They’re back and trying to say they’re not a scam
I had this app about a decade ago. After trying it out a few times, I ended up buying a bunch of credits (don’t remember exactly how many, maybe around 20 or so). As soon as I did this, a couple postcards took literal MONTHS to arrive and then most of them just never showed up.
Suddenly, now about ten years later, I start getting emails from them about how they’re under new management, and when I asked their customer service if they’d be able to replace lost credits/credits that were used on cards that were never printed, they won’t do that, and they won’t even offer a sample card or two to prove that the service works. I wish I could completely delete my account so they stop using my personal info for their marketing.Developer Response

I used this app back in the day and it was pretty good. I see they are back and I wish them well. I changed my location in the app to USA but it will still only give me prices in English pounds. One postcard is about three pounds, which is an utterly absurd price, but maybe postage in England is expensive. There is also some sort of credit system where credits correspond to pounds, but not to the cost of sending. It’s confusing and seems set up for you to always have lingering credits in your account. Based solely on the price, I will not be using this version of the app. And there seems to be no way for me to delete my account. I wish them the best, but I’ll pass.Developer Response
Hi Nijo150, Thanks for your feedback. You are right. For now the app is currently only in pounds / GBP. We will note this down for our future development roadmap about USD. We are happy that you like the app. The prices on postcards have risen since the old app worked. Please contact support@bypost.com and we will be able to delete your account and data or assist you with your queries. We are here to help and support you. Have a great day. Best, ByPost Customer TeamDidn’t work
Took my money and not a single postcard ever showed up!
