The holidays are coming and that means we will be sending cards to friends, family and other acquaintances. The PostNL app makes this easier and more fun, because from now on you can also do this directly from your iPhone. This is how it works.
Send Hallmark tickets with the PostNL app
Although we are sending less and less real postcards to each other, many of course do this around the holidays. To celebrate this time of year, the PostNL app has a handy feature in store for you.
It is possible to send a Hallmark ticket via the app, which you can then send immediately. You pay 2.55 euros for the ticket and that includes the stamp. PostNL promises that if you send the card before 9 p.m., it will be delivered the next day.
It goes like this. When you start the latest version of the PostNL app, you will immediately see the option ‘Create a ticket!’ appear on the screen. Tap this, after which you have to choose a photo for the card.
That can be one from your gallery, but it is also possible to create one directly. Once you have chosen the photo, you can edit the card and add a personal message. When you’re done, enter the recipient’s address and pay.
Good to know: you can find the option below under the ‘Send’ tab. Here you choose ‘Send parcel or letter’, after which you will see the function to send a card at the bottom again.
Download the PostNL app for iOS
As mentioned, it is important that you use the latest version (4.15.0) of the PostNL app on your iPhone. The app can be downloaded via the button below and works on all devices with iOS 10 or higher. You also need about 100MB of free storage space.
