Three steps to a happier mailbox
- 1
Get an address
Ask for an address and we pick a member somewhere in the world, with a short note about what they love.
- 2
Send your card
Write the postcard ID on the card, add a few friendly words and a stamp, and drop it in the post.
- 3
Receive one back
When your card is registered, you're next in line. Someone, somewhere, is already picking a card for you.
Why people love it
A surprise every time
You never know which country — or which picture — will turn up in your mailbox next.
Your address stays private
We only show it to the one member sending you a card. No public profiles, no browsing.
Fair by design
The more cards you send, the sooner you receive. Nobody gets left out.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Sending and receiving postcards is free forever. You only pay for your own stamps. Premium is optional.
Who sees my address?
Only the member we've asked to send you a card, and only while that card is on its way. It's never shown publicly.
How long do postcards take?
Usually 1–3 weeks, sometimes longer for far-away places. Cards not registered within 60 days expire so your slot frees up.
Do I have to send first?
You can ask for addresses straight away. Members who send cards that arrive are picked first to receive, so sending is the fastest way to fill your mailbox.
Is there an app?
The website works great on phones and you can add it to your home screen. Apps for iPhone and Android are on the way.
