The person I sent a letter to never responded. Do the soldiers have to pay for Sandbox also? 12letters sent by me cost 62 dollars and change. That seems a little pricey??
My Son sent a letter which states picked up / Carol Stream, IL on September 24th and I have not received it yet. No updates whatsoever. I guess I can assume it’s lost.😞
Did you ever received you letter ? I am having the same problem .
why are replied letters a week late ?? is this happening to anybody else ?
I wrote a letter on September 29, 2022. I just received it back as undeliverable! I am extremely unhappy. It’s not so much the money it costs, it’s more the fact that she never received it. I don’t like digital anything. It just proves to me that it works better to just write it yourself and mail it. Especially, after writing the entire letter and then seeing it would cost $4.56 to send.
I know this isn’t relevant butFor some reason the address that you have on sandbox isn’t his address I have received all the letters that we have sent him through sandbox return to sender how do I get this fixed. I will not be using this app anymore until it’s fixed.
You can edit the existing address to match the correct one or create a new contact all together. I kind of had the same problem

Are the dates correct for the Air Force? If I mail it by 5pm on September 4, will it arrive same day?
