A Cautionary Tale...

Here at Mail Order Mystery it drives us crazy to see the holiday displays going up in stores as kids go back to school. We have always believed in the rule that Christmas shopping should commence after Halloween. As parents it only seems fair to get through one big kid holiday before you have to start planning the next one.

But we are also realists, so we believe that rules are made to be broken when necessary. And if you've been reading the news lately, you probably already know that this is not the year to be waiting until after Halloween to start your holiday shopping. The news has been full of stories about a major toy shortage this holiday season. 

Blame the pandemic, blame the collapse of the global supply chain, blame a labor shortage. It doesn't really matter, everyone is saying that you should get your shopping done early.

There is no better time than right now to order a Mail Order Mystery. If you choose our "All in One Box" delivery option, we'll ship your entire mystery out right away. You can stash it in the closet and you'll have all of the installments ready to hand out at your pace and on your timeline. Or with our "Send Weekly" option, you can place your order now and choose a date closer to the holidays that you want us to mail the first installment.

So why wait? Play it safe. Eliminate the stress. Order now and it’s a win-win-win for you, for us, and for the kids you love.
