January 7, 201411 yr Still a lot of members living in USA doesn't include that in the adress, I guess because USA is the default country in the world?! Well this is AmeriBricks after all... I'm probably one of those that forgot to include that... Steve
January 7, 201411 yr If the President of the US won a raffle it would be: Barack Obama 1600 Pennsylvania Ave Washington, DC 20006 USA That is for the AmeriBricks users that need the help.
January 8, 201411 yr But not everyone knows the correct format for international mail so it's best to have your PM display exactly as how it should be displayed on mail and packages. In USA it's NAME ADDRESS 1 ADDRESS 2 (ie apartment or something) CITY, STATE, ZIP COUNTRY (optional if shipping within USA, required if outside USA)
January 8, 201411 yr Isn't it that for international mail, you have to signal the country, and after that, the address is usual, as for an inland mail? After all, the exact address is only important for the postal workers in your own country after the mail could find your coutnry. So I indicated my address (apart from the country) as usual and not as an "international" address. Providing that an "international" address type even exist.
January 8, 201411 yr EXCEPT... that the raffle instructions specified how to PM your details. They said: your name on one line. Then, your address on one line. Then, your country on one line. "It's best" to do what you're told! Address-writing convention is irrelevant to your PM. Your mail will be addressed appropriately, but the instructions didn't say "type out your address in 5 line format"...
January 10, 201411 yr I am confused....is it right now? I wrote: My name My street with number My city with postal code My state Edited January 10, 201411 yr by Gerechtigkeitsliga

January 10, 201411 yr I used to trade Star Trek Customized Game Cards internationally so I had plenty of experience. Fortunately there were people that advised me on international addresses and there are websites that are useful too. In this day and age, very few of us send international mail.
January 13, 201411 yr Has anyone received there prizes yet? as far as we know, copmike hasn't even send the prizes yet. patience my friend. copmike has to manage sending the prizes to many different country and address, so it's quite a work.
January 15, 201411 yr I think it would be awesome to see all the winners on one global map to get an idea how all prices will part out over the world. ;-)
January 16, 201411 yr I think it would be awesome to see all the winners on one global map to get an idea how all prices will part out over the world. ;-) You can check all the winners, and make a statistic, but unfortunately not everyone's nationality is given here.

January 22, 201411 yr Hello CopMike, I just wanted to drop you a note. Since the raffle, my father has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. I've been spending most of my time taking care of him, and with money being tight, I haven't had much money for LEGO. I just helps keep my mind of the troubles. Thank you again.
January 23, 201411 yr ... still doing random street muggings to gather up those figs! You are amazing. Or evil.

January 23, 201411 yr ^ I agree. You'll be in my thoughts. It's nice there are people like CopMike and raffles like this to keep people's spirits up.
