Real postcards, posted by real people, from almost anywhere.
Choose a country, write your message, and a local Contributor buys a postcard, writes it by hand and posts it for you. Most of what you pay goes straight to that person.
How it works
You choose the country and write your message.
We match you with a verified local Contributor.
They buy a postcard, write your words by hand and post it from their town.
Your recipient receives real mail with a local stamp and postmark — and you know most of the fee supported the person who sent it.
As easy as a text — but it lasts for years
An email is gone in a blink. A postcard ends up on the fridge for years. That's the whole idea — real cards from around the world, right where the family gathers.
Who Pombly is for
For thoughtful gifts
Send a real postcard from a place that means something to the recipient — even if you have never been there yourself. Perfect for birthdays, thank-yous or thinking of you moments.
For collectors and stamp lovers
Receive (or give) cards with genuine local postmarks and stamps that are hard to obtain any other way.
For people who miss real post
In a digital world, a handwritten card that has travelled across borders still feels special. Many people use Pombly simply to put a smile through someone's letterbox.
For those who want their money to reach local people
Every order creates direct income for the Contributor who posts it. You get the card; they get fair pay for the work.
