What is a Round Robin?
Category Special Events | Number of views 18


A Round Robin is a collaborative mail swap where participants send an item to the next person in a set order, forming a loop that eventually returns to the original sender. Each participant adds their own unique contribution, allowing the item to evolve and reflect each person’s creativity as it passes through the group. This setup provides a shared, interactive way for members to connect within the snail mail community.

How does it work?

After signing up, each participant is assigned a mailing partner, starting the Round Robin loop. As each person receives the mail, they add their contribution and pass it to the next member in the sequence, maintaining the chain until it completes its journey back to the originator.

Why is it exclusive to Premium and Platinum members?

Round Robins require ongoing commitment to avoid disruptions, and Premium and Platinum members, with their longer memberships (6–12 months), are better suited for the continuity needed for these exchanges.

Considerations before joining:

Before joining, consider the potential time and costs, especially for international mail, and be sure of your ability to commit, as this helps maintain a smooth Round Robin experience.


Joining a Round Robin on SnailMailFriends.com is a fun, meaningful way to connect with other mail enthusiasts. Each addition brings a personal touch, creating an evolving, shared exchange that fosters creativity and community. Watching the item grow as it travels through each participant’s hands adds a unique joy and sense of connection to your snail mail experience.
