The postcard is the one souvenir that goes to somebody else. Send one from a trip using a photo you took that day — no post office, no stamps in a foreign currency, no carrying a card around for a week hoping to find a mailbox.
The traditional way to send a postcard from a trip involves a shop that sells cards, a separate shop that sells stamps in the local currency, and a mailbox you can never find until the day you leave. Most people buy the card and bring it home unsent.
This is the same postcard without that errand: pick the photo on your phone in the evening, write the message, and it is printed and mailed for you.
A shop postcard shows the view everyone photographs. Yours shows the thing you noticed — the street you got lost on, the dog outside the restaurant, the weather nobody warned you about. That is the card people keep.
Some trips do not produce a usable photo. We keep designed fronts for popular US destinations for exactly that case, so the card still looks like it came from the place you were.
You do not need to be home for any of it — we print and mail the card, so it goes out whether you are still travelling or not. Currently, we mail postcards to any valid mailing address within the United States. Delivery times are typically between 3 to 7 business days, depending on the destination. You will be notified once your card has shipped.
Plan the rest of the trip with our free travel tools: work out how much roaming data you need, generate a packing list, check what to tip, plan around jet lag, or crop a passport photo to the official size. No account, no charge.
