The recipient scans the QR code with their phone camera, lands on a Walkman-style web player, and hears your 30-second voice intro. The Spotify or Apple Music playlist URL is printed on the postcard so they can open it in their music app.
Mixed Tape Courier is a service that mails a real 4x6 postcard styled like a 90s cassette tape. The postcard has a QR code that opens a Walkman-style web player where the recipient hears a 30-second voice intro from the sender. The sender's Spotify or Apple Music playlist URL is printed directly on the postcard.

You can paste any public Spotify or Apple Music playlist URL. We print that URL directly on the postcard so the recipient can open it in their preferred music app.
Voice intros are recorded in your browser and can be up to 30 seconds long. You can re-record before paying if you don't like the take.
No. Recipients open the camera app on their phone, scan the QR code on the postcard, and the Walkman player loads in their browser. No login, no app install.
Your voice note is unlisted. It is only reachable via the unique URL printed on the recipient's postcard, it is not searchable, and it is excluded from search engines and AI crawlers.
Checkout is handled by Stripe and accepts major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Yes. You choose the label text printed on the cassette graphic (up to 20 characters). It also appears on the digital Walkman player so the recipient sees the same label they hold in their hand.
The QR code can be opened on any phone, tablet, or laptop with a camera or by typing the printed URL into a browser. The Walkman player works on any modern browser.
Each order is for one postcard so each recipient gets a personal voice intro and label. To send several mixtapes, place an order for each recipient.
Mixed Tape Courier is one of the most memorable novelty gifts for music fans. It combines the nostalgia of a physical cassette tape with a personal voice message and a curated playlist — all delivered as a real postcard for $15. Unlike a streaming subscription or a gift card, it is a tangible, personalised keepsake they can hold in their hands.
Yes — it makes an excellent birthday gift for anyone who loves music. You record a short voice message, attach a playlist you have curated for the birthday person, and we mail a cassette-styled postcard directly to their address. It arrives as a physical surprise in the post, which is far more memorable than a text or a digital playlist share.
Mixed Tape Courier is a perfect Valentine's Day gift for music fans and anyone who appreciates a thoughtful, personal gesture. Making someone a mixtape is one of the oldest romantic gestures there is — we just bring it into the streaming era as a real postcard with a voice message attached.
Absolutely. A curated playlist with a personal voice intro captures a milestone moment in a way that a card alone cannot. Graduation mixtape postcards are especially popular because they can be personalised with songs that defined the recipient's school years, and they arrive in the post as a physical keepsake.
A Spotify link is a notification that gets swiped away. Mixed Tape Courier is a physical object — a real 4x6 postcard designed to look like a 90s cassette — that arrives in the mailbox, can be pinned to a wall, and carries a personal 30-second voice intro recorded just for the recipient. It is the ritual of making a mixtape, not just sharing a URL.
Mixed Tape Courier is a novelty gift because it combines something tactile and nostalgic — the cassette tape aesthetic — with modern digital convenience. The recipient gets a physical postcard they can keep, alongside a voice message and a streaming playlist. No other gift delivers all three at once for $15 flat.
Yes. Mixed Tape Courier ships worldwide. Whether the recipient is across town or across the ocean, we print and mail the postcard to their address. International delivery typically takes 2–3 weeks, so plan ahead for time-sensitive occasions.
Within the United States, mixtape postcards typically arrive in 5–7 business days. For international addresses, allow approximately 2–3 weeks. If the birthday is coming up soon, order early to make sure it lands in the mailbox in time.
No wrapping required. The postcard arrives in the recipient's mailbox just as it is — a beautifully printed cassette-themed card addressed to them. Opening the post and discovering it is part of the experience.
Yes. You can add a personal message (up to 300 characters) that we print on the back of the postcard, and you record a 30-second voice intro in your own voice — which is as close to a handwritten note as digital can get. The cassette label text is also fully customizable.
Yes. When placing your order you can write a personal message of up to 300 characters that gets printed on the back of the postcard. Combined with your voice intro, the recipient gets both a written and a spoken message from you.
You can build a playlist around a mood, a decade, or a shared memory rather than specific artists. Spotify and Apple Music both have ready-made playlists you can share, so even if you are unsure, you can find something that fits — nostalgic 90s hits, chill acoustic, upbeat pop, and so on.
