I’m just a plain old subscriber to matter box like yourself. I’m not associated with the matter box team or Royal Mail so I don’t know what they’re planning this time, although the http://www.matterbox.co.uk/ site says they’re planning to deliver on a Saturday, which would be the same as the first box.
The first box they sent was designed to fit through a letter box, but oddly enough, required someone to sign for it, so it never actually got posted. If I recall correctly, there were a few people at the time who weren’t home to receive the delivery, and they got a card through the door telling them where to collect it – the same as any other recorded Royal Mail delivery when there’s no one home.
Hope that helps!

I liked the surprise element too, I’d speculate the extent of it’s inclusion next time around will depend on the reach they’re after – the bigger, more mainstream the audience, the less likely it is to be so secretive, but I hope they do retain it.
I dread to think what kind of psychological profiling could be done based on which items we each selected as favourites!

I imagine Tim will extend the concept over time in the ways you suggest (FB etc). I quite liked the low-key / surprise element this time around, but I guess that isn’t likely to last.
Interesting that the objects appealed to different people – I wasn’t that taken with the badge or the music monster.
