Used stamps exchanges.

Hi ! I have a question: is it normal that I've sent 67 lots and received only 54 ??? Since one month and a half, I send lots regularly, like usually, and I received just few ones... How can I know who is supposed to send me stamps and didn't ? Thanks to answer...

To send a registered letter may be very expensive sometimes....

We should all collectors send registered letters and would be much less received no letters. This is my thinking.

sent 43 / received 34 9-???

Lipp is right about the difference in sent/received letters. Things also have slowed down recently because of fewer new members. There are new members but not enough for the very active members. If you don't get an address it means that you have sent to all the members that currently have slots. New members are indeed needed. Thank you for promoting this project.

About the members ranking list, I have made a change to only display members that have logged in in the last year. The number dropped to 100 because of an error. I have corrected this.
The active members displayed in the front page is the number of members that have sent at least one letter (that is registered) in the last 3 months.

Danibius has certainly taken away nonactive ones.

It's very good LukeDenmark you wrote about 100stamps Club on your pages! I have written about it on my Facebook page.
There were over 180 names on the member list some day ago, now only under 100. I think only active ones are left there!

I agree that we should get more members (it might be a bit hard to get in the summer time). I have a Danish HomePage about stamps where I have write about 100stamps.club and I also write about it at my postcrossing profile. Hopefully that will get some new members :-)
PS the confirmations mail from 100stamps.club ended in my spamfilter/junk mail - that could be a problem that people think it's some kind of scam.

i was also surprised to see some of you guys have so many more sent that received ...i have 83 sent (in reality i have sent 6 more but they are on their way...) and 86 received so it is quite in balance. right now there are no available partners for me either as i tried to take an address...

I have sent 105 lots and received 99. 2 of my lots are travelling. Now I seem not to have any available partners I could send stamps to. New members would be needed to 100 stamps club! :)

Could explain the sending and receiving of envelopes, Thank you Lipp

I have 5 lots "in transit". One definitely lost. I have lost recently sendings inland, I dont know what happens.
Regarding the speed, the answer, Marleen, I think is this: if you send faster than you receive, for instance, if you send in one or two days, but the average is 10 days, so, you will accumulate sendings.
If you suddenly stop sending, probably you will have more receptions than sendings in one month or so, but, on the other hand you will have to wait one more month to receive more envelopes.
The conclusion is the system has it´s own speed, no matter your speed is. If you go faster than the average, you will have always deficit, but receive more regularly, if you go slower, in the beggining you will receive more, but after that, the system will balance, and you will receive less. Martine case is she is always sending fast, so, she will always have six sending backwards, if she slows the sendings, she will balance, but she will receive less envelopes in the long term.
It is my impression. Maybe Danubius can explain more...

Three weeks ago I sent three lots to Canada (one of them are for you Martine) but, only one of them have arrived yet. I really hope they are not lost and that it will come to you soon :-)

My situation

Lots sent: 32
Lots received: 26
Lots in progress: 4

IT-152 for Portugal 113 days (not registered)
IT-134 for Germany 95 days (not registered)
IT-152 for Netherlands 32 days (not registered)
IT-162 for Germany 14 days (not registered)
IT-163 for Netherlands 8 days (not registered)
IT-164 for Spain 8 days (not registered)

I think that I've lost 3 lots

Hi Martine,
I actually have the same question. My difference is not that big as yours, but I have sent 94 and received 88. Some of the most of the frequent senders have received more than they have sent. I'm also curious why this is!
