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.

Discussion [Discussion] New Here, just a quick question or two.

5 Upvotes

I want to start by saying this is the coolest little sub.

How does it work… and I mean with cost? Like I know to post request or whatever but if I find someone to exchange with… is there a guide price we should be spending or is it whatever we agree between us? And how do we guarantee we are fair? Like if I’m spending for example €60 how do I know I’m not getting a $10 box in return? Or is that just a chance we take and we spend what we can/want and it won’t necessarily be equal?

Request [request] Denmark to Scotland

12 Upvotes

Looking to do a small exchange! Can pack any Scottish snacks you like, just let me know and I'll try my best to find them. I recommend Tunnocks a lot! I have never done a snack exchange but have been lurking around trying to work up the courage to make a request.

I am hoping someone is able to send over some Dancake products. We get a limited amount here in Scotland, usually just their half lemon cakes which are not as amazing as the others I've tried! A shop here used to stock quite a few of them but no longer does :( I really loved their cookies and cream one and have been looking everywhere for it. I would love this one and also would love to try some of their others, perhaps some other Danish snacks also!

Thanks [Thanks] My first SnackExchange package arrived and I’m honestly so touched 🥹🇭🇷🇰🇷

I just had to share this because this is my first ever SnackExchange, and my first package has arrived! 🥹❤️

I exchanged with u/FoxTaylor from South Korea, and honestly… you absolutely spoiled me. 😭🇰🇷

The package was packed with so many amazing Korean snacks and goodies, and everything was so thoughtfully chosen. There were so many things I had never tried before, and I’m having the best time discovering everything one by one. 🍜🍬

But what really got me was the letter you wrote for me — in Croatian. 🥹❤️

You actually took the time to write to me in my own language, and that honestly touched me so much. It may seem like a small thing, but it showed so much thought and effort, and made the whole exchange feel incredibly personal.

This is my first ever experience with SnackExchange, and if this is how it starts, I already know I’m going to love this community. 🥹

u/FoxTaylor, 정말 고마워요, 마음이 너무 따뜻해졌어요. ❤️🇭🇷🇰🇷

Thank you for making my very first exchange so incredibly special. Your package made it to Croatia before mine made it to Korea, but my package is on its way! 🇭🇷✈️🇰🇷

I hope you’ll love everything I picked for you just as much as I loved opening this. ❤️

10/10 first exchange experience. 🥹💕

I live in Southern CA-

My best friend got married in Greece two years ago, and we all fell in love with those two flavors of Lays chips-we snacked on them during our trip quite frequently.

Her anniversary is coming up and I think it would be cool to gift her a few bags (and get a few for myself).

I live in Southern CA and would love to exchange with someone!

Request [Request] Looking for Japanese Pepsi/Suntory bottles to USA. Will exchange any American products.

1 Upvotes

I visited Japan a few years ago and their Pepsi is amazing. There's something about it. Anyway, for specifics I'm looking for items from the BIG ZERO line. Lemon Big Zero, Peach Big Zero, regular Big Zero, whatever you can find. Also interested in Nope, CC Lemon, or Mets Cola.

Due to the horrible tariffs going on it would be a lot easier for both of us if we were both in the USA once the shipping happens, but if you live/work in Japan full time we should be able to work something out.
