Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to fulfill an order?

Small batches (up to ~50 cards) are usually handwritten within 3–4 business days. Larger campaigns can take 5–8 business days depending on handwriting style and quantity. Add transit time on top (1–5 business days depending on destination). You can always see the live status inside your dashboard.

Can I upload my own design?

Currently, we offer a curated selection of premium card designs. We are working on a custom upload feature for business logos and bespoke artwork, which will be available soon. Contact support if you have a specific request.

Do you offer international shipping?

Yes. We currently fulfill to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Benelux, France, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Hungary. Germany is usually fastest; most other destinations arrive 2-5 business days after production, with the UK and Switzerland occasionally taking longer.

Is handwriting really done by pen plotter?

Absolutely. Every card is written with a fountain pen on our plotter robots using the handwriting style you selected. We add slight variations to keep each note feeling authentic.
