Credits

One wallet for everything: a paid email letter costs 1 credit or more, a paper letter 6 credits or more.

  • A paid email letter costs 1 credit or more: one that waits more than a year, carries more files, uses another layout, is sent anonymously or goes by text message too
  • 1 credit more for every 5 years a letter waits beyond the first 5 years, and 1 credit more for every 25 MB of files beyond 25 MB. A letter that repeats every year pays this for each year; a paper letter never does
  • A paper letter costs 6 credits or more, depending on the destination country and the delivery option
  • You see what a letter costs in the composer before you confirm
  • Credits never expire, and a letter deleted before it goes out gives its credits back

Questions and answers

What is free?

5 email letters a month, each arriving within a year, with a few small files. No card needed.

When does a letter cost credits?

When it needs more than a free letter has: a delivery date further than a year ahead (up to 100 years), more or larger files, a longer recording, another email layout, anonymous sending, a text message, or when the free letters of the month are used up. The composer says so before you send.

How do credits work?

You buy them in packs, they stay in your wallet, and they never expire. A paid email letter takes 1 credit or more: 1 credit more for every 5 years it waits beyond the first 5 years, and 1 credit more for every 25 MB of files beyond 25 MB. A paper letter takes 6 credits or more. Deleting a letter before it goes out gives the credits back.

What does a paper letter cost?

6 credits or more. It depends on the destination country and on whether you choose tracked delivery. The composer shows the exact cost before you send.

Do unused free letters carry over?

No. The free letters start again on the first of each month. Credits, on the other hand, never expire.

Is my payment safe?

Payments are handled by our payment provider. We never see or store your card number.
