Can’t wait for everyone to jump on this idea and some company will be well confused.. “Why’s Ellis Platten ordering pure shirts for random addresses up and down the country” 😂
It was good of you to make a point of this I feel that most influencers would just be happy that they're getting the better deal and continue promoting as if the shirts they'd be getting are just normal
The best part of the mystery box is the surprise element, it's like a FUT pack but something worthwhile. It's also perfect for beginners that have never owned any shirts other than the clubs they support. We got a couple shirts for a video and since then started trawling through shirts we want to add to our collections
You're bang on....every 50th person or something will get an amazing, over the value shirt, the rest will be the same/most likely below what you pay. Great video...more of the same
👏👏👏AMAZING video, very interesting most of the "Mystery boxes" sellers send "shirts from bargain section" and maybe (once in a time) some cool shirts. In my sincere opinion just buy the shirt that you like. Good job Ellis, best regards from Spain.
I bought a secret shirt co one and I completely get the point of losing your money on it but I got a shirt from a Swiss second division team I’d never heard of which I really liked and would never get otherwise so personally I think that mystery aspect makes up for the loss of money
Ethiopa shirt was about £25 on Vfs not so long back, picked one up myself haha. Definitely proving the point that mystery boxes are a bit of a rip off. Top man.
@@asialiverpool2299 Completely agree and that is what some people will be after, but finding out which companies arent just putting £10 m&m or cfs shirts in is definitely needed.
This might just be me, but I do enjoy the mystery aspect of it more than simply buying a shirt. My one time of using one of these so far, has been this Christmas for my brother. The box came in good time, and I haven’t opened it yet, and the fact that I have no idea until he opens it is quite exciting. I mean if it was a Celtic shirt, I’d be laughing right up until Christmas next year because he hates them. When you look at what prices new kits are, these are still a good alternative if you’re looking to surprise someone. And although it might have been cost you the biggest loss, that Sevilla shirt is by far and away the best looking one there
This channel is getting so good now!! This type of video is actually really great tbh. I'd love to see more informational videos where you talk about the different sites and other stuff!
Currently awaiting my first mystery box from secret shirt co and this pops up in recommended lol I completely get your point in terms of value, but as you said yourself they're not gonna send shirts they make a loss on, it's a business. The main point of mystery shirts is the surprise and randomness of it. Yes you could just go buy your own shirt that's better value, but those type of customers aren't the target demographic of these companies. If that's your priority then you shouldn't get a mystery box I'm expecting to get a shirt that costs less than what I paid, but it's the intrigue that I don't know what I'm getting which makes it a fun purchase for me personally. You need to decide which you want more, the fun or the value
Thank you for making this video. This is a nice little slice of mystery boxes and a good way to understand how these services work. I'll be checking out your site for shirts, and I'll consider buying from these companies based on your valuable input. Cheers m8!
Love Stone Roses! A couple of quick questions. Do you recycle all the packaging and is that the England 1990 shirt that was in New Order's World in Motion video?
I think your videos are really good but I think this one is really negative towards people just trying to run a business, I doubt big sites like classic football shirts etc sell shirts for the same price as they source them for. Mystery boxes never have a guarantee of a great shirt but that doesn’t take the fun away from them in my opinion.
Mystique Jerseys are the best simply for the fact you are not guaranteed a good club and also the shirts are most times sold to you cheaper than they are bought
I don´t feel like you get the point of buying mystery items. It´s not about getting value it´s about the experience. And they have to make money somehow so most will get a cheap shirt while some do get nice ones.
Awesome insight - thanks for that. And really good work to clarify about sample size and the variables - I salute the rigour! Personally I like shirts more than surprises but whatever floats boats 😁
Ellis you very much one of the top channels for opening any kind of mystery boxes. It is also great that you are specifically asking people not to trol ass we are in the age of the troll. I hope to get a slot in your next mystery box extravaganza! carry on doing the good work.
Great concept for a video Ellis! Real eye-opener into these companies although, of course, they're never going to look to make a loss on anything other than sending stuff to influencers... they are a business after all. I should hope people realise this when they part with their hard-earned cash.
Very fair and honest vlog think you need to ramp the forfeits up just for the crack like wear full kit boots shin pads no tracksuits or coats of the next games nearest rivals
I couldn't help but notice your Gothia Cup lanyard and it's nice to see someone who played in the same tournament as I did. Keep up the videos great stuff
If I were to use mystery boxes I’d hope to get a jersey of a team I’ve never even heard of. I don’t get why you would be disappointed if it wasn’t a top team shirt.
I saw your dispute over this on instagram with a fairly well known shirt seller where he said you were basically scamming people with mystery boxes. I wouldn’t take on anything he says he seems to be quite bitter over anyone doing better than him. He does it with the main guy from cfs he makes spoofs of all cfs videos on insta. Keep doing what you’re doing pal👍🏻
Class video Ellis! I'm interested in another "Watchdog" mystery box scammer video! Also I might be more excited to join in the next community shirt box than for Christmas 🤣
How is that getting ripped off? I mean, you pay for a shirt you would never go out and buy yourself. If you wanted a big team shirt, just buy that instead of a mystery box.
even if the shirts value is 10 quid less than you payed its a mystery so its alright if its more expensive. if you wanted a specififc shirt youd buy it
Was curious to see if they’re send better ones due to your platform, great idea with the fake name David 😉 personally I think spending time attempting to get good bargains on eBay, deals on websites is a more better option although I suppose you pay for anticipation more than the shirt itself. None the less good video mate 👍
Tbh thats exactly it, its the excitement that you pay for and potentially getting a shirt you never would have thought to buy When I ordered from MFJ I got a sick spartak Moscow shirt from last year 😅
I ordered off Mystique Jerseys after seeing an influencer getting a great shirt (didn’t think). I got a shirt and when searching it online I found it on M&M direct for £13.99. After mentioning it to customer services I was lied to being told they cannot buy from M&M as they are a registered company. Will 100% not use a mystery shirt company again
@@darraghmcdonald6965 it arrived today. I received a ‘Cimarrones FC’ home 17/18 shirt from Mexico which I actually like now seeing it. Goes for £30/35 at quick glance online so turns out it was a good purchase as I wanted a team I have never heard of. I’d happily use mystique again, very nice shirt!
I’ve used Mystery jerseys a couple of times now my 1st purchase got me a AC Milan shirt from about 3/4 years ago worth £20-25. My second was this seasons Lyon away shirt which I was very impressed with.
I’ve bought a few of these boxes and, fun as they are, you tend to be a little disappointed. Most club websites tend to knock at least 30% off their current season shirts by November/December time so grab one then

TBH, these weren't too bad. Decent value. Most of the money lost was because of shipping, so bulk buying ftw!
