75Steph,
Thankful Mom
I’ll admit I was skeptical of paying for a service to send letters to my son when I could send him a handwritten letter from home. However, our family has come to life Sandboxx and what it provides for us. We still send those handwritten letters from home as we love doing that as all the letters he sends us are handwritten and I think he enjoys those. Sandboxx has given us the option to write a letter at lunch or on our breaks at work. The option to add one picture (my tip is to make a picture collage and add multiple pics to our letters that way) and have him receive the letter quicker than He could regular mail. If I send before 4 pm eastern time, the letter ships that evening and it’s received on post the next day. He usually doesn’t receive until the following day, but still a faster way to communicate to him. We also love that he gets paper and an envelope to mail back. I can also add return postage and he doesn’t even have to worry about the stamp! What’s even better for this mom, is when he replies I get a notification that I’m getting mail back from him. Sandboxx customer service has been quick and super friendly and helpful! Don’t hesitate to give it a try, it’s a wonderful way to provide support to your family and/or friends!
CreyFsh16,
Good but a bit pricy
I really like this app a lot! 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. It’s kinda like texting a message from the phone which is what everyone does nowadays. It also sends photos from your phone so you won’t need to print any to send them but only one per letter. It lets you know updates and changes the person you’re writing too is going to be going through at basic training.
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”. 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.
For 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. 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 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.
All in all, Sandboxx is pretty good, letters are easier to write, less time consuming and they send the letters quickly. Only problem is the price of letters really.

Bon Kid,
Sandboxx letters
This is a wonderful service in keeping up with technology and the New Army. I would recommend that you give new customers that purchase your service access to a sample copy of the newsletters you offer. The daily motivation, the scripture verses and the off duty. Since I have no clue what is actually in these, I do not intend to spend more money for something my son may not even care to have. I know during my Boot Camp days, many centuries ago, I never had the time or energy to read anything other than my training manuals. I gave you three stars because of the weekly updates. While it is fantastic to get an idea of what specific training cycle my son is experiencing, and your tips on questions to ask is very helpful. I think you could add an additional paragraph that specifically relates to the recruit and the unit he is in. Like who his Drill Sergeants are and their bio’s, the kind of meals he is getting at the chow hall, to include field rations and MRE’s. Something more specific about the platoon he is in. Which recruits were made squad leaders and guide and meritorious promotions. How many hours they spent in Drill, or on the range. Just my opinion. I know that info would require your staff have a closer connection and communication with the Platoon. Of course we wouldn’t want unneeded distraction from training. Otherwise, your service is fantastic and I wish you all the success.

Navy Mom_1023,
Excellent connection to my recruit
When my son joined we thought we knew more than most about what to expect but I cannot thank Sandboxx, and the men and women who keep it running , enough for providing a crucial connection to my son. He was truly on his own for the first couple weeks but I know it meant the world to him to have his letters arriving with regularity once he began to receive them. The pictures were key. When these young men and women leave a life including social media, the pictures can be a great comfort. I know my son was happy to see the pictures of us being silly. These letters fill their evenings before bedtime and on Sundays when they get a little down time. It took me about a week to figure out the aspects of buying tokens, mailing letters, attaching pictures, sending gift cards and watching the Sandboxx timeline, but I think it was well worth the patience, because my son said it made a difference! (Not sure if their time lines changed, but i had to be sure to write my letter by Thursday early afternoon for Monday/Tuesday delivery.) It was also great that I could add the pre-addressed envelope with return postage and all he had to do was write his letter on the provided paper — so he didn’t have to worry about the rest. Welcomed convenience to extremely tired recruits!
Jesi.Lee,
The absolute best!
Honestly having a loved one go to basic is difficult.. clearly you can relate if you are looking at these reviews :) You are cut off from them for 13 weeks and everything is unknown. Sandboxx made communication so much easier! I knew my recruit was getting the mail and the uplifting messages I was sending. On top of that, I was able to include a full size picture in every letter. They made her a little less homesick and appreciate daily mail call that much more. Even better.. 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. It seemed a little pricy at first, but with the level of service that comes with these letters.. I would invest again and again. They offer packages as well that decrease the prices.. 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. Invest in Sandboxx.. you won’t regret the decision.
NaaNee2,
Great service, easy to use
I have used this app to send 8 letters. It’s very easy to use. I had one problem where i sent multiple letters, since it only limits you to 6000 characters per letter, at once and my friend only received one out of the five i had sent. I messaged the customer service team and after a day i was informed that they had resent ALL of my letters free of charge! I was very thankful for that! I highly recommend using this app to send letters to your loved ones or friends who are in active duty or training right now. It’s easy to use and very simple, and it pays for both ways! Allows you to send photos and other stuff too if that’s your thing. On thing to note is that it takes about a week to send and receive a conversation. Your letter sends out on Monday i believe, and if your loved ones or friend writes back asap you’ll get their letter by friday or saturday. If you send your letter on friday/saturday/or sunday, it takes until monday to print and send out! Another thing to note is that it’s about $4 to send a mail, but you can get bundles that are cheaper, like 3 for $10 which is what i usually get because that’ll last a month (unless you use multiple letters per mail!). Other than that, it’s very easy to use, and has excellent tracking to see where your letter is at, or where your loved ones / friends letter is at! love it
Vkgbrla,
Waste of money
UPDATE: It’s now almost a month since the “ice storm” and letters have been mostly on schedule. 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. It should have been delivered yesterday, Monday, but as of 11am Tuesday, it is still in transit. Thanks, Sandboxx 😡😡😡😡
[ORIGINAL REVIEW:] My son’s recruiter is a great salesman. It was at his suggestion that I got this app to write to my son at boot camp. 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 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. 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¢. To make things worse, due to the “weather,” the letter that I paid over $3 to mail 5 days ago is still in transit. I mailed another one yesterday (might as well, since I am stuck with this for 8 more tokens), and it is in the same place on the tracking as the letter I sent 5 days ago. Their customer service responds quickly via email when you send them a question, but that’s not what I paid $30+ for. Won’t be using this after the tokens are used up. This seems to be a racket for new military families.

