General information

How does it work?

Delivery

What happens once I’ve sent my ecard?

Once you’ve sent your eco-friendly surprise, you’ll be emailed a link to your unique page to view the ecard you sent and all your past orders. Your surprise will be sent when you've scheduled it or within 15 minutes if you selected to send it straight away. On your unique orders page, you'll also find a link for each of the ecards you've sent. You can send this link directly to your recipient via a different channel as well if you'd prefer.


Can I send an ecard to more than one person at a time?

Yes! You can send ecards to up to 10 people at a time, and you can personalise your message and the delivery details for each recipient. If you make a donation to support our work when sending multiple ecards, you'll only be charged once.


What if I want to change the details of my ecard once it's been scheduled?

Once you've scheduled your surprise you won't be able to make any changes to it. If you really need to cancel your order, please contact our Supporter Relations Team and they'll help you.


How do I know if my ecard has been sent?

In your confirmation email, you’ll receive a link to your unique page where you’ll be able to view all your past orders. The order status will update to “Sent” once it’s been processed by our system and is out for delivery with our virtual postie.


What if my ecard doesn't arrive?

Please give your ecard a little while to arrive, just in case our virtual postie gets a bit delayed. If your recipient still hasn't received their surprise 30 minutes after the expected delivery time, please ask them to check their junk email folder. If it's still nowhere to be found, please contact our Supporter Relations Team and they will help you.


I’ve had a problem sending my ecard, how can I get in touch?

We’re really sorry that you’ve encountered a problem. Please get in touch with our Supporter Relations team so we can help resolve it.

Do I have to show recipients that I've made a donation?
