Is it a real physical postcard?
Yes. A real, printed postcard — not a digital card, not an e-card. It gets physically mailed and arrives in the recipient's letterbox. They can hold it, pin it up, or keep it in a drawer for years.
Is it actually sent from Iceland?
Yes. Every postcard is printed, prepared, and posted from Iceland. It carries a real Icelandic stamp and leaves Iceland through Iceland Post. The postmark will show Iceland as the origin.
Can I choose the design?
Absolutely. We have a collection of Icelandic postcard designs — glaciers, aurora borealis, volcanic landscapes, waterfalls, and more. Browse the full collection on our postcard selection page and pick the one that fits the occasion.
Can I personalise the message?
Yes. During checkout you write your personal message (up to 300 characters). It will be printed on the postcard exactly as you write it — so it reads as your own words.
Is the message handwritten?
The message is printed in a clean, readable format. It is not handwritten by a person, but the content is entirely your own — no template, no boilerplate. Just what you write.
How long does shipping take?
Estimated delivery times from Iceland:
- Europe: 5–10 business days
- USA & Canada: 7–14 business days
- Australia & New Zealand: 10–21 business days
- Rest of the world: 10–21 business days
These are estimates. Delivery depends on the destination country's postal service and can be affected by public holidays or customs.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes — we post to any country in the world that has a functioning postal service. If you're unsure about your destination, contact us and we'll let you know.
Can I send it as a gift directly to someone else?
Of course. Just enter the recipient's name and address at checkout — the postcard goes directly to them. Your own email address is only used for the order confirmation and is not visible to the recipient.
How much does it cost?
$4.99 per postcard. Worldwide delivery is included in the price. There are no hidden fees or add-ons — one flat price regardless of destination.
How do I pay?
We use Stripe for secure payment processing. You can pay by credit or debit card. After completing the order form, you'll be redirected to the secure Stripe checkout page.
Can I cancel or change my order?
Orders are processed quickly — usually within 1–2 business days. If you need to make a change, contact us at hello@postcard.is as soon as possible and we'll do our best to help. Once the card has been posted, we're unable to make changes.
What if there's a delivery issue?
Get in touch at hello@postcard.is and we'll investigate. Please note that once posted, delivery is handled by the postal service and we cannot guarantee specific delivery dates. See our Refund Policy for details.
Do you send postcards about Iceland travel — or from Iceland-based people?
Both. Our service is used by people who have visited Iceland and want to send a card, people who simply love Iceland and want to give someone a unique gift, and anyone who wants to send something more memorable than a message.
