This company is decent if you provide photos for you love one, however the phone number they provide you, does not work most of the time, i contact them already multiple times, i funded the account as well, and my inmate still has issues using the phone number as the calls don't come in at all. But if you need it to send photos without a limit, this app is good for the photos, and greeting cards.

Never works
February 21, 2021

This is a mon-fri service. If you have any problems on the weekends it doesn't work. They never answer the phone. They aren't helpful at all.
I have 25 on my account and the number still doesn't work. It picks and chooses when it will work.

Happy it exists!
February 11, 2021

I like this website it helps a lot. I don't have as much anxiety sending pictures to my boyfriend on here as I do in the mail. I get notifications when they are packaged and shipped and then again when they are delivered. The only thing that I have had a problem with on this site is when I have tried to send a greeting card it stays on the page that says 1% updating images. It never fully loads it just stays on the 1% uploading images page. Other than that everything else has worked great. I did send my boyfriend a postcard and he did receive that.

The Sending
February 22, 2021

I love the way this system works, only I'm disappointed because it sais unlimited but it won't let you send the way you would expect to it being unlimited. One order takes more then a week and longer for the other party to receive

Dear Lydia,
I sincerely apologize for the confusion the reason you are only able to send only one of each product at a time is that we don't want the facility to throw out any of your important mail in case they have a restriction as to how many mail orders of the same product can be received in one day. Mail is sent through the regular post office so that may affect the time it takes to arrive. Please call us if you have any questions!
