ℹ️ Important Notice for Our U.S. Members: Postcards from Egypt

Dear Members,

Egypt is our #1 most requested postcard destination — not only because of its incredible history and culture, but also because of the challenge it represents. The Egyptian postal system is notoriously unreliable (Reports suggest that only about 30% of international letter mail arrives successfully), and this very difficulty has made Egypt the most sought-after country in our membership.

Unfortunately, sending postcards directly from Egypt to the United States has proven nearly impossible. Our records show that the last postcard to reach the U.S. from Egypt was back in 2019. Despite scouring internet sources, outreach on social media and forums, we have no confirmation of successful deliveries since this date (but many complaints of non-receipt).

✈️ Why This Happens

• Longstanding postal reliability issues in Egypt
• US embargoes of Egyptian mail following the Sinai plane crash
• Disruptions during COVID-19
• Issues caused by U.S. tariffs

💡 Our Solution

Because Egypt is so important to our members, we went the extra mile:

1. Postcards were written in Luxor, Egypt.
2. A carrier transported them to Hurghada, Egypt, where mail has a higher success rate to Europe.
3. From there, postcards were sent to our correspondent in Belgium.
4. Finally, the postcards will be forwarded to you in the U.S. inside an envelope.

This means your postcard will show a Belgian address, but rest assured — your postcard will have your name on it, a special message written just for you, Egyptian Stamp and Egyptian Postmark.

❤️ Our Commitment

We are absorbing significant costs to make this possible because we know how much Egypt means to our American members. If you are unhappy with the forwarding method, please contact us at support@80cards.com. We’ll gladly send you a replacement postcard from our next destination.

Thank you for your understanding and for being part of our global adventure.

Warm regards,

The Around the World in 80 Cards Team
