Question: I want to purchase multiple Mysterious Boxes of Mystery. Will they eachhave the same stuff inside?
Answer: Yes, boxesof the same style will contain the same items. Whilewe do swap out the contents occasionally (see below), it's best to assume that boxes of the same style are identical.
Question:I saw videos on YouTube and everyone got "X" in their Mysterious Box of Mystery, butI didn't get that item in my box!
Answer:If you really want a particular item, we suggest you simply purchasethat item.The Mysterious Box of Mystery changes often, andit's meant to be a surprise.
We strive to ensure that the retail value of the items included in each box exceeds what you have paid for the box. The trade-off, obviously, is that you don't get to choose the contents of the box. If you'd prefer a deal without the mystery, check out our coupons.
Question:What's the difference between the different boxes? Will I get more expensive items in the costlier boxes?
Answer: Not necessarily! A more expensive box doesn't guarantee that you'll receive more expensive items. Instead, you may find that a Large Mysterious Box of Mystery contains twice as many items that are of similar price to what is found in a Small box. However, it is possible that some Large or Ultra Mega boxes would contain higher priced items. This is all part of what makes these boxes so mysterious!
Question:What if I don't like what's in my box?
Answer: Impossible!In all seriousness, we work diligently to include a variety of popular items in each iteration of the Mysterious Box of Mystery. We're certain you'll be pleased with our choices. However, due to the pre-packed nature of this product, we cannot accept returns. Remember, surprises are fun!
Question: The box I received is smaller than the one pictured!
Answer: A smaller box doesn’t mean it’s inexpensive. A small item may be expensive (see engagement rings and iPhones). Our goal is to pack a variety of items that appeal to a wide range of interests and ages into each and every box. Because they are made in small batches, the size of each Mysterious Box of Mystery will change frequently.
Question:How often do you change the contents of the Mysterious Box of Mystery?
Answer: We pre-pack each style in batches, which we call "builds". We attempt to vary the contents with each new batch we create, but it's possible that you could receive identical builds on multiple purchases, even if you make separate orders (especially if little time has passed between orders). See the History section below for more details.
Question: Will my 8-year old love every item inside the box?
Answer: We hope so! Please keep in mind that the Mysterious Box of Mystery is designed to appeal to a wide range of ages and interests. Remember, surprises can be fun!
Question: Can you tell me how many items will be inside the box?
Answer: While we hate to spoil a surprise, we will let you in on just this one tiny secret. Every box will have at least 7 different items. Now go forth and purchase one as we've already said too much!
Because we're always finding new awesome stuff and we're so excited to share it all with you, we frequently update the contents of our Mystery Boxes (see the build dates below). However, just because we made a curated collection of awesome on a certain day, that doesn't mean we instantly sold out of those builds. Ordering separate Mystery Boxes doesn't guarantee that you'll get something different from box to box, but it does guarantee that you'll be getting something awesome.
