$9 seems quite excessive to mail a sheet of paper. I'm not sure whether or not people will be able to justify the inordinate price, and I'm of the opinion that it's simply too hight to be tenable.

As an aside, the site crashed upon closing the "learn more" dialog.

ah yes i agree $9 is not low, but i think we need to communicate more of what you'll receive in by mail.

we won't send just a sheet of paper, but rather a neatly printed letter on high quality paper (diploma quality stock) with maybe letter pressed adornments.

all in all, this a lean startup test of the idea. i'm not married to the price point, and thanks for the feedback!

$9.83 is a Starbucks grande latte in Oslo...
