Christmas cards sent directly to each recipient

You don't receive a box of cards to address. Each card is printed with your photo and message and goes straight from the printer to the person on your list, with USPS First-Class postage.

Happy Holidays
What a year! Lucy started kindergarten, Sam learned to ride a bike, and we finally finished the kitchen. We miss you and hope to see you in the spring.

Wishing you a warm and peaceful holiday season.
Love,
Ana, Tom, Lucy & Sam

Recipient address & postage

Direct mail vs. shipping the cards to you

Most photo-card sites print your cards and ship them to you, and then the addressing and stamping is your job. Some, like Shutterfly's "Mail for Me", can mail them for you for an extra fee per envelope. Card Mailer only does direct mailing: you send the list, and the price per card already includes the postage and the mailing.

How to use it

Order on this site or use Card Mailer from ChatGPT or Claude:

1. Open Card Mailer in ChatGPT or ClaudeAsk for a card and attach your photo and address list. A spreadsheet, CSV, contacts export or pasted text all work.
2. Check the card and the listYou see the front and back of the card. Addresses are checked against USPS data, and any that won't deliver are flagged so you can fix them in place.
3. Pay and pick a datePay on our checkout page. The cards print and go out by USPS First-Class on the date you choose, and you can follow each one until it's delivered.

Price

$2.49 per card, postage included. That covers a 5×7 photo card printed on thick glossy card stock and mailed USPS First-Class. There's no subscription and no minimum order, and you pay only for addresses that can be mailed. If a card can't be delivered to an address, that card is refunded automatically.

Questions

When do I need to order for the cards to arrive before Christmas?

USPS asks for First-Class holiday mail to be sent by December 17. Printing takes about two business days, so order by about December 12 and choose the earliest send date. If you give a date the cards must arrive by, we work out the latest safe send date for you.

Do the cards come in envelopes?

Not yet. The first version is a 5×7 photo postcard: your photo and greeting on the front, your message and the recipient's address on the back. Folded cards in envelopes are next.

What format should my address list be in?

Any of these work: a spreadsheet (.xlsx), a CSV export from Google Contacts, Outlook or Apple Contacts, or addresses pasted one per line ("Jane Doe, 12 Oak St, Springfield, IL 62704"). The columns can be in any order.

Can I send outside the US?

Not yet. Card Mailer mails only to US addresses, including APO/FPO.

What happens to my addresses?

They are used only to print and mail your cards. They are deleted 30 days after the send date, and lists that are never ordered are deleted after 14 days. They are never sold or used for anything else. See the privacy policy.

Can I cancel?

Yes, at any time before the send date, for a full refund. Email cards@onmax.me with your order link.
