What is Distant Post?

Distant Post is a mail club for people who miss the feeling of receiving something meaningful in the mailbox.

Every dispatch is designed to be opened slowly, collected, and enjoyed away from screens.

What will I receive each month?

Each carefully curated dispatch includes a letter, an illustration, and a surprise assortment of tactile keepsakes that enhance the narrative.

No two months are exactly alike.

When will my first letter arrive?

Join before the monthly cut-off date and your first Distant Post will be included in that month's mailing.

Subscriptions placed after the cut-off will begin with the following month's edition.

When are letters mailed?

Distant Post editions are typically mailed during the final week of each month.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. Distant Post is available in Canada, the United States, and many international destinations.

Delivery times vary depending on your location and local postal service. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout, and we'll always do our best to ensure your post arrives safely on its journey.

Is tracking included?

To keep Distant Post affordable and true to the experience of traditional letter mail, shipments are sent without tracking.

Delivery times vary by country and season, but most letters arrive within a few weeks of being mailed.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled at any time before your next renewal date.

You can manage your subscription through your customer portal or contact us if you need assistance.

Can I send Distant Post as a gift?

Absolutely. Distant Post makes a thoughtful gift for readers, writers, travelers, history lovers, and anyone who appreciates the joy of real mail.

Are previous editions available?

Occasionally. If extra copies remain after a mailing, select past editions may be offered in limited quantities through the shop.

What makes Distant Post different?

Distant Post isn't a subscription box. It's an ongoing collection of stories, correspondence, and keepsakes.

Each delivery is designed to feel like discovering a piece of someone's life tucked inside an envelope — something personal, tangible, and worth keeping.
