How often will a Postcard arrive?
Once a month, and nothing in between.
Will you use my address for anything else?
No. We use it only to send Postcards. Our privacy policy explains how we look after it.
Do you track whether I open it?
No. We do not track whether you open a Postcard or which links you click.
How do I stop receiving them?
Every Postcard carries an unsubscribe link that works in one click.
My confirmation email has not arrived.
Give it a few minutes, then look in your spam, junk or promotions folder. If it is there, moving it to your inbox helps future Postcards arrive. If it is nowhere to be found, write to us and we will sort it out.
A word from us
We write about the places we have walked, cycled and lingered in, and we say plainly where we have not yet been. A Postcard is the easiest way to come along with us.
