How Long Before Postcards are Mailed?
Postcards are printed and handed to USPS within two business days of payment, often sooner. That is Wise Pelican's print-and-drop turnaround, not the full time until a homeowner holds the card.
How fast can I get real estate postcards mailed?
After you submit and pay, Wise Pelican prints, addresses, and drops the mailing at USPS — typically within two business days. You do not mail the pieces yourself; postage is already in the all-in postcard price.
$1.04 pay-as-you-go; as low as 83¢ on an annual Dominate plan.
How long does USPS take after drop-off?
USPS delivery is separate from print time:
- Standard class (included in $1.04): typically 5–15 business days after drop-off
- First class (+23¢, $1.27 all-in): 2–6 business days after drop-off
If you need the card there in about a week, choose first class. See What mailing class should I use to get the postcard there in a week?.
Can I schedule a mailing for a later date?
Yes. You can set an order for a future mailing date. You still submit that order yourself; there is not a separate automatic recurring-order option outside products like PowerFarm.
How do I know it actually mailed?
After drop-off, open the Tracking section (also available from Orders) to see USPS scan data. Tracking uses USPS scans, and not every piece gets scanned.
Common questions
Does "within two business days" include weekends?
Business days exclude weekends and holidays. Orders are often mailed sooner than the two-business-day window.
Can I rush print?
The mailed (print-and-mail) service is printed and sent to USPS within two business days of payment. Choose first class if you need faster delivery after drop-off.
