FAQ

Will my letter get there?

I print the letters and post them after that it's in the hands of the postal service, assuming you provided a correct address that is deliverable it will get there with the consistency of the regional postal service.

Where do you send letters too?

Anywhere post is delivered.

Roadmap??

This is mostly a fun art project; but I'm open to seeing where it goes. In the immedieate future I need to get some better admin controls in place so I don't have to print your letters directly from a databse. Then it will be quality of life improvements for the end user.
