FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Cardame cards printed and mailed from?

All Cardame cards are printed, personalized, addressed, stamped, and mailed from our headquarters in Richmond, Virginia. We handle every step in-house before your card enters the USPS mail stream.

How long does it take for my card to arrive?

Delivery time depends on the recipient’s location. Cards mailed within Virginia typically arrive in 1–2 business days, while cards mailed to the West Coast usually take 4–5 business days. See our full delivery estimate table above for a region-by-region breakdown.

Does Cardame offer guaranteed delivery dates?

Cardame mails all cards using USPS First-Class Mail, which does not include a money-back delivery guarantee. The estimates provided reflect typical USPS transit times, but actual delivery can vary due to weather, holidays, and postal volume.

When does the delivery estimate clock start?

Delivery estimates begin from the date your card ships from our Richmond, VA facility, not the date you place your order. Please allow for production and processing time before the mailing estimate applies.

Will my card arrive in time for a birthday or special occasion?

We recommend ordering at least 5–7 business days before the occasion to account for both production time and USPS delivery, especially for cards headed to the West Coast, Mountain West, Alaska, or Hawaii.

Can I track my mailed card after it ships?

Yes! Once your card has been mailed, you’ll receive tracking information so you can follow its journey from our Richmond,VA facility to your recipient’s mailbox. To track a card, go to our Card Tracker and enter your order ID and email.

USPS Delivery Times by Region

Card delivery speed depends primarily on how far your recipient is from Richmond, VA. Cards mailed within Virginia and nearby states like Maryland and North Carolina typically arrive within 1–3 business days. Cards traveling to the Midwest or South Central U.S. usually take 3–4 business days, while West Coast and Mountain West deliveries average 4–5 business days. Alaska and Hawaii may take up to 7 business days due to additional USPS transit requirements.

Fast Greeting Card Delivery from Richmond, VA Mailing Facility

Every Cardame greeting card is printed, personalized, addressed, stamped, and mailed directly from our Richmond, Virginia headquarters. Because we handle printing and mailing in-house rather than outsourcing to a third-party fulfillment center, we can offer consistent, predictable USPS delivery times for every card we send — no matter where in the country your recipient lives.

How to Make Sure Your Card Arrives on Time

Because Cardame cards are mailed via USPS First-Class Mail, we recommend ordering at least 5–7 business days before a birthday, holiday, or special occasion — especially for recipients on the West Coast or in more remote regions. This buffer accounts for both card production time and standard USPS transit time, helping your card arrive exactly when it matters most.

Why Mailing Location Affects Your Card’s Delivery Estimate

Unlike email or digital greeting cards, physical cards are subject to real-world shipping logistics. Since every Cardame card originates from our Richmond, VA facility, delivery estimates are based on standard USPS zone-based transit times rather than a one-size-fits-all shipping window. This means delivery to nearby East Coast states will always be faster than delivery to the Pacific Northwest, Southwest, or Hawaii.
