(including postcard junk)

The keyword is junk - it's bulk-sent for cheap. There aren't many reported problems of people being screwed over by having a first-class postcard thrown away with the rest of the junk mail people get.

Where would these problems be reported? Keeping in mind you can't prove it even was sent in the first place without a tracking system.

If I ask someone if they got my postcard and they say no, there's a problem.

So hypothetically I could send a postcard to my ex and say it was from someone else, just to mess with her, hehe. I think it has to be more for the nostalgia effect. I wonder what kind of postcards you have.

You can make and upload any postcard, looking at their site, so you can probably send some very nasty postcards... Wink

People still send postcards.. huh i didn't know that. Well good luck with your service.

Actually, this is one of the big draws of the service.  Since sending snail-mail is so rare nowadays, a postcard is almost like an of out-of-band method of communication.  Nobody expects to get a postcard in the mail from someone they know, so it's quite a nice surprise when one does show up.

Beware, if you send to most US recipients, we get bundles of junk mail (including postcard junk) multiple times every week. These might be thrown in the trash with the junk mail by accident and you might get complaints for non-delivery if people seriously want the recipient to see them.

Huh, where do you live that this happens?  In CT, my mail is not bundled at all, so I glance at each item before I throw it away.  Also I would think that the bundled items would be shipped bulk-mail rate, but these cards are shipped standard first class postage so shouldn't be bundled in with the junk.  These postcards should be just like if you were on vacation and threw a stamp on a postcard you bought in a gift shop.

Thanks for the heads up though!

You have .28 BTC in your post title, but the site says .028 ($4 instead of $40)

You may want to fix that, and I'll remove this post when you do, so no need to quote it or respond.

Haha whoops, that's quite an error.  Thanks for catching that!

What about the international / American part?

Sorry about that, I fixed that in the FAQ as well.  We do in fact allow international ordering now Smiley

When I click on next on the create card page I get an invalid file error.

You're getting an invalid file error because it's JPG only and you're probably uploading a PNG or something other than JPG.  I just changed it to accept PNGs as well, so hopefully it should work for you now.  Sorry about that!


Also you need to clarify whether this is US only or international in your FAQ page.

Thanks for the heads up, I forgot that I had that info on the FAQ page.

Check your mail for a code for a free card Smiley

Hm, this is interesting. So now we have a tool to constantly piss scammers off when we get their dox, without mailing them personally. Wink

I might use it, if it is not limited to US.

On the website FAQ it says
The postcards are shipped First-Class postage to any destination in the United States.

So, is this worldwide or not?
Also, stamped?

Yep. Was going to come in here and call you a highway robber etc. etc., but hopefully we're looking at 0.028BTC, which would be much more reasonable.

I think its a mistake and nothing more  Cheesy
