
The address has to be in the same country as the one the member is registered for.

No. Your address must match the country you are registered in.
USA address, USA country. |
