For a restricted time in November 2022, Netflix had a number of Mystery Bundles on the market. The premise of the bins is that should you paid $50, you’d be assured $100 in worth of Netflix goodies when the field lands at your door.
On November twentieth, we ordered a $50 field, a $100 field, and the massive $250 field. That promised us $820 in worth when all was mentioned and finished. Quids in!

Weeks glided by, and most significantly, the festive interval glided by, and the bins nonetheless had not shipped. Netflix Shop assist responded to a assist ticket that “there is a delay in getting these items to our fulfillment center.”
Weeks later, Netflix refunded the smallest field, with assist telling me it was “due to shipping hazard.”

The Mystery Box Journey
After that cumbersome wait, the 2 remaining thriller bins lastly shipped on January seventeenth, and what a visit it went on to get to my door right here in Norfolk within the United Kingdom.
The field began on the Cincinnati Hub in Ohio within the United States of America (presumably, that is the place Netflix’s warehouse is for its merchandise). It was then moved West into Ontario, Canada, the place it was processed once more.
Following its temporary cease in Ontario, CA, the field was moved to Los Angeles, California, to start its worldwide journey. From there, it took an in a single day flight to Leipzig in Germany.
Then it was lastly sure for the UK, flying into the East Midlands hub the place it was then pushed right down to the Cambridge depot after which, on January twenty third, arrived at my door.
Using MapDevelopers, we calculated distance this field traveled over the course of six days was round 8453 miles, not together with the space from Netflix’s warehouse to the primary hub.
That’s fairly a carbon footprint for some Netflix merch!
What’s within the Netflix Mystery Box?
With the field now at my door, what did we get, and extra importantly, was it well worth the cash? The bundle worth of the bins was purported to be $720 so did we get that a lot?

In conclusion? Was the haul price it?
Given the time of ready, the ridiculous distance the field needed to be shipped to me, and some gadgets (placing this delicately) not being my cup of tea, I’d be hard-pressed to say I’ll ever repurchase a Mystery Box once more.
