Pigeon Mail
“This guy doesn't know about Pigeon Mail...”
“Is it too soon to ask for an address?”
Gerard ter Borch — An Officer Dictating a Letter
For when it's worth a handwritten letter.
Handwritten letters, delivered by post. No addresses exchanged.
In a world full of notifications and instant messages, a handwritten letter is truly the way to stand out. But sharing your address isn't always an option. That's why you send us your handwritten letter, and we forward it to the recipient — without anyone having to give out a private address.
How it works
Sending a letter
“Ahh, this is way better than a DM.”
Theo Mesker — The Lithographer
You met someone online and wanted to send them something more meaningful than a message
