Maillers’ Choice kits – a huge success!

Posted by | One Comment | Read More / Add Comment



We just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge what a crazy success our first Maillers’ Choice kit turned out to be!  Trust us when we say that we were as surprised as many of your were when we saw that within hours of releasing the first round, they were sold out (not to mention that the second round literally sold out in minutes!)  We heard from many of you who missed buying the kits by a (flat) nose (plier) and we want you to know, we hear you.



As we continue to develop this brand new promotion, we will do our best to allow as many people to participate in the fun as we can.  One way we will do this is by varying the release times (because we have customers in all 50 states and 40 countries, we’ll never be able to find the a perfect time for everyone, but we’ll do our best to make it work!)  We will also increase the limited number of available kits over time to match interest as much as we can.

Thanks to everyone who was part of this very fun promotion, from the voting to the crazy fast scooping up.  Stay tuned to our blog to find out what the next Maillers’ Choice kit will be and make sure to like our page on Facebook and join our mailing list to stay as up to date as possible with the release of this promo and others!
