I love my grandparents to no end, but on the technical side I have to say they are a little lacking. We just had to get them a fancy new antenna to bring them up to the government mandated digital transition, and they still can’t figure out things. They just recently got a tone dial phone. Ok, so your fully confused why I bring this fact up? It’s because they don’t have a computer and while I am out and about I really don’t want to go out of my way to grab a postcard to send to 1 person. Postino allows you to do just that, send a custom printed postcard via the mail.
Postino allows you to take pictures with your iPhone and combine them with a message and a couple of clicks later an actual postcard is mailed out. This way I can always keep them in touch wile I am out on vacation. It worked great while I was waiting for my dinner to arrive I quickly scrolled through a couple of pictures I took that day and sent off a postcard in no time.
Processing takes roughly the same amount of time about 5-6days for them to get it. The quality isn’t going to be the best as the built in iPhone camera isn’t the greatest. The paper quality is on good stock and the end result is a very respectable postcard. Sending out postcards costs about $1.99 per card, but there are bulk packages available that save you money.
