I bought the $99 mystery box and received roughly $100 in whiskey, all of it standard grocery-store bottles. The math technically checks out, but a mystery box implies two things: some element of surprise, and a modest discount for taking on the risk. This delivered neither. The "up to $999" claim may be accurate, but in practice it functions more like a lottery ticket than a curated selection. If you're hoping for something you couldn't just pick up at the supermarket, temper your expectations.

Hi Bill, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Mystery Box didn’t meet your expectations. Our $99 Mystery Box is designed so that every customer receives at minimum the full retail value of what they paid, while also having a chance to receive bottles valued significantly higher as many have before you. Because the contents are completely randomized, some boxes will contain more readily available bottles while others will include rarer or higher-value selections. We completely understand that you were hoping for something more unique or harder to find. However, we are transparent that the Mystery Box is intended to provide the excitement of not knowing what you’ll receive, rather than guaranteeing a discount or a rare bottle in every box. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue improving the Mystery Box experience and how we communicate what customers can expect.
