Is Moonpig in the USA? Prices and 4 Alternatives (2026)

Yes, Moonpig operates in the USA. It runs a US storefront at moonpig.com/us that delivers to US and Canadian addresses, and cards are printed and mailed inside the United States rather than shipped over from Britain. A personalized thank-you postcard is $2.99 with free standard USPS shipping.

That matters because most "Moonpig alternatives" roundups are written for a British audience and compare it to Funky Pigeon and Thortful, neither of which mails to a US address. This one is for the American question, and it starts by admitting that Moonpig USA is a genuinely good, genuinely cheap option.

Disclosure: ShipNote is our product and it appears below. Moonpig's prices were checked against its own US product and delivery pages on September 7, 2026. The Postable, TouchNote and Handwrytten figures carry the verification dates from our fuller comparisons, linked in each row, because card pricing moves with USPS rates and promos.

What a card actually costs, all-in

Every figure below is the real number a US sender pays for one card, delivered, with postage counted in:

Moonpig USA is the second-cheapest single card on this page and it beats the American card-mailing services outright — Postable, TouchNote and Handwrytten all sit above $4.49 once the stamp is counted. If you are sending one card, Moonpig is a good answer and you can stop reading here.

One honesty note on that table: Moonpig advertises a Multi-Buy discount for larger orders but does not publish the per-card rate on its product pages, so we have not priced it. The single-card column is the comparison we can stand behind, and Moonpig's real cost on a batch is somewhere below its $2.99.

Is Moonpig available in the USA?

Yes. The US storefront sits at moonpig.com/us with its own "Deliver to US & CA" region setting, and Moonpig's own Mailed For You page describes cards being printed in the US and shipped "coast to coast for the cost of a stamp," with international mail at $2.40. Standard US delivery is quoted at 3 to 5 working days on USPS; Priority starts at $4.99.

The reason the question gets asked so often is that Moonpig's brand recognition is overwhelmingly British, so American searchers reasonably assume it is a UK-only service that would post cards across the Atlantic. It isn't, and it doesn't.

How much does Moonpig cost in the US?

A personalized Moonpig thank-you postcard is $2.99, at 145 x 103 mm, with free standard shipping. That is the price we checked on a live product page on September 7, 2026. Larger and standard greeting-card formats cost more, and Moonpig runs frequent promo codes for first-time customers, so a first order is often cheaper than its list price.

Two things to know before you take the sticker price at face value. Moonpig's free shipping is genuinely free on standard delivery, which is unusual in this category — Postable and Handwrytten both bill the stamp on top of the card. And the $2.99 is a postcard rate; a folded card in an envelope is a different, higher line.

Can Moonpig send one card to lots of different addresses?

Yes — and this is where most comparisons in this category get it wrong. Moonpig USA has a Multi-Buy Cards section built for exactly this: you add several cards and send them to multiple addresses in one order rather than checking out once per recipient.

So "Moonpig can't do batches" is not true, and we are not going to claim it. If you already have a clean list of addresses and you want everyone to get the same card, Moonpig will mail it.

The two differences are what happens on either side of that: how the list gets built, and whether the cards can differ from each other.

Difference one: you have to build the CSV yourself

Multi-Buy starts from the assumption that you already have the addresses, in a file, in its format. Moonpig's own upload guide asks for six columns — First Name, Last Name, Address, City/Town, County, Postcode — with a header row. For a company mailing a client list, that is a fair assumption; the list is already in a CRM.

For the job most people are actually doing here, it is not. After a wedding or a baby shower what you have is a registry page telling you who bought the walnut salad bowl, an inbox full of shipping confirmations, and no address at all for two-thirds of them. Turning that into Moonpig's six-column CSV is hours of copying, and it is the step that stalls thank-you cards for months.

ShipNote is built on that step instead of assuming past it. You paste the registry or the purchase emails in as they are, and an extraction model pulls out the names, the gifts and whatever addresses are in there. For the guests it can't find an address for, it asks them for one. There is no file to format.

Difference two: Moonpig sends everyone the same card. Ours differ.

This is the one that actually matters for thank-yous, and it is easy to miss because both products say "personalized."

Moonpig will slot each recipient's name into one shared message. But its CSV has no column for the gift — so it cannot say what any individual person actually gave you. Every card in a Moonpig batch carries the same body text.

A ShipNote message is a template with tokens, and each card is filled in from that person's own row:

Dear [RECIPIENT], thank you so much for the [GIFT_NAME] — we use it constantly and think of you every time.

[RECIPIENT] and [GIFT_NAME] resolve per card, so the salad bowl and the espresso grinder get named in their own notes, off the same three-line template. You can also open any individual card and rewrite it by hand before the batch goes out.

For a thank-you note, naming the gift is the note. A card that says "thank you for the lovely gift" to eighty people reads as what it is, and that is the ceiling of a same-body-text batch.

What Moonpig is better at

Moonpig is a far broader shop: birthday cards, mugs, flowers and gifts across four countries, plus a much larger card range and formats we don't print. It will sell you a single card for a single person as a one-off. If you want range, an attached gift, or international delivery, Moonpig is the better choice and it is cheap.

Which one to pick

• One card to one person: ShipNote at $2.49, postage included and no account to make — 50¢ under Moonpig's $2.99. Moonpig wins here only if you want a card design we don't carry, or a gift attached.
• A batch where you already have every address: ShipNote, unless the card design is the deciding factor. Moonpig mails everyone the same body text; ShipNote names each person's gift on their own card, and is $1.99 at ten or more against Moonpig's unpublished Multi-Buy rate off $2.99.
• A batch where the addresses are the problem: ShipNote, and it isn't close — the registry paste, the extraction and the address collection are the product, not an afterthought.
• A pen-written note on real card stock: neither — see our Handwrytten alternatives comparison, since both Moonpig and ShipNote print.

If you are working through a registry right now, the fastest way to send wedding thank-yous walks the whole batch end to end.

Frequently asked questions

What is the American version of Moonpig?

There isn't a single one, because Moonpig itself operates in the US. The closest American equivalents by job are ShipNote for batches of thank-you postcards at $1.99 a card all-in, Postable for one-off cards mailed for you, and TouchNote for photo postcards from your phone.

What is the cheapest alternative to Moonpig in the USA?

ShipNote, at $1.99 a card all-in on ten or more with First-Class postage included and no subscription. Below ten cards ShipNote is $2.49, still under Moonpig's $2.99 single-card rate. Moonpig discounts larger orders but does not publish that rate. Postable, TouchNote and Handwrytten all land above $4.49 once postage is counted.
