To make things worse, due to the “weather,” the letter that I paid over $3 to mail 5 days ago is still in transit. Well that really is only going to save us 1 day of wait time because a regular mail letter would only take 2 days to get to him, and that only costs 50¢. It wasn’t until I had signed up and bought the $30+ token package that they clarified that letters are printed in Washington and shipped via fedex. We were under the impression that this app made it so someone at the actual boot camp location received the letters and printed them there, alleviating the wait for mail time. It was at his suggestion that I got this app to write to my son at boot camp. It should have been delivered yesterday, Monday, but as of 11am Tuesday, it is still in transit. But I sent a letter Friday 3/5 prior to the cutoff time so that it would reach my son in time for his birthday 3/9/21 TODAY.

UPDATE: It’s now almost a month since the “ice storm” and letters have been mostly on schedule. go big! I wrote so often and my recruit was happy to hear from me every time! They even send you updates and let you know what your recruit is doing each week. They offer packages as well that decrease the prices. It seemed a little pricy at first, but with the level of service that comes with these letters. you can include reply postage and you get a notification when your recruit writes back (tracking included)! The customer service is truly the best as well! I had so many questions! They never were annoyed, answered all my questions promptly, and were extremely helpful. They made her a little less homesick and appreciate daily mail call that much more. On top of that, I was able to include a full size picture in every letter.

Sandboxx made communication so much easier! I knew my recruit was getting the mail and the uplifting messages I was sending. clearly you can relate if you are looking at these reviews :) You are cut off from them for 13 weeks and everything is unknown. Honestly having a loved one go to basic is difficult. Only problem is the price of letters really. The letters I sent from Sandboxx got received a few days after I sent it while hand written ones I got from my husband took a week.Īll in all, Sandboxx is pretty good, letters are easier to write, less time consuming and they send the letters quickly. Usually when I got a call, he was pretty much up to date unless I said something that happened yesterday or couple days ago. The other thing is that letters are $4 each but they do cut the price a little when you by big bundles but you also get taxed.įor me, I think it’s pretty expensive but I would send daily letters to my husband while he was at basic and he got the letters very quickly. I think my only issues is how many notifications it sends of when you send a letter, it keeps giving me three notifications at the same time saying the same thing, “you’re letter has been delivered”. It lets you know updates and changes the person you’re writing too is going to be going through at basic training. It also sends photos from your phone so you won’t need to print any to send them but only one per letter. It’s kinda like texting a message from the phone which is what everyone does nowadays.

It’s very convenient when you don’t have the time to write a letter by hand and go through the process of having to put it in an envelope, writing the address, finding stamps then looking for a mailbox.
