mailing dates

We mail using the USPS mail system. If no ship date is selected at checkout, the first letter ships within 1–3 business days via USPS with tracking and typically arrives 2–5 business days after shipping (5–8 business days total).


After that, the remaining letters are mailed through regular mail on the dates outlined below. Delivery may take up to 2 weeks from the mailing date for U.S. orders or up to 6 weeks for international orders. Mail times may vary due to holiday schedules and local postal conditions.


From time to time, the mailing schedule may be adjusted to accommodate holidays, USPS delays, or operational needs. Schedules are subject to change. We recommend joining our mail-date notification email list to receive the most up-to-date information.
