Mystery Boxes in Vienna: Discover lost treasures in Lugner City!

Mystery Boxes in Vienna: Discover lost treasures in Lugner City!

There is currently a special market in Vienna that primarily attracts adventurers and bargain hunters: King Colis, a French start-up, has opened its pop-up stores and offers “lost packages” that can be discovered in the city. The sale has been running in Lugner City since September 8th and has already caused a lot of excitement. Until September 13th, interested buyers can choose from over ten tons of undeliverable packages - and at extremely fair prices.

The standard packages cost 1.99 euros per 100 grams, while the premium boxes are available for 2.79 euros per 100 grams. The contents of the packages remain a secret until after purchase. For some, that's exactly what makes it so appealing: every time you open a package, it's described as an adventure of its own. However, buyers should know that returns or exchanges are not possible, so you should consider this carefully before purchasing.

Customer experiences and exciting finds

If the prospect of yet unknown treasures isn't enough for you, King Colis' track record from last year might appeal. Over 10,000 curious people flocked to the stores and bought around 30,000 packages. A “Krone” reporter, for example, experienced a small miracle: for just 1.95 euros, he found a smart ring worth 90 euros in his box. And reports of valuable content such as drones, cell phones, a second-hand Rolex and even a gold bar are also making the rounds. So it's quite possible to find a small fortune when you buy one.

But not everything that glitters is gold. Some shoppers also reported less pleasant finds, such as mismatched clothing or other disappointing contents. However, the prevailing opinion could be seen as positive - the thrill of opening the mystery boxes is the main focus. King Colis not only serves bargain hunters, but also those who want to take part in the mystery box trend, which is currently particularly popular on platforms such as TikTok and YouTube.

Sustainability and the trends of mystery boxes

Another important aspect of King Colis' business model is sustainability. The packages that would normally be destroyed as returns are given a second chance through resale, thereby helping to reduce waste. Over 500 million returns are made in Germany every year, only a small proportion of which are resold. Purchasing from King Colis is therefore also a contribution to environmentally conscious use of consumer goods.

However, if you have a taste for them and want to try out the packaged surprises, you should also be careful of potential traps. Despite the exciting buying experience, not every provider is reputable. Before ordering from unknown shops, it is advisable to check the reliability via platforms such as fakeshopfinder.de. And online buyers have a 14-day right of withdrawal, whereas this can hardly be used in stores or at vending machines.

The time until September 13th is perfect to bring a bit of adventure into everyday life and perhaps discover a surprise or two. Maybe you will find the next “must-have” or a very personal treasure in one of the packages!
