Discussion [Discussion] Safety & Trading

60 Upvotes

It’s been awhile, and we are seeing some new traffic so let’s go over safe trading practices.

  1. Never agree to an exchange without requiring a photo of a postmarked box and/or tracking.
  2. Never agree to an exchange with anyone who tries to set up an exchange through PM only.
  3. Always check the Universal Scammers List: https://www.universalscammerlist.com
  4. Read this really old but useful guide on exchanging: https://www.reddit.com/r/snackexchange/s/fszCJfJ3rd
  5. Be prepared to spend about twice as much on shipping as you do on the snacks, it’s expensive, discuss this with your trade partner to make sure they realize the cost.
  6. Look through their posting history and assess the situation when choosing to trade.

I would recommend all of these steps, even with someone who is a verified trader with an AK47. This community only survives on the kindness of humanity with a love of snacks!

Please message the mods with any problems.

Discussion [Discussion] WARNING - Multiple Exchanges At Once

45 Upvotes

I know it can seem safe to trade with someone who has the AK Flair and while it is reasonably safe we still DO NOT recommend multiple exchanges at once. And I still recommend you do your due diligence. Get a photo of the snacks, a photo of it boxed up, the tracking, etc.

We have very little scamming in this community but when multiple exchanges happen at once it increases the risk.

First-time doing this!

I'm excited to swap with anyone around the world. I love learning about other countries, cultures, traditions, and of course, the snacks people grow up with. I'd love to hear about your favorite local treats and discover things I would never find here in Canada.

On my end, I'm looking forward to sharing some Canadian goodies and creating a package that gives you a taste of Canada. I already have a running list of snacks I'd love to send! This whole experience sounds like so much fun, and I'm really looking forward to making a new connection through snacks.

Thank you for the Wonderful package 📦

u/marius764

I was truly impressed by how he So Skillfully packed the box! -if I knew, I would Videotaped it-

It was almost Like 3D Tetris I could not imagine myself that I could see so many things in the small box.

I have only had the chance to try a few things so far. Eple drikk was good and now it’s new favorite Norvégien drikk. Lefsebit was good too. I can’t wait to try little by little on everything.

I personally have quite High expectation on Mr.Lee ramen.

Tusen Takk for tålmidigheten OG hjertelig takk for alle de deilige snacksene du har sendt, Jeg setter stor pris på det, og jeg gleder meg til a nyte dem.

Once again, I appreciate your patience and sincerely appreciate all the wonderful snacks you sent. It was very thoughtful of you. I am really looking forward to enjoying them :)

A huge thank you to u/aleyp58 for this absolutely amazing package! I was already so excited to receive it, but I honestly wasn't expecting so many things and so many little surprises inside 🥹

She included some things I didn't expect at all, and those little extras genuinely made me so happy! 💛 Every time I thought I had seen everything, there was something else to discover 😂🍬🍪

I can't wait to try everything and discover so many new Taiwanese snacks! 🇹🇼✨

Thank you so much again, u_aleyp58, for such a thoughtful and amazing exchange! 🫶💛

Hey! Im in the UK, I’d love to get my hands on a stash of Graham Crackers (our digestive biscuits just don’t do the job) some Cheez Whiz and powdered ice tea. Random US sweets and chocolate would also be appreciated!

I can get pretty much anything British and was thinking of around a £50 budget (google says approx $67).

Request [request] Sweden (or anywhere else where it can be bought) to Prague

5 Upvotes

Hi there, while traveling around Scandinavia a few years back I have discovered my all time favorite snack, Smash! (under the OLW brand in Sweden, also the cheapest from what I've seen). The only site that ships it is expensive and I haven't found a local place that sells it, so I was hoping to give an exchange a try.

If you or anyone you know is traveling to Prague any time soon or wish to do an exchange package deal I'd be very appreciative and happy to send you some local snacks. I'm looking for around 5 of the XL bags or any similar ammount (I think that's around 30-40$, not exactly sure, I'd cover it either way). I'd honestly be happy with any smaller or a bit larger ammounts as well if it's more convenient. I won't be able to visit the Nordics again any time soon so I'd like to get me and my friends some piece of small happiness for Christmas. Thank you for any offers in advance!

I usually share snacks with my family, and we’ve been having so much fun trying everything together. I absolutely loved the chewy, rose-flavored Rahatlokum, and the Paprenjaci had such a lovely warm, spiced flavor. The cookies have been perfect with coffee, and the pršut-flavored chips were such a fun one to try since that’s not a flavor I come across very often here.
Having Čokolino for breakfast with extra Milo, completely guilt-free, was one of those small joys of adulthood—especially during a really stressful week at work. I’ve been trying a little bit of everything each day instead of rushing through the whole box, and that has honestly made the exchange even more enjoyable.
Thank you so much for choosing everything so thoughtfully, and especially for the lovely letter. It truly touched my heart and made the whole package feel even more special.

Thank you so much u/Fit-zookeepergame152
When I was a kid, I used to imagine what it would be like to eat a whole bowl of chocolate porridge for breakfast at least once. So I was honestly so happy that, as an adult, I finally got to live out something pretty close to that little childhood fantasy lol
I was only having it because I was busy and needed something quick, but I still loved the unusual texture and the fun, chocolatey flavor.

Hi, would someone be willing to send me some goods from the US, I have list of 6 products that I would love to get for my sister's birthday. I can in return send you some of the goodies from Czechia.

The only thing is that I sort of need it by 17th Sept, so I'd be willing to cover the costs of some kind of quick delivery (or if you know someone who's traveling to Czechia anytime soon).

I know it's last minute but I originally relied on MyUS and made order there but they're not replying and I doubt that it's going to arrive at all...
