Cryptid Crate may come in a box or a padded envelope depending on the nature of the contents for that specific month.
We believe most people purchase Cryptid Crate to get a delivery of awesome cryptid stuff. We used to ship every order in a box, but have learned that using padded envelopes will sometimes provide better protection and will usually reduce our shipping and packaging costs so we can put more of our budget towards the contents of the crate.
