The Waitlist

The waitlist is open.

Every letter is assembled by hand at one desk in Co. Louth, and Letter No. 1 posts this autumn. The waitlist is free, commits you to nothing, and hears everything first. No countdown tricks, no invented scarcity.

Put your name on the list

Joining the waitlist costs nothing and commits you to nothing. When Letter No. 1 is ready to post this autumn, you'll be the first to know.

You'll get Letter No. 0 (the cardinal letter) by email straight away, along with a printable 5x7 cardinal plate.

Three things, in order

  1. Today. Letter No. 0 and the printable cardinal plate arrive in your email. Read it. That is the product.
  2. Before launch. One email with the posting date and your invitation to subscribe, ahead of public ordering.
  3. The first Tuesday of launch month. Letter No. 1 goes into the post.

Asked before joining

Can I really cancel anytime?

Yes. Two clicks from any email we send, or one email to us. Your subscription stops at the end of the paid month. No phone call, no retention script.

What if a letter goes missing in the post?

We post it again, free, no questions. Letters travel as stamped international post, and once in a while one dawdles. Tell us and a replacement goes out.

Do prices include postage?

Yes. €10, €15 or €25 a month is everything, to anywhere. No postage surprise at checkout, no customs charges on printed paper at these values.
