Put their address in as the shipping address at checkout. We print within 2 business days and mail the prints flat in a rigid mailer with USPS tracking. The confirmation and tracking emails come to you, so they won't see it coming.

For Christmas delivery, order by December 10 to be safe. Priority Mail ($15 at checkout) ships the next business day and usually arrives 1 to 3 days after that.

Square
2.4 × 2.4 in picture. About a third more picture than a Mini: the easiest to see, best on a fridge or in a frame.

Frequently asked

Can I ship the prints straight to my parents?

Yes. Enter their address as the shipping address at checkout. The confirmation and tracking emails come to you, so the surprise holds until the mailer arrives. We ship to US addresses only.

Which size is best for grandparents?

Square, usually. Its picture is 2.4 x 2.4 inches, about a third more picture than a Mini, so faces are easier to see. Mini prints (2.1 x 3.4 inches overall) are the ones that fit a wallet.

Can I put photos from different family members in one order?

Yes. Collect everyone's favorites in a group text or a shared album, save them to your phone, and upload them in one order. Every print in a pack can be a different photo.

Do my parents need an app or a printer?

No. You order from your phone's browser and they get real prints in the mail. There is nothing for them to set up, charge or update.

When should I order for Christmas?

We print and ship within 2 business days, then USPS takes over with tracking. For Christmas delivery, order by December 10 to be safe. Priority Mail ($15 at checkout) ships the next business day and usually arrives 1 to 3 days after that.
