Why Use Mail It For Me?
Mail It For Me takes the manual work out of sending cards. No envelopes to stuff, stamps to apply, or finished cards to take to the post office—we handle those steps and mail each card directly to your recipients.
It’s especially helpful for large recipient lists, busy holiday seasons, announcements, and other moments when you want to send something personal without adding more to your to-do list. And because your cards go from Minted directly into the mail, you don’t need to wait for your order to arrive at home before sending.
How Mail It For Me Works
- Personalize your cards. Choose your card and personalize your design as usual.
- Add your addresses. Add Recipient and Return Addressing to your order. Choose recipients from your saved Minted address book or upload your address list using a spreadsheet.
- Select Mail It For Me at checkout. If Mail It For Me is offered for your order, you’ll see it at checkout as a shipping option. The fee is based on the number of cards being mailed and includes service and postage.
- Approve your proof. Review your card, recipient names and addresses, and return address carefully. You can make changes until your proof is approved.
- We mail your cards. We’ll print your order, assemble your cards and envelopes, apply USPS postage stamps, and mail each addressed card directly to its recipient. You’ll receive email confirmation once your cards have been handed to USPS.
Want extra cards for yourself?
Order more cards than the number of recipients on your address list. We’ll mail the addressed cards to your recipients and ship the remaining unaddressed cards and envelopes directly to you with tracking.

FAQs
How much does it cost?
The fee is based on the number of cards being mailed and includes service and postage. You’ll see the full fee at checkout before placing your order.
Why isn’t it showing at checkout?
Mail It For Me only appears for eligible orders. Review the eligibility requirements above to make sure your card and envelope selections qualify. Availability may also be limited based on capacity or other order details. If you believe your order is eligible but don’t see the option, contact Minted Customer Service for help.
Will I see my cards before they’re mailed?
You’ll review and approve a digital proof of your card, including recipient and return addresses, before your order moves into production. Your cards are then printed and mailed directly to your recipients, so you won’t receive a physical card to review before they’re sent. For orders using Express Service, there’s no proofing step and your order moves directly into production.
When will my cards be mailed?
We’ll show your estimated mailing date at checkout and update it in your order details if anything changes. You’ll receive email confirmation once your cards have been handed to USPS. From there, delivery timing varies by destination and USPS service.
Can I track my cards?
Individual cards mailed to recipients don’t include tracking. We’ll send you a confirmation once we've handed your cards to USPS, but individual delivery status isn’t available. Any extra unaddressed cards shipped to you will include tracking.
What happens with extra cards?
We’ll ship you any unaddressed cards so you can mail or hand-deliver them yourself. Your shipment will include tracking.
Can I add or edit addresses later?
You can update your address list until you approve your proof. Once we begin preparing your order, we’re unable to make updates. For orders using Express Service, there’s no proofing step, so you can’t change addresses after you place your order.
Can I mail to international addresses?
Yes. We support domestic and international addresses.
What happens if a recipient's address is incorrect?
Cards are mailed to the addresses you provide, so review all names and addresses carefully before approving your proof. If a card is undeliverable, USPS will return it to the return address printed on the envelope.
Can I send to a large recipient list?
There’s no maximum recipient list size. The same minimum order quantities apply as a regular card order and can vary by product.
Can I send cards to multiple people at the same address?
Yes. Add each person as a separate recipient, and each will receive their own individually mailed card, even if they share an address.
