Questions
Q: According to my receipt/email my purchase is going to wrong child/wrong address. I filled out the address, gift message for one child and it says it is going to my granddaughter. Fix pleaseAsked by Anita L., September 2020
Q: Does the first month still come with the stuffed Sunny and the adventure box? Is it still possible to get two snails?Asked by Tammy G., March 2021
Yes, the box and stuffed animal will start the subscription if you sign up for a 3, 6 or 12 month term. And, we are always happy to add a second Sunny stuffed animal when we see two names on a subscription. :)
Q: Is there a way to get 3 snails? I have 3 toddler boys and they would love getting mail each week from this, but only 1 snail would be very hard for them to share without fighting over it. Asked by Breanna C., February 2021
Sure thing! We can't have anyone fighting over Sunny, lol. It might be a squeeze but we will get 3 stuffed animals in the welcome box. If you want them each to have their own box with separate shipping, then you can go to our Store and order two extra boxes. Either way, we will include 3 of everything in each letter too. Have a great day!
Q: Is there anyway I can get two stuffed snails? My niece and nephew will both need one. Deb RitterAsked by Deb R., December 2020
Hi Deb,
Sure thing - we can't have anyone fighting over Sunny! We will add a second Sunny Plush.

Oh my goodness. Never before has there been a more perfect subscription box for a little kid desperate for mail. My son is the youngest of four (so already has a bit of an excluded complex), and we had to move with the army in the middle of this global pandemic - to a new state and a street with not one single other kid on it. Mail has become our primary connection with the outside world. But when a day passes and there isn’t anything for a five year old (or, even worse, when there IS something for an older sibling), all devastation ensues.
Cue Sunny, the Mail Snail. Not only is he cute, he’s the embodiment of worldly connection for my little isolated kids (and he’s brought to us by our beloved USPS mail lady - who is mom’s only social outlet, the poor dear). Sunny comes with adorable little cards and envelopes (all of which were used almost immediately), and, most importantly, a real, genuine VIP card, allocating membership to the super elite club of Snail Mail Recipients. Nothing in the entire world has ever made my kid feel as special as that VIP card does.
We are so excited for WEEKLY letters from Sunny. Waiting a month between most subscription boxes can feel like an agonizing eternity for little kids (and moms trying to find ways to entertain said kids). The perfect solution is a smaller, but still entertaining and engaging weekly subscription.
There was absolutely...

I ordered this for my daughter because she loves to get the mail. So far she has received the first box and one additional letter. She is super excited to read the letters and look at the surprises. Snail Mail went above and beyond on the first box. They are currently back-ordered on the stuffed animals, but they filled the box with all kinds of other specials treats.

Thank you so much! We hope your daughter is now snuggling with her Sunny plush and enjoying his mail. He loves listening to kids read their letters aloud. :) :) Thanks again!

My daughter(aged 6) was getting really bummed out about never getting anything in the mail. I'm so glad I found this subscription. The first box had the cutest snail stuffy that she adores. What I love is that her Sunny letter shows up every single Monday. It's what motivates her in the morning! The stories are cute and educational. They always include stickers, tattoos, or other little surprises related to the animal of the week. As well as letter cards to figure a secret code for a prize.
We had just resubscribed for another three months because she enjoys it so much and gives her something to look forward to.

We gave this to our 3-1/2 yr old granddaughter last Christmas. She loves it!
I have to explain about the 3 star review for shipping. To be fair it WAS NOT snail mail for kids fault. The USPS mail service had horrible problems and delays last December which resulted in our granddaughter not receiving the box in time to open on Christmas morning. It was disappointing but OK. Wendy actually extended my subscription for free because of the shipping problem; they didn’t have to do that, but it was appreciated greatly!
The idea of this box is brilliant! Kids really do love getting something in the mail! And this box is a great learning activity. The only thing mentioned by the parents is they think she would enjoy it more if she were old enough to read the letters herself. But they are saving everything and said they will give all the boxes to her in a few years when she CAN read. Double win! So age 3 to 4 would probably be the earliest age to send this to. If you are hesitating, just try this box!

My children received their box today and absolutely love it!! It was their very first one and they really enjoyed the stuffed animals as well as the feathers and first introductory letter/stickers. Especially with everything going on in the world, it is really nice for them to have something positive to look forward to in their lives. Additionally, their customer service is outstanding; they are extremely responsive to any inquiries.

My 8yr old daughter has Dyslexia & has struggled to learn to read. Desperately looking for resources & finding nothing tailored for Dyslexia I came across Sunny. The starter box is more than worth it's cost & weekly letters about animals with funny stories, Jokes, & trinkets is spot on for an 8yr old. There's a lot of extras with these letters & she practices reading willingly & all on her own with excitement each week. We are definitely happy & recommend you try Sunny!! UPDATE: Sunny sent my daughter a special gift. It's note cards specially printed with her name on them. Now my kiddo writes what she learned, questions she has, & more on her note cards. This totally expanded the learning value of your already wonderful product even more. WE CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW WORTH IT THIS HAS BEEN!!! I'd subscribe to any box for children curated by the amazing mind behind Sunny the Mail Snail.

So unique! I bought these for my pre-k 3 students because I wanted to teach them about actual mail that is not virtual. We have created a job on our job board dedicated to checking our class mailbox to see what Sunny has delivered. The kids love the adventures that he goes on and anxiously await to see what is next. Since it is geared towards only 1 child and we only receive one of the "special" items with each box (feather, sticker, etc.) we decided to just hang our map up and display it on a our cork board for all to see!
