OUR LAST POSTCARD HAS BEEN SENT

Unfortunately we are no longer running this service.


Why? - As much as we loved the idea, we quickly realised that we had no control over the effective delivery of the postcards. We were at the mercy of international postal services and to be honest, they were failing when it came to delivery.

We don't want to be offering a sub-standard service, so we've decided to pull the plug.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused...a sad day for postcard lovers.

Remember getting postcards from far-flung places? I was always slightly jealous of the sights I was missing out on. Nonetheless, I stuck them up on the fridge and started my own travel dreams.


Well, at WorldNomads.com we're reviving this love of postcards... but with a modern twist.

The WN Postcard App for iPhone has arrived! 

1. Get out your iPhone, download and then launch the WN postcard App

2. Take a photo, create your postcard, type your message on the back.

3. Buy some of our special 'stamps' - the cost is $2 per stamp and you need one stamp per card for delivery anywhere in the world.

4. Your postcard is printed in the USA on real glossy paper, stamped and then sent to the address on your card.

5. You can also donate at the time of stamp purchase to one of our Footprints Projects, so you'll send more than just warm greetings, you'll also help change lives !

Buying stamps - It's easy !

You can buy stamps via the WN Postcard app through PayPal. The cost is comparable to locally purchasing a card and postage, but without the Post Office queues!

* When you need to buy more stamps, click on the Stamp icon in the WN Postcard App to choose which number of stamps you want.

* You'll drop into the paypal site, add your credit card details or login to your paypal account and buy your stamps.

* Drop back into the app and hey presto, your stamps are instantly waiting to be used!

WN Postcard App Features - Why it rocks !


* Free to download and easy to use.
* The physical postcards are printed on high-quality gloss paper and delivered worldwide.
* Best of all, the postcards put you in the frame too.  You can either take a photo on the spot or use one from your iPhone library.
* Zoom & position photos to get your layout just right & choose a frame.
* Add your own personal message to the back of the card.
* You can either type the address or choose from your existing contacts.

Most of all, you can then have the pleasure of standing at your friends', sisters', cousins' fridge when you get home, reminiscing about what you were doing when you took the photo.

It's bringing back the old school travel tales!

When I tried to buy stamps the Paypal US keeps being redirected to Paypal IT. I haven't been able to purchase anymore stamps.
