Sending a real postcard takes about two minutes and needs no post office, no stamp and no printer. Pick a photo, write a message, enter the address, and pay once. We print the card, stamp it and put it in the mail.
Start with a photo from your phone or computer — a picture from a trip, a photo of the dog, a screenshot of something that made you laugh. If you do not have the right photo to hand, use one of our destination templates instead.
Position and crop the photo inside the card, and pick the layout you want. Cards can be landscape or portrait, and you see exactly what the front will look like before you pay.
Type the note that goes on the back of the card. It is set in a handwritten typeface, so it reads like a postcard rather than a receipt. This is the part people keep, so it is worth more than "wish you were here".
Add the mailing address the card should go to. We check the address against postal records as you type, which is what stops a card being printed for a street that does not exist. If you have an account, saved addresses can be picked from your address book instead of retyped.
Pay once and you are done. Every postcard is printed on beautiful, thick cardstock with a vibrant, glossy finish to make your photo look its best. The standard size is 4x6 inches, just like a traditional postcard. We stamp it and put it in the mail, and you can follow the card in the app from the moment it is printed until it reaches the mailbox.
Delivery times are typically between 3 to 7 business days, depending on the destination. You will be notified once your card has shipped. Currently, we mail postcards to any valid mailing address within the United States.
You can also write the card today and schedule it to be mailed on a date in the future, which is the practical way to handle a birthday you know you will forget.
A single postcard is $4.99, and that covers printing, a stamp and delivery. Multi-card packs bring the price per card down: 3 cards for $11.97 works out at $3.99 each, and 10 cards for $29.90 at $2.99 each.
Credits never expire. Buy a pack now and spend it across several trips, or keep one in reserve for whenever you want to send something.
About two minutes. Choosing the photo is usually the slow part; the message, address and payment take under a minute between them.

Yes. You can create your postcard today and schedule it to be mailed on a specific date in the future, which works well for birthdays, anniversaries and holidays.
Usually not — orders are processed quickly so the card gets in the mail sooner. Review the photo, the message and the address before you pay. If you spot a mistake straight after ordering, contact support immediately and we will do what we can.
