FAQs
Your questions, answered.
Greeting cards
- How big are your greeting cards?
All our cards are A6 (10.5 x 14.8 cm). While other card sellers offer larger cards, and upsell customers to buy larger cards to make more money, we feel this goes against our aim to minimise our environmental impact. After all, size doesn’t matter, does it?
- Do your cards have a glossy or matte finish?
The finish of our cards is smooth to the eye, and textured to touch. They have a natural finish, with some dark flecks throughout, due to the recycled nature of the paper stock.
On our cards with a higher concentration of ink, there may be a light sheen on printed areas.
Sustainability
- Are your cards, envelopes, and packaging sustainable?
As our cards are designed to be remailed, they are more circular than cards designed to be discarded after one use. Where you see the FSC® label on our greeting cards and outer packaging, they are FSC® certified. They are also fully recycled and recyclable. As our envelopes do not carry the on-product FSC label, we cannot promote them as FSC certified. They are fully recyclable.
Our greeting cards and outer packaging are made from 100% genuine de-inked post consumer waste, and the paper stock used is processed chlorine free (PCF), significantly reducing water contamination from processing.
The inks used on our cards and packaging are non-toxic, made with organic pigments, and comply with standard de-inking and recycling practices. Our cards, envelopes, and packaging can all be reintroduced to the recycling loop once you, or the recipient, are finished admiring them!

Please visit our How it Works page for more about how our cards can be remailed.
- Are your cards recyclable?
Yes. Our cards, envelopes, shipping labels, and packaging are all fully recyclable.
Shipping & delivery
- Can I only send cards directly to the recipient?
No! We actually prefer larger orders sent to you! To be fully transparent, they’re more profitable for us and they’re easier for us to fulfil than individually writing and dispatching one card at a time. Over time, larger orders will allow us to continue to keep our prices relatively low compared to some of our competitors, due to our shipping costs being spread across a larger number of cards.
- How do you ship your greeting cards?
Individual cards being sent directly to the recipient are enclosed in a single non-branded white envelope.
For orders of more than one card, the cards are supplied flat with envelopes and enclosed in a larger branded card envelope, made from the same 100% recycled paper stock as our greeting cards.
- Do you ship your products internationally?
Yes, we ship globally!
- What are your cut off times?
Retail orders are dispatched the same or next working day, Monday to Saturday. For example, an order placed on Friday will be dispatched on Friday or Saturday, and an order placed on Saturday will be dispatched on Saturday or Monday.

- My order arrived damaged
We’re sorry to hear this! We try our very best to ensure all orders are dispatched in pristine condition, however, sometimes they can still arrive damaged.
If this is the case with your order, please contact us via our Contact Us page with your order number, photographs of the damaged cards, and any relevant information regarding the damage, so we can process your refund.
To minimise waste, and the environmental impact of our greeting cards, we ask that you don’t simply throw any damaged cards straight into the bin! Please consider continuing to use them, but explaining to the recipient what happened, or alternatively, you could pin them up as mini art prints!
- I received a card, but I don’t know who sent it?
A secret admirer? A long-lost relative? An alien from outer space? Whoever it’s from, we thank them for introducing you to Remail! Legend.
If you’ve received a card and the message hasn’t included who it’s from, we’ll have to do some investigating before we can share any of their personal information with you. Please reach out to us via our Contact Us page with your query and post code, so we can investigate this mysterious human (we presume!).

- Can I cancel or edit my order?
You can try! We operate a VERY lean and efficient team. Once your order is placed, we try to get it out the door ASAP to avoid any delays with delivery. This means when a cancellation or change is requested, it’s often too late for us to prevent the order from being dispatched.
If you would like to cancel or change something with your order, please contact us as soon as possible. We’ll try our best to resolve it, but we can’t guarantee it!
