Sending letters from an African American Santa Claus to children is a hot topic during the Christmas holidays. If you google “Letters from Santa Claus” you will find more than 100,000 sites. With so many sites, it can be confusing to find the right website to purchase this special gift. Requesting and entering information online is a time consuming task. It’s important to find a site that makes it easy. When you visit a site that sells Santa letters, look for the following features.

money back guarantee

A 100% “no questions asked” money back guarantee is the norm. Make sure that the quality of the letter, the service and the delivery are satisfactory. Warranty should be 30-60 days after purchase.

variety of letters

Parents with many children need letters that reflect different ages, ethnic groups, and reading levels. There should be letters for young, beginning, and advanced readers. Also, it is very special when children can compare their different letters.

Fields for Personalization

Each letter must offer 3 or more fields to enter information about your child. The more fields the letter contains, the more personalized you can make it. Look for letters containing the child’s name, city, gender, wish lists, and achievements.

quality paper

Do you use high quality paper? Good-quality paper feels good in the hand, has a special look, is easily framed, and is durable. Also make sure the site sends the letters in large, flat envelopes.

secure order

Check for verbiage on the site that explains the safe order safe. You must also accept various credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, and personal checks or money orders. For those who don’t like using credit cards online, check out the mail order options.

easy order

Do you offer different packages to make ordering easier? Sorting by packs makes it easy to customize many cards. Card packs eliminate the need to reorder each extra card. Look for sites that allow you to make 1 payment for 2 or more cards.

Shipping confirmation

Do you offer confirmation of the letters when you send the letters? This is a great service because you can tell the kids to look for something special in the mail during the week.

Appropriate cut-off dates

Is the cut-off date specified? Make sure the deadline seems reasonable. Letters have to go through personalization, postage stamping, and sorting. The last date a service can stop taking orders for processing is around the week before Christmas, around December 17. For additional costs, some sites offer overnight delivery or 3-day shipping.

If you can find a site that offers all of the above benefits, sending special letters from Santa will be a fun and exciting time for both the sender and receiver.
