Thank you to everyone who requested cards from PHSI this year! I enjoyed sending out the cards again, and I think this year's event went very well. I hope you enjoyed receiving your cards too!
I sent out the fifth and final batch of cards this morning, so please double check your inbox and junk folders if you haven’t seen it come through yet!
Please also wait patiently for your Physical Cards to be delivered; they can take 2-3 weeks to arrive, especially if you live outside the US.
This year I received 70 card requests, which is less than previous years but still a decent amount! These cards were mailed and emailed to places all across the globe, including the US, Germany, the UK, Canada, Australia, Poland, Italy, and Switzerland!
I also thought I'd share this interesting fact about PHSI this year: About 4 out of every 5 people chose to receive a physical card, and 1 out of 5 chose a digital eCard!
As always, a big thank you to everyone who donated to PHSI this year. Your kindness helps pay for the cost of sending physical cards and bringing smiles to fellow Portal Fans! At the time of posting, you have helped cover 83% of the cards sent this year!
83% is phenomenal, but it’s still not 100%. There have only been a few years where 100% of the cost was covered by the community, and I’d really love to see it happen again this year! It’s definitely possible:
If 10 people donated to cover 1 card each, we'd hit 100%!
If 5 people donated to cover 2 cards each, we'd hit 100%!
If you’re able to, please go donate so 100% of everyone’s cards can be covered this year. After all, doing something nice for someone else is what PHSI is all about! Visit ko-fi.com/247testing and click the Donate button if you’d like to help cover the cost of a card for you or someone else.
Just a quick reminder: There have been instances in the past where a card has taken until the first week of February to arrive, so please be patient! However, if your physical card fails to arrive by the end of the first full week of January, feel free to let me know by replying to the confirmation email I sent you. I'm more than happy to send you a digital eCard as a replacement. :)
Thank you all for helping keep the Portal Fandom active and bringing happiness and fun to our community this year. Running PHSI this year was fun, and I hope you enjoyed the cards from it too! Also, please go and do something nice for someone before the end of the year, and try to bring more happiness, joy, peace, love, and charity into the world.
If you missed out on PHSI this year, check back next year at the end of November to see if I'll be running it again or not!