Was great until….
I loved this app UNTIL they changed how long the tokens were good for. Why on earth would they think it’s ok to take away tokens someone paid for if they aren’t all used in a year from purchasing them? My son joined in 2019 and I bought a lot of tokens but we still had like 20 something left when his friend joined but when he signed in to send him a letter it said they were expired and he wrote them to ask about it. Apparently they had changed the policy, WITHOUT SENDING ANY TYPE OF NOTIFICATION TO ANY USERS, to where any tokens not used were to expire. What about those of us who have friends and family who are joining the military but they’re still in high school and it’ll be a yr or so before they’re even sent to boot camp????
If you don’t plan on buying a lot of tokens then this is probably a good thing for you but if you plan on buying a lot expecting to be able to use them later down the line with friends or family that join years later or a year from when your last family member or friend joined then stay away from this app because they will expire and they will take them away and expect you to pay for more when you still had plenty leftover. Its just ridiculous that they want to have tokens expire that we paid good money for and think it’s OK to take them away.

Amazing
I love Sandboxx. My marine recruit child is in San Diego at boot camp. It was a surprise to me and I cried and cried. He couldn’t tell me anything because he is 18 and didn’t ask! The marine recruiter told me to use Sandboxx so I signed up for deluxe package. Your mail usually gets there the next day. I just purchased my 15yr old the deluxe package.
The most important reason I love Sandbox is mentally and emotionally. The first 2 letters to me were devastating. I emailed Sandboxx what had happened. They immediately sent me an email that this was not uncommon and she shared her story. If I need anything at all I email them. I wasn’t sure what I could send, they told me. I freaked out because I thought I put my child’s name on the envelope and I didn’t want to get him in trouble. Sandboxx told me correct way! Also, Sandboxx has a weekly news section and it is like a count down. My child had 9 weeks to go and it tells what your recruit is working on that week! I love Sandboxx and they are honestly my lifeline to my child and I know I can ask anything and they will be there for me. If anything else sign up for the app just for all the support they give you!

About tired of this
I’ve had to delete and re-download this all three times because it keeps logging me out. My girlfriend is currently in MCBT and I had originally gotten this because it’s the fastest way I can get a letter to her. Last night I just bough 5 token and i tried to write and send her a letter but the app would not let me. Kept saying ‘failure: no internet connection’ while i had full bars of wifi. But when i switched over to use my data nothing would even happen. I kept hitting the ‘Send Letter’ button and it would not respond. I try again this morning and i am logged out of the app. I try to sign back in but i can’t due to ‘No Internet Connection’. Last time this happened i had to make a whole new account. That’s 21 dollars just down the drain. Oh and the weekly update is incredibly buggy. The first time around, i got an update for week one and nothing else even though several weeks had passed. When i re-downloaded it, I could see multiple weeks worth of updates, but only the corner of the actual update. I couldn’t read anything on it. This service is such a waste of money. If i am paying this much money to send letters to my baby then at the very least the app could have the decency to not crash every couple of weeks.
