It seems impolite to moan but I haven’t been contacted yet and I’m worried that I have missed the email somehow- should I wait further?

**Moderator note
Hello Igthorn and Esquimalt
Please refer to the rules for claiming a new member free gift, which can be found in the first post of this thread:
Esquimalt - You have fulfilled the first condition, but not the second. Please make some philatelic posts (including one with a picture) and then make your request here. Please note that only the prizes indicated above are still available (see the Sept 16, 2017 update), so Gift #56 is no longer available, and #76 has been claimed by Igthorn.

Hello Igthorn and Esquimalt
Please refer to the rules for claiming a new member free gift, which can be found in the first post of this thread:
Igthorn - Although strictly speaking you did not have 3 philatelic posts before your request for a free gift, you do now (I am counting your joining our Stamp BINGO game). The person from whom you are requesting the gift (imworld) has the final say as to whether you qualify to receive the gift. This thread has not been very active lately, so she may not be aware of your request - I will send her an email and ask her to post here and contact you.To claim a gift on this thread, you must:
1) Be a new Stampboards member, with less than 10 posts at the time of claiming their prize - one of which must be in the "Roll Call" thread all members must introduce themselves on - http://tinyurl.com/RollCallSB
AND
2) Have contributed at least 3 philatelic posts, not including any request for freebies, and at least one of your posts will have included a philatelic picture (posted in the thread, not as a link), preferably an item(s) from your collection. This is so you are fully active, and have hopefully learned how to post pictures on the board.
Esquimalt - You have fulfilled the first condition, but not the second. Please make some philatelic posts (including one with a picture) and then make your request here. Please note that only the prizes indicated above are still available (see the Sept 16, 2017 update), so Gift #56 is no longer available, and #76 has been claimed by Igthorn.

I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the considerable efforts of Michael "Goofey" Horton to see that his offer of late last year finally reached me. The stamps that he sent were exactly as I had requested, and will be a fine addition to my collection.

Hey Arakan!
Thanks a ton! Got it yesterday!
The stamps used on the cover are lovely too!

Just wanted to check, are the Settlement of Jamestown stamps self adhesive? Also does USPS apply the Air Mail impression to all items on its own or did you put it?

Re: Newbie starter kit thread: FREE GIFTS for active new mem
Yes, the Jamestown triangle stamps are self-adhesives.
USPS retired the "Air Mail" category, it is now "First Class International". I don't believe there is an official USPS label for First Class International. The Air Mail "label" is printed by me. I think "Air Mail" is still more meaningful for the worldwide audience than "First Class International".

Our "Wonderfully Corrupt" South African postal service Finally delivered the gift John sent me. Unsurprising the envelope was opened by the post office and then closed with the tape saying "found opened and closed up again" (Yeah right). Very surprising though was the fact that nothing was removed from the envelope.GreenViking wrote:I received your Email thank you john and replied with all the info. Sorry for the slight delay in response but I was away for the weekend.john6625 wrote:GreenViking wrote:If according to the administrators and moderators i do qualify may i please claim GIFT 71 - offered by john6625.
