Right after you pay
We ask once.
We text and email them, using whichever you gave us. The message says who it's from and links to a private page where they type in their address. Replying STOP ends the texts.
How it works
We'll ask for the address ourselves.
between us.
Most people don't have their friends' mailing addresses anymore. So we ask for you. We send them a short message, they type their address into a private page, and we mail the card. We send it about 10 days ahead inside the US and Canada, and about three weeks ahead anywhere else. They also get a digital copy on the day.

Hi Sarah, Adam wants to mail you a birthday card.
Could you share your address with us? Adam won't see it. Only we will. Reply STOP to opt out.

How often we ask
Two messages, then we stop.
One ask and one reminder, by text and email. We don't send anything else about the address.
48 hours later
One reminder.
If they haven't answered, we send one reminder the same way. Same link. That's the last message they get from us about it.
48 hours after that
We stop asking.
No answer means we stop. Your dashboard shows that the request expired. We don't keep chasing anyone.
On the day
The digital card goes out.
Whether or not we got an address, they get the digital card on the day, as long as we have an email or phone for them.
The privacy promise
Their address stays theirs.
We hold the address and you never see it. Your dashboard just says "address received."
- Our message tells them the card is from you. If you'd rather keep it a surprise, you can leave your name out.
- Fewer people reply to an ask without a name. We'll remind you of that when you tick the box.
- We keep the address for 2 years after the card is done, then delete it. They can ask us to delete it sooner.
After it's delivered
We keep it for next time.
If you send them another card within 2 years of the last one, we use the address we already have instead of asking again. That's what lets a birthday card go out every year.
- You still never see it.
- It's only used for cards from you. Nobody else gets it.
- They can ask us to delete it any time, and we will.
If we can't reach them
They still get a card.
People miss messages, and some would rather not give out an address. That's fine. The digital card still goes out on the day, and you only pay the deposit.
How it plays out
- They send it. We mail the card, and charge the rest of the price when it goes out.
- They don't answer. After the reminder, we stop asking. Your dashboard will say so.
- Either way. The digital card goes out on the day. Without an address, you only pay $3.99 USD.
Pricing
You pay for what we actually do.
If you have the address, you pay the full price at checkout. If we need to ask for it, you pay a small deposit at checkout and the rest only if the printed card mails.
You have the address
$9.99 USD
We print it, stamp it, and mail it to the address you give us, timed to arrive on the day you pick.
We ask for the address
$11.99 USD
We text or email them to ask. If they send it in time, we mail the card to arrive on the day. You pay the deposit now and the rest when it mails.
If we can't get the address
$3.99 USD
This is the deposit. If they never send an address, they still get the digital card and this is all you pay.
