If you are a postcard collector or an active postcrosser living outside of Russia, you might be wondering: "How does the mail system work when I order from a shop thousands of miles away?" At Postal Shop we have been sending smiles across borders since 2011, and we know exactly how to make the world feel a little smaller.
Why Order Postcards from Russia?
Russia has one of the most vibrant postcrossing communities in the world. Our artists create unique designs that are highly sought after by collectors in Europe, Asia and the Americas. By ordering from our shop you get access to:
- Premium Quality: Our cards are printed on heavy cardstock that survives the long journey across oceans.
- Authentic Art: Unique Russian culture, stunning nature and local city views that will stand out in any collection.

Shipping internationally can be a test of patience but the result is always worth it. Here is what you need to know about our global delivery in 2026:
- Tracking: All international orders are sent with a tracking number so you can follow your postcards' journey from Russia to your local post office.
- Delivery Times: On average international shipping takes between 14 and 30 days, depending on your location and local customs processing.
