Your video will be sent to your email even within 2 hours after placing the order, depending on the selected delivery option. This applies to online payments. In the case of traditional bank transfers, the time might be extended to 7 working days.

a) Check the provided email address – the order confirmation allows you to see the delivery details you entered
b) Is your email correct? ­Look up “video from Santa” in your inbox; some post domains transfer our messages directly to the spam or advertising folders
c) If you still cannot see our video message, let us know - send an email to [email protected]

b) Your payment was declined. Please check your payment status in your account.
c) Missing data – if there are missing fields in the information you entered, we might not be able to send your letter. We’ll do our best to contact you by email or phone if that’s the case.
d) The Polish post office let us down – Get in touch and we’ll be sure to send the letter again at no additional cost
