Sympathy thank-you cards: price per card, delivered
Acknowledgment cards are priced per card, and the curve is steep: a 10-pack often runs $1.20–$2.00 each while a 50-pack of the same card falls to $0.45–$0.80. Count the register book entries first, add 20%, then buy one pack rather than reordering.
Printed-message cards save time when there are dozens to send; blank interiors read as more personal for close family. Many families split the order — printed for acquaintances, blank for the twenty people who did the most.
Landed cost — item plus shipping — across 48 retailers and 274,000+ products.

Questions buyers ask
Who needs a thank-you note?
Anyone who sent flowers, gave a donation, brought food, served as a pallbearer, or traveled a distance. A signed line is enough — length is not the point.
How long do I have to send them?
Two to three weeks is customary, but later is far better than never. Nobody grieving is judged on timing.
Are printed messages impersonal?
Not if you add one handwritten sentence and sign it. That single line is what people remember.
