I'm thinking about mailing out some postcards to my US-based prospects. So I checked out some sites like USPS.com and click2mail.com

These websites say that you can't use an International return address for mailings sent using their service. And that you must have a credit card with a US bank to actually make it work.

Do you guys know of any other services that are a bit more flexible for International users?

Thanks!

The "no" on international return address is probably an across-the-board regulation from the U.S. postal service. Your other issue is probably more flexible.

I have happily been using PostcardBuilder.com and they have great personal service. Ask them for help and maybe they can come up with solutions for you.

Marcia,

Thanks for your inputs.

What I read also stated that you can have international return addresses on stamped mails. So I guess it's allowed.

As for the website you gave me, it seems to be down at the moment. I'm getting an error message. I'll check it out later again.

Dean,

I would think most any printer that does mailing too would be able to help you with this. PostcardMania - Direct and Bulk Mail Postcards - Postcard Marketing Experts does both print and mail and I've also used QuantumDigital - Online, on-demand digital printing services to print and mail postcards for me. Send Out Cards also prints postcards in addition to greeting cards and mails from the US as well.

Sorry, but I'm not sure what any of their international requirements are.

HTH,

Steve

One tip the AWAI copywriting course is to get on a bunch of mailing lists to receive sales letters to build a swipe file.

Most of these lists are based in the USA. If you're not located in the USA, will these lists mail to me?

Never thought about doing this before, but if you'd like to send a limited number out of Japan let me know. Stamp costs 110yen (about $1.06) for a postcard to the US.
