And ever better: lets you send one postcard (inside Switzerland) for free per day.
Does that czech website have an address?
UK is private enterprise rather than Royal Mail

One example I just found. £2 to address in UK and £3 international.

A thought has crossed my mind: if these kinds of site are quite common across the world and charge lower rates for sending cards within their local country, perhaps there is an opportunity for someone to set up a central Web site that finds you a local service? Add a small percentage?

Maybe this is the one (cant use translate on my phone): https://www.ceskaposta.cz/cs/ke-stazeni/mobilni-aplikace-poh...
Correct.

The documentation says you must buy either 3 postcards or 10 from within the app. 3 postcards sent internationally cost 168CZK = $7.64.

3 postcards sent to the EU cost €6.34.

Seems to cost €2 internationally on this french website : https://www.merci-facteur.com/tarifs.php
How cool!
