The five we hear most

Is the writing actually handwritten?

Yes. Every letter is written by our handwriting machine in real handwriting — not a font, not a laser printer. More on handwriting and paper.

How much does it cost?

Per letter, dropping with volume: $4.31 for one, down to $1.81 each at 400 and up. Every price includes the writing and stationery plus the real $0.82 first-class stamp. Full pricing answers.

Is there a minimum order?

No — a single letter is a real order. Many customers start with exactly one. More on ordering.

How long does it take?

Standard is written and posted First-Class within 3–4 business days, free; Priority is next business day for +20% on the writing. Turnaround and delivery.

What happens to my mailing list?

It’s used to write and mail your letters — that’s it. Never sold, shared, or reused. Lists and privacy.
