Receiving real 📬 mail is awesome.

I'm interested but I'm an overthinker. Tell me more.

What about my privacy?

We aren't interested in selling your information; that's too much work and data brokers are scum. We're promising right here, right now, we don't sell your information. This is a fun project, not a soul-sucking wannabe unicorn. No VCs or PE money pushing us to sell out our principles. But if that's you, we're still happy to send you a postcard. Money is money! But that's all we're going to sell. Postcards.

Who's behind this?

FuzzyPost is the latest in a long string of hairbrained ideas from Brad Jones, a dogged founder who failed at selling fish over the Internet (Big Island Fish), ran a way-too-early online newsroom (Face The State), sued the governor of Colorado (lost) and a corrupt fire district (won) and is building a kinky dating app. I live in an RV full time somewhere out west. I'm often interesting, sometimes witty and want to send you a postcard.

What's the catch?

There's no real "catch," though some people consider paying for anything to be a raw deal. So that's the catch. You gotta pay.Postcards are about a buck, and I enjoy buying them from local outlets when I can. Postcard postage in the US runs 56 cents - crazy but true. My time is worth something. Your warm fuzzies are priceless, of course, but we think our pricing is reasonable.Live vicariously through our mail, put the postcard on your fridge, and wait longingly for the next one. We'll mail you when you pay and miss you dearly when you stop sending us money.

When will I get my postcard?

We will send your postcard via first-class mail within a week of your order. When you actually receive it depends on the service quality of the US Postal Service. Which could mean you get it overnight or next century - but probably within a week or two. If you want to help prop up America's floundering postal service, buy more postcards!Seriously though, if a month goes by and you haven't received your postcard, drop us a line and we'll send you another. No monetary refunds. Just postcards.

What does the postcard look like? How big is it? What will it say?

I don't know, you haven't ordered it yet. I'll buy a postcard I think is interesting. You'll get a message that maybe shares a fun tidbit about whatever desert town I'm in that day. It will be whatever size it happens to be.What I can promise is that your postcard won't be anything you can't show your kids. They might not "get it," but the worst that will happen is you have to explain what "real mail" is. That enough reassurance?This project is about enjoying the warm fuzzies of sending and receiving mail. Don't overthink it. Or as they say on Mystery Science Theater 3000, "Repeat to yourself, 'It's just a show, I should really just relax.'"

Where can you send postcards?

This is a down-and-dirty MVP. That means it's easiest for me to just slap standard US postage on a postcard and send it off. That means US recipients only...for now.If people really dig it, or I'm having fun, then perhaps I'll open it up to other countries. It's really sad how many businesses are needlessly US-focused, and I'm a man of the world (!) so I would love to go international relatively soon. Want to see that happen? Buy lots of postcards!
