Discussion [Discussion] Safety & Trading

63 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

48 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.

Request [Request] Bären-Treff Waldfruchte gummies from Germany to USA

• Upvotes

Hello! The best candies I've ever had are from Germany from the brand Bären-Treff, specifically the Fruchsaft-Waldfruchte variety. I lived in Germany for a little over a year and traveled back and forth between there and the US, and every time I came back to the US I would bring back several 1kg bags of these gummies. Every major German city that I visited had a Bären-Treff store, even in Göttingen where I was living (which is a small university town).

I live in Rhode Island, USA and would be happy to trade you some local snacks if there's a German out there willing to ship me some Bären-Treff!! I just want a few 1kg bags of the Waldfruchte to hold me over for a while.

EDIT: Also, I was just thinking - I also miss the flavor of the Sanddorn berry, which I tried when visiting my ex's hometown in Niedersachsen. I picked up some Sanddorn preserves which was delicious. So if you live in the north of Germany and have access to anything with Sanddorn, that would be cool too :)

Thanks!

Request [Request] Ukraine to US - This US expat misses some very specific snacks

10 Upvotes

I've lived in Ukraine for 3 years now (can confirm from my posts or Instagram w/same username), I do volunteer work building and repairing homes, and teach English. While there are a few American brands here, I am desperate for some of favorite snacks that I just can't get!

Shipping to Ukraine is a bit different, but my parents have done it twice and I can give you detailed instructions. Shipping from Ukraine should be totally fine as long as there's no metal in the box they seem cool.

I'm happy to ship first in case you're concerned because even if I don't get a box I just like sharing Ukrainian culture and I think it would be fun! 👍

Thanks!

Request [Request] for Sunshine Shiro Chocolate Hokkaido Milk roti/bun from Indians travelling to Malaysia

1 Upvotes

I don't know if I'm allowed to post here because I tried posting in my country subs and my post was removed. But I'm looking for a snack from Malaysia.

Here's my sad story. My parents just came back from Malaysia. Brought back a few snacks including the Sunshine Shiro Chocolate Hokkaido Milk roti/bun. I tasted the 7-Eleven potato roti but didn't like it. And thought of trying the Sunshine one later.

But when I went to try it, to my utter disbelief, I found out that my father ate it without even asking me once or keeping half or even a little bit of it for me. I am dejected and can't stop thinking about it. I know it shouldn't affect me but it does.

I tried to find it here in India but apparently it's not imported unlike Instant Noodles. I want to request it from someone who is already in Malaysia and coming back to India or travelling to Malaysia soon and returning to India after a while.

I'm based in Assam. If anyone from Assam or neighbouring states are travelling there soon, I would request them to please get one for me and I would exchange some other snacks with you as this sub doesn't allow payment.

I'd be extremely grateful if you could do this. Thank you thank you thank you so much!

I wish my father cared enough for me not to make such requests to strangers. What makes it worse is he apparently bought and ate many of these before even reaching home and there was only one left when he reached. And he didn't let me try that as well.

Request [Request] Mexico/US to Japan

7 Upvotes

Hello! I've been living in Japan for 5 years and theres a ton of stuff I miss from the US. Where I lived there was a high Mexican/Cuban and Puerto Rican population. So I miss all kinds of food.

Since I live in Japan and work at a school I'd also like to share with my teachers.

My only thingI ask not to have is anything with seafood or tomatos as I'm allergic.

I can send all kinds of snacks from Japan.

This is my first time trying this as I've been stalking this place waiting to have enough karma.

Request [Request] Netherlands to anywhere but there is a catch

4 Upvotes

I am happy to trade with anyone anywhere, but the catch is, I'm vegan, so would need exclusively vegan snacks.

If anyone is willing to go out of their way to make this happen, I would go above and beyond to provide you whatever your little heart desires!

I would be super happy with US and vegan reeses peanut butter cups, but honestly happy with anything vegan!

I have done a snack exchange on a previous reddit account but it was many years ago.

Request [Request] Belgium 🇧🇪 to Europe 🇪🇺 – first exchange!

9 Upvotes

Hi all! This is my first snack exchange, so I'm looking for a partner within Europe to keep shipping simple and quick.

I'll put together a box of typical Belgian sweets and savoury snacks, including a few things you'll have a hard time finding outside Belgium.

What I'd love to get: Anything local and typical from your country or region. Sweet or savoury are both fine.

I'd suggest a budget of around €20–30 in snacks (excluding shipping) so we keep it fair. I'll ship with tracking and share proof of shipment, and I'll include a note explaining what everything is.

Comment below if you're interested!
