Just received an email from the Curator that the seventh mailing (at least at my level) has shipped.
It is being sent by standard mail with no tracking, which means it is not the crate nor anything of great value.

At this point I suspect that our most venerable Curator is deliberately trying to confuse us! I shall try and resist the temptation to speculate on the place the mailing holds in the story this time. I hope it arrives soon! Except for the fourth mailing the letters were delivered directly so far; the fourth had to go through customs and was held up a bit.
On the other hand, I will probably not be able to visit my brother before next weekend anyway...

It's worth noting that when I received my inner circle membership kit earlier this year, it was sent standard mail with no tracking. I've gotten the impression that the MPC sends everything standard mail these days, even if it is a crate.

I'd still bet that the "bonus chapter," whatever that turns out to be (or have been), will come before the crate, so I'm not expecting the crate yet.

Certainly. If the number of mailings was still correct, I maintain that the next mailing should be the crate, with the Reveal and Epilogue following. I had however expected the "more ornate artifact" before that.

My Inner Circle Kit was sent January 12 to the US with tracking.
I have a total of 10 mailings listed for my Diamond Bespoke level, so there are three more. (No.7 has not arrived yet, but it was sent standard mail and is therefore unlikely to be a crate.) The newspaper epilogue is one; the reveal is another; that leaves the crate as the third, which means it must be next (and is Chapter 5).
That also means that I have already received the "more ornate artifact," and it can only be the amulet with the Runic symbol on it (Chapter 3) because a flash drive would not be described as "ornate." Thus it appears there will be only one crate with this experience, not two.

Thus it appears there will be only one crate with this experience, not two. I used to think there were two crates - a smaller and a larger one - included in the Diamond level Experiences, but the description actually stated that the "more ornate" artifact would be shipped in a crate only as part of the Bronze Experience. Yet I thought the amulet best fit the description of Chapter 2 - a small artifact alongside a number of paper items. Best to wait and see, I suppose. There should also be another online puzzle coming up as well. I must admit that we did not get anywhere meaningful with the last one yet.

I'm not sure why they use tracking for some crates shipped to the US and not for others, but they're certainly not consistent. We'll wait and see.

I am happy to report that the mailing already arrived at my brother's, so it likely did not go to customs for closer inspection. It is
killing me that he sent me a picture of the envelope and then went for a shower,a smoke and coffee. The suspense is unbearable!

As for the type of items in this mailing: The envelope contained only paper items. My brother was kind enough to provide me with photographs of the items. To get the ball rolling, I believe that two earlier theories of ours were in fact correct. At this point I feel we can safely assume that the person responsible for the mailings is indeed Sarah, the daughter of Jake of the illegal cod trawler Jonas Ramos; part of her letter seems to allude directly to the death or disappearance of her father. Secondly, the amulet we received was indeed intended as a protective talisman. I do like how the story starts coming together. When all is said and done, it will be a delight to put everything on the table at once and see the whole picture.

So I suppose this would be the KS bonus chapter, probably?

So I suppose this would be the KS bonus chapter, probably? I would believe this to be Chapter four. It seems far too integral to the story, and it makes sense for the penultimate Chapter to be mailed right before the crate.

Hmm... I only have 2 of 7 remaining shipments left on the Black Friday CB. I was expecting them to be Crate, and reveal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hopefully it will all make sense in the end. the Gallant

In an email exchange with the Curator, I believe he accidentally confirmed one theory! He listed the current mailings, of which were up to the USB, and stated the letter within was "Sarah's Letter" So exciting! This mailing I believe does confirm that the person sending this to us is the daughter of the guy from the wrecked ship, making much more sense as she tries to piece together what happened to him.
