Punkpost Greeting Cards

I can’t stop sending cards to people. They will actually pick up the phone and call me when they get them. It’s the things I always want to do and don’t have time to do. My grandma, my mom, my students. It is SO meaningful to get a hand drawn card. The app is a little buggy - sometimes it won’t let me add an address, save a card, or load pics, but they seem to be working on things and it does get fixed if you are patient. Also, if you email them, they will help you. All of the artwork is genuine, thoughtful, and heartfelt. It’s a little hard when I find my favorite artist and I want to clone them. And if you leave feedback for the artist (one took a pic of the wrong address, one drew music notes wrong), they fix it quickly and aim to make it right. I may have to switch to drip coffee so I can afford more of these beautiful cards.

So I’ve been ordering cards on here for a while now and although I’ve received beautiful cards from artists who actually try, I’ve also received cards with little to no effort; with just writing. No drawings, no designs, nothing. (Crazy, because I made requests through the app.) This has now happened to me twice. If you’d ask me a week ago what I would rate this app, I would give it a 5, no problem (I usually buy add ons as well! The envelope, and pictures.) But my recent experience involving a “holiday card” and a particular “artist” really made me upset. 15 dollars for just words on a card? No designs on the added feature I purchased? (Envelope) Seriously?I’d rather give that money to an artist that went all out for me and listened. My holiday card will now have to be given late because there is no way I’m going to hand what I received to the person. It’s the freaking holidays, and it’s for a very close friend! So disappointed. TLDR: The quality of the cards will not be consistent, it seems like some artists will consider your requests and others will not. Don’t let that discourage you from getting the app though, it’s made me smile and laugh along with my loved ones many times. And you know it’s a good card when they call you smiling instead of texting emojis.

This app has lots of bugs in it... at least on the iPad version of this app. Bug #1 is that is doesn’t save your work as you are creating the card. We spent an hour typing up the perfect words for our card, choosing the recipients, choosing our extra mailing options, and typing notes for the designer... but then we had to leave the app to go into a few other apps. When we came back into Punkpost, all of our work was completely gone. As if we had never done anything at all. Terrible. Bug #2 is that no matter how many times we chose “Elegant” as our writing style, the app always reverted our card back to “Formal”, even after we submitted the card. Bug #3 is that no matter what we do, the app will not let us pull in the addresses of our contacts from our iPad’s contacts app. Punkpost shows us the names of our contacts from the iOS contacts app, but then it always gives us an error when we try to bring any of those addresses into Punkpost. Bug #4 is that once a card is sitting in your outbox and you simply want to review it, the app always tells you that you are going to discard the card altogether if you try to close out of the card. We just wanted to view the card, but now we can’t close out of it without discarding it altogether!

I’m absolutely in love with the result. My boyfriend and I are now long distance, so I like to send little notes through the mail for the sake of old-fashioned romance. So I find it really hard to beat the price given through this app if I were to try to send a handwritten note of my own on comparable (really cute) card-stock, much less print picture or buy and keep confetti and stamps on hand. But then to have such awesome writing done!! I love it. The artist’s handwriting is much better and more eye catching than I could ever do on my own. I also love receiving photos of the completed card, envelope, and contents ahead of it being sent. I’ve used another app in the past that skipped this detail and it makes all the difference know the quality of the item your sending from your name. Thank you so much. Sharing with all my friends!!!

I was a huge fan of sending occasional cards through punk post, and got many compliments on them, even though the artists sometimes messed up on the grammar or some minuscule thing - until my last order. I placed the order on the 15th. It processed through my debit card immediately, but nothing on the app updated that it would be assigned or anything. So I contact customer support. She says she pushed it through, it would be shipped out no later than Sunday. I go back and look yesterday, it’s still not been scripted. Again today, nothing. It’s going to be late for Christmas even though I did all I could to get it there on time. I will not be referring anymore friends, coworkers, clients, or anyone because I feel like they don’t value their clients. I’ll be going the legal route of contacting my bank and better business bureau; but at least we know we can’t trust them when it counts. Which means never. TLDR: I ordered a card with plenty of time to get there on time and it still hasn’t shipped - and no one will reply anymore.
