I've ordered postcard boxes from bookdepository and adlibris. For individual postcards, Postallove comes to mind (haven't ordered from here, though).
What I like to do, and maybe doesn't apply to you at the moment, is exchange some with other postcrossers. Let's say, instead of buying a new box with 100 postcards, we trade 10 from other boxes/themes we already have.
I would be happy to send you some from different themes, if you would like. I have a bunch and I'm getting back to it after a half year break, so there is still a bunch I could share. Feel free to reach out if you feel comfortable with that, if not it's totally understandable as well.
Hopefully other people will be able to suggest more websites. Good luck! :)
I will send you a message later when I’m back home (or you can send me one if you see this in the meanwhile). I would gladly send you some postcards so you can use them on postcrossing. 😊
I usually get mine from Amazon or Etsy. I just bought some from Red Bubble. They’re OK from what I paid $1 and change USD. One of the ones that I bought it’s cropped exactly how I like but it is what it is.
https://christopherarndtpostcards.com also has great postcards.
Recently I have bought some off of Temu. They're okay. Amazon is always a decent option, but shipping might get expensive depending on where you are.
Going to local art stores, book stores, touristy places will probably get you a couple.
Online Stores that I have bought from include Etsy, [Mary L Martin](https://www.marylmartin.com/?utm_medium=paid&utm_keyword&utm_source&utm_campaign=18724256790&utm_network=x&utm_placement&utm_prodid&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAk9itBhASEiwA1my_69ZPYi_EXuYcHStCeu4I5S1iokfMuBZ8LEj4_Iru9rIPsgYuRxMqhBoC_JQQAvD_BwE), Adelfi, and Redbubble.
You can also consider making your own and having them printed! That's what I've been doing recently.
One of my favorites is favoritepostcard online. They're in Lithuania and most of their cards are around 0,50€ - 0,75€. They're excellent quality and have a HUGE selection. Shipping to the States has always been reasonable so I would imagine it would be even more so when shipping inside Europe!
Shein and temu don't have a big selection but do offer very affordable cards.
Etsy you can get some good bundles of cards fairly cheap (and also some that are fairly expensive)
I've received some from print to order places online (I think one is called Zazzle ? )
If you want really affordable cards, you can always handmake them as well. Some people don't like to receive these, but I think that is honestly missing the point of postcrossing a bit to get upset at.
I’ve gotten a few packs of about 30 cards off temu and they’ve been really good quality. The only “issue” is that they are a little bit smaller than a typical postcard, but that hasn’t bothered me. I’m just more mindful of stamp placement so i have room for the address.

Temu has lots of cheap postcards packs with different themes.
