My first order from Postallove


I had heard so many people over the Postcrossing Forum, Instagram, blogs etc. talk about "the absolute fantastic" postcard and stationery website called Postallove, that after some months of considering, I ended up clicking products into my imaginary shopping basket. Out of a sudden (well, figuratively) I realized I had confirmed my order and was left waiting for the package to arrive.

The shipping was really fast (Postallove is "located" in Poland); it took less than a week when I got the message saying that I could pick up my package at the post office. I paid with Paypal/credit card combination and faced absolutely no problems with the transaction. All the items arrived in great shape with even some extra cards!

Here's what I ordered:


... Postcards, of course! Plus some very neat, stamp-alike stickers for my penpals and postcard friends.


It was hard to choose just a couple of washi tapes from the wide range of tapes Postallove offers, but I really could not allow myself to order the whole selection, haha. These seem to be very good quality, so I bet I'll use these quite lot in my next snail mail projects.


Some priority stickers and one square shaped postcard.


Well, I think these are quite legendary postcards already. Too pity that the Finland card was sold out at the time I placed my order. But these are awesome!




A good variety of postcards, showing my favorite themes, like coffee, food, vintage, books & writing related stuff.


These were the extras I was lucky to receive - and what a coincidence! Virginia Woolf is one of my favorite authors, and I had actually missed this card while browsing the site (I had ordered a couple of these if I had noticed this), so I was thrilled to see this in the gift wrapping. I actually thought that I will frame this, I like the quote so much.

All the cards are of a very good quality, the photos are just top class and I think ordering at Postallove was very smooth. The shipping was a bit expensive (a little over 8 EUR for these), but on the other hand... if a single postcard costs 0,29 EUR at best, who am I to complain?! In Finland 1,50 EUR is quite an ordinary price for a postcard). So I am sure this was not the last time I order there.

Do YOU have experiences with this webstore?

  1. I have bought just once in that shop, and my experience is like yours: I was very happy with the item received. I ordered postcards, two or your three tapes, some stamps-stickers and a set of stationery. Everything is wonderful and I also had a little gift. What I like the most is that you can easily write on the postcards.

    I haven't ordered more things because I'm sending less postcards now; but I don't doubt I'll use this shop again!

    1. Thanks for sharing this! I sent out some of these cards already, and I have to agree; it's very easy to write on them! The material somehow allows the pen to "fly" over it.
