Mail call smiles start with YOU! π
The experience of receiving mail while incarcerated cannot be emphasized enough. Our incarcerated loved ones eagerly anticipate these mail call moments as they represent a lifeline to the world beyond prison walls. It's not just about the card itself- it's about the connection, the reassurance, and the knowledge that someone on the outside cares.

Navigating the process of sending mail to correctional facilities can be confusing and challenging. Every facility has their own unique rules and regulations for what kind of mail they can accept, including greeting cards. Greetings by Pelipost cards are created and shipped with facility guidelines in mind.
If your loved one's facility accepts greeting cards, you'll select the facility at checkout and enter your loved one's ID information. Our team will then print and ship your card directly to your loved one's facility in an approved envelope.
Standard shipping is 5-7 business days. Once your products arrive at the facility, they will still need to undergo inspection by the facility's mail room staff before they are delivered to your loved one.Β Facility inspection times can vary depending on a variety of factors, including holidays and the size and staffing of the facility. A good rule of thumb is to count on an additional 3-5 days for inspection time once your order arrives to the facility. After inspection, your products will be delivered to your loved one to enjoy!
Expedited shipping is 3-5 business days.Β This option is only available for our Letters and 2024 Calendars.
Many facilities do not accept greeting cards printed on cardstock. For this reason, our cards are printed on highest-quality glossy photo paper. Our cards are all a standard 5x7 inch size, and they are shipped in a plain white envelope in order to follow facility guidelines.

Language matters, and the term βinmateβ is a word loaded with stigma and assumptions. At Pelipost, we are committed to using person-first language that doesnβt reduce a person to one aspect of their life the way βinmateβ does, such as βincarcerated personβ or βincarcerated loved one.β Unfortunately, always using person-first language on our website would harm our search engine rankings, making it harder for people looking to send greeting cards to their incarcerated loved ones to find us. So, if you see the term βinmateβ in certain places on our site, we want you to know why. Weβre working to change this- and we hope youβll join us in our mission to create a more compassionate and inclusive environment for families experiencing incarceration.
