Postcard Description

These are past travel mail editions from countries I’ve been. Each one started as part of the Every Country Post. Inspired by real destinations I traveled to, I designed them using my own art and photography. I also include journal-style letters from that place; something real, personal, and deeply tied to the experience.

As a result, no two mail kits feel the same. Some feel calm, others chaotic. Some come from places I planned to visit… and others from places I never expected to end up in.

✉️ What you’ll receive:

– A 5×7 postcard featuring my own photography from the destination
– A deeply personal letter about the real story behind the place
– An original 4×6 photo print paired with the story behind the moment it was taken
– A field notes travel guide inspired by my journal
– A collectible mini poster sticker of the destination
– A curated playlist featuring local artists and the songs I had on repeat while exploring the destination
– A collectible stamp sticker representing the destination
– Careful packaging in a themed envelope to keep everything protected

🌍 Why the Archive exists

Not everyone joins from the beginning, and not every destination comes back.
Because of that, the Archive gives you the chance to:
– Collect mail kits from places that speak to you
– Catch up on destinations you missed
– Build your own version of this journey

📌 Please note:

– These are past designs; once they sell out, they may not return
– These may vary slightly from the original Every Country Post deliveries
– Postcards are printed on high quality handmade cotton paper; due to the handcrafted nature of this paper, slight variations or imperfections may be present, adding to the unique character of each piece
– I generally print and ship these mail kits from within the U.S., along with the monthly Every Country Post orders on the 15th of every following month.
– Shipping times may vary depending on your location
– I prepare and send each mail kit individually, so all sales are final
– If something goes wrong, I’ll always do my best to make it right

General

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, I mostly ship worldwide! 🌍

However, due to current international mail service disruptions, I am unfortunately temporarily unable to ship to the following countries: Afghanistan, Belarus, Bhutan, Cuba, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Seychelles, South Sudan, Sudan, Turkmenistan, and Yemen.

Shipping times vary depending on local postal systems.

All orders are sent via standard mail and are not tracked. This helps keep prices affordable and preserves the traditional snail mail experience!

Please allow:

– Up to 14 business days for U.S. orders
– Up to 21 business days for international orders (this includes all handwritten postcards)
After your fulfillment confirmation.

If your postcard still hasn’t arrived after this timeframe, please email me at support@jackykarwathova.com or use the contact form to get in touch.

Absolutely! You can ship mail kits and handwritten postcards directly to someone else. Just enter their name and address at checkout.
If sending to multiple people, please place separate orders for each address (it helps me make sure every piece of mail arrives safely!)

What you’ll receive:
– A 5×7 postcard featuring my own photography from the destination

– An original 4×6 photo print paired with the story behind it
– A field notes travel guide inspired by my journal

Yes, as long as it’s an available previous Every Country Post destination, it will be available for individual purchase in the Archive!

Mail kits are generally packaged and shipped from within the U.S., however the exact shipment date depends on when you ordered. Mail kits are mailed along with the monthly Every Country Post orders on the 15th of every following month.

Hence, if you place an order on or after the 1st of the month, shipments will take place on the 15th the following month.

If you made a mistake or need to make changes to your shipping address, please email me asap at support@jackykarwathova.com.

Handwritten postcards

These are real postcards I buy locally while traveling, written by me on the spot and sent directly from that destination with local stamps. They’re more personal, more unpredictable, and very limited.

There’s an option to let me know your preferences. 

Postcard Design:

If multiple designs are available, I’ll do my best to match it. However, it ultimately depends on what I can find locally, so please keep in mind that design choices cannot be guaranteed.

Postcard Message:

Yes! You can let me know if you’d like a personal message, a story from my travels, or something more specific. Otherwise, I’ll write something that feels true to the moment!
You also have the option to add more details at checkout, but you don’t have to overthink it… I’ll always choose something that feels right based on where I am and what I’m experiencing at the time!

 

Handwritten postcards are intentionally not shipped in an envelope and hence, may show signs of travel (stamps, marks, or slight wear) which are all part of their special journey!

This depends on the specific drop and where I am traveling at the time.
Sometimes I may reveal the exact countries beforehand, while other times, I may only reveal a certain region with the exact country being kept as a surprise!

Not often. These are released as limited drops depending on where I am and how many I can realistically write and send during my chaotic travels!
