* Mail dates assume you approve your proof (if applicable) by 11:30pm ET / 8:30pm PT on the day you receive it. Your checkout shows your mail date.
Don't see Mail It For Me at checkout?
It only appears on eligible orders. You need Recipient and Return Addressing, no envelope liner or white-ink envelope, and the card must be the only item in your cart. Availability may also be limited.
If you believe your order is eligible but don’t see the option, contact Minted Customer Service for help.
Tips for sending on time
- Order early to give your cards more time to arrive.
- Approve your proof right away. Your mail date depends on it.
- Check every address. Undeliverable cards go back to your return address.
- Express Service has no proof step, so addresses can't change after you order.

** Pricing reflects Standard International shipping (estimated delivery in 6-8 business days for Framed Art items).
*** To calculate your total Standard shipping rate, find the item in your order with the most expensive “1st item” price. Then add to that the “additional item” price for every other item in your order. Shipping discounts for additional items apply to Standard shipping rates only.
a few things to note
- Duties, taxes and fees. The shipping cost you see at checkout covers what Minted and our carriers charge for shipping your order. It does not include duties, taxes, or other customs fees, which are determined by governments in accordance with local laws. If you’re in the U.S. ordering from an international seller in our Third-Party Marketplace, or if you’re outside the U.S. ordering from Minted or a U.S. seller, these additional fees may apply. Duties and taxes are collected from you separately, by the carrier and not by Minted. This may happen when the package is delivered, or it may be billed to you by the carrier later. In some cases, the carrier may hold the package until import duties are paid. For any additional questions regarding duties and fees, please reach out directly to the carrier.
- Contact us for help shipping to APO / FPO or P.O. Box addresses.
- Shipping times may vary for orders delivered to Alaska or Hawaii. Standard shipping to Alaska and Hawaii is 9 business days.
- We don’t ship with a signature required, but when it comes time to deliver, requiring a signature is at the delivery driver’s discretion.
- Shipping business days are defined as Monday through Friday for Rush, Expedited, and Priority, and Tuesday through Saturday for Standard shipping to residences. Shipping business days exclude New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
- Shipping timelines on this page may not apply to items from our Third-Party Marketplace. Minted offers various shipping options for our Third-Party Marketplace items, including Standard, Expedited, Priority, and Rush. The options and prices vary based on the size of the item, the location of the seller, and the delivery address for the order.
