If you're a diligent letter-writer, you may not need these, but you might know someone who does. If you're not a diligent letter-writer, how do you expect anyone to write to you if you're unapologetically tardy?
These correspondence cards are letterpress printed on heavy, high-quality Fabriano Murillo paper, with your choice of envelope color. Each set includes five cards and five envelopes.
Price: $8.00 (includes shipping within the U.S.* but you may click here to purchase additional insurance)

My gosh, postage keeps just going up and up and up! And stamps just keep getting duller and duller and duller! What's a letter-writer to do? Pod Post feels your pain. Pod Post also spends a lot of time poking through the old stamp box at the local stamp and coin shop. These cards are the happy marriage of aesthetics and function. What you see here are five cards, each decorated with a hand-carved rubber stamp of Pod design and execution. Said cards come with five envelopes which have already been stamped for you (using valid vintage postage that corresponds to the 41 cent rate currently in effect). Yes, those are real stamps! And yes, there is room for you to write the address on the envelope! Your return address will just have to go on the back.
Each card is different and each envelope features a different assortment of stamps. Sadly, we cannot take requests for specific stamps.
Set of five cards.

Now a staple of the indie world, there was a time when cool 1" buttons weren't so easy to find. If you spotted someone wearing a handful of buttons on his or her jacket or vest, you could be pretty sure you'd find out something important about the person by reading them--usually what kind of music they liked to listen to.
We at PodPost feel that a well-chosen 1" button (or five) is still a smart fashion choice. And in addition to advertising our favorite zines and our friends' bands, we like to tell the world about our love for MAIL!
Each set contains four buttons. Brought to you by Jennie Pod's Red Letter Day project.

3-2-2-1 is the result of chance, caffeine-fueled writing sessions, a little library school, and the peculiarities of a personal soundtrack.
Like our other zines, this dos-a-dos is a collaborative one-shot, but with a dose of randomness. The way it works is this: Each Pod turned on her iPod and took note of the first ten songs that popped up in shuffle. Then a complicated numerical code was generated and assigned to each song. Next, a field trip to the main branch of the San Francisco Public Library, where the Pods found books that corresponded to the artificially generated Dewey Decimal numbers created with the code. And finally, 3-2-2-1 was born. We could not have done it without the gentle brainstorming attentions of Andrea Grimes of the Little Maga/Zine collection there.

Thirty-two pages, half-legal size, this little gem is hand-augmented with colored accents of both the rubber stamp and the pencil persuasion. This one-shot reflects the notebooks kept by two magpie collectors during a recent trip to Japan. Within you will find sidewalk rubbings, capsule bars, fortunes, crows, and ryoshu: the loneliness one feels when traveling or on a journey.
And with each purchase you'll receive a fetching envelope, plenty of rubber-stamped love, a heartwarming personal note, and a free! surprise!

Please be aware that if you do not choose to purchase shipping insurance for your package, we cannot guarantee a refund/replacement in the event of a missing order. For some reason (despite our careful attention to making the package look as dull as possible), the gremlins really like bento boxes and those little darlings are in limited supply.
