World's smallest post service - DIY kit

Remember the World's smallest postal service we wrote about two years ago? They make tiny customisable letters that you can send to your loved ones, and which look like this:

137658264 500x375

Cute, right? It's impossible not to smile when you get one of these in the mail! :)

Lea Redmond, the Postmistress of the Word's Smallest Post Service, has recently teamed up with Chronicle Books to make a do-it-yourself kit that allows anyone to do those amazing tiny letters and packages at home!

The World's Smallest Post Service kit comes with paper, pen, minuscule stamps, stickers, packing material and even a little magnifying glass, so that you can write and send your own tiny letters and parcels.

The kit is available at the Amazon.com for $15.61.

They don't ship outside of the USA and Canada! :( Has anyone found this elsewhere? I'll have a look for somewhere that ships internationally...

This will never make it through German postal system... :(

Finerst, Finland
So it must be sent inside a bigger envelope - the Finnish post has certain minimum requirements for the cards or/and envelopes; this does not meet the them! :(
Great idea, anyhow :D

washawaymyfears, United States of America
oh i love this... i would be a bit worried about mailing it that small, i would probably put it in a larger envelope.

de88ie, United States of America
Really cute but I feel it would need a larger envelope to mail but it would be fun to take to the post office and what the postman expression when trying to mail it :) Wish it was shipped to US!

I have seen this before. My friend who lives in Ca. sent me the same info. on FB. I would love to order this and send it. I think it would be best to send it in a bigger envelope so it doesn't get lost. On the site they have many other fun things to order also.
Happy postcrossings!

What a wonderful idea!
A lot of you who posted failed to notice that one packs the tiny envelope with the magnifying glass into a package to send! This is fabulous! I want this!
