Understanding 'Letter On Hold' in Sandboxx

When using Sandboxx to send letters, you may encounter the status 'On Hold' for a letter in your account. This guide provides a detailed explanation of this status, its implications, and the options available for managing letters that are on hold.

What Does 'On Hold' Mean?

When a letter is marked as "On Hold," it indicates that Sandboxx has paused its processing. This is typically done until further confirmation or instructions are received from the user. For example, you may need to confirm whether this is the letter you intended to stop or modify before it gets printed.

Is There a Time Limit for 'On Hold' Letters?

There is no time limit for how long a letter can remain on hold. Once placed on hold, it will stay in that status indefinitely or until actions are taken to update or send the letter.

Can I Archive a Held Letter and Get a Refund?

Yes, letters that are on hold can be archived. When you choose to archive a letter, the credit used for that letter can be refunded to your account so that it can be used for other letters.

What Happens if I Need to Correct the Address?

If your letter is on hold due to an address issue, you can correct the address without incurring additional charges. The letter will use your available free letter credit to process after the correction. If you plan to send additional letters, the app will also provide you with options to purchase new letter bundles as needed.


By understanding the 'On Hold' status and the available options, you can efficiently manage your communications within the Sandboxx app. Whether you choose to correct the letter, archive it for future credit, or confirm next steps, Sandboxx provides the tools for seamless adjustments to your letter activity.
