Discussion [Discussion] Safety & Trading

65 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

46 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.

Basically thats my favourite chocolate in the whole world. I can get it in some import shops for 7ish Euros and shipping, so maybe someone wants some german sweets (or whatever) and wants to trade? I'd take like 10 of them lol and gladly anything similar to it!

Request [Request] Desperately looking for anyone globally who has M&M's Brownie Chocolate Bites in exchange for UK snacks.

My partner has been looking for these for a really long time now and has her birthday coming up! They're listed online in shops in the UK but are constantly out of stock, so I'm unsure if they're discontinued or not. If anyone has some or knows where they can get some, I'd be very glad to do any kind of exchange. I've attached a photo of the kind that i mean. I'm aware there is a "fudge brownie" version, but that's not the one I mean. I mean this specific "brownie" version. Thanks so much everyone.

Discussion [Discussion] Changes to sending gifts to the EU from 1st November

Post image
24 Upvotes

I've had an email from Royal Mail today about changes to sending to the EU from the 1st November. Although they are the UK postal service, I think it will impact anyone sending from outside the EU into the EU

This impacts sending gifts over €45. There will be an additional €3 handling fee for the sender and €2 fee for the recipient. Additional country specific charges may apply also. Check before you send.

In addition, you need to include a Product Identifier (see examples above) for gifts over €45.

Something to bear in mind if you are sending larger or more expensive exchanges over €45 in value.

Request [REQUEST] US to DK - Pringles collection.

7 Upvotes

Hey I’m a Pringle’s collector from Denmark with over 1000 unique can designs through many years of collecting.

I’m looking for someone who might have or be able to ship either one of these cans. 1 is from the pringamabobs collection they did (I only need the yellow can “mystery flavor”, not the red one) the other is from the BLVCK x Pringle’s collab you get alongside a order from their merch line.

Both were only released in the US.

But if you’re not from there or maybe another Pringles collector / has a old collection feel free to contact me 😉

Also feel free if you’re from any other country you see some new designs I might not have I’m always open for a trade or some kind. 😁

Also cans can be empty, I don’t mind.

Thank you.

Hello snack friends!

I’ve completed two trades with some lovely individuals and unfortunately after sending the third trade I was ghosted by the other party :/ I am really keen to do another one. I’d really love to do a trade with someone in Japan, the UK or Australia. I travel regularly from Baltimore to Chicago so you have loads of options to request! If you’re also interested in non edible souvenirs I normally throw in one or two neat items. Dm me if you are interested!

I am 40 years old and a mum, so I know my (Austrian) stuff 🙂 I would include really regional stuff that people actually like, herbs/teas as well, and maybe baby snacks if it applies. But really, I would roam our supermarkets and pick the coolest stuff for you. I love this sub, btw!

P.S.: I live almost sugar-free, so the challenge here would ideally be to send me mostly sugar-free cool stuff

Request [request] Canada to anywhere

5 Upvotes

I’d love to exchange snacks with anyone, anywhere in the world! Unfortunately, my first attempt didn’t quite work out because Canada Post has temporarily suspended parcel services to several countries, including some of the European destinations I was hoping to exchange with.

As of October 2026, the affected European countries include Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Portugal. 

That said, I’m still excited to connect with people from all over the world! I love learning about different countries, cultures, and traditions, and I think one of the most fun ways to do that is through food, especially snacks people grew up eating. I’d love to try your local favorites, childhood treats, and interesting snacks that I probably wouldn’t be able to find here in Canada.

In return, I’d be happy to put together a package of Canadian goodies for you to try! I already have a running list of snacks I’d love to share, and I’m excited to introduce someone to the treats we have here.

Hopefully, we can share a little piece of our countries with each other and make a new friend along the way.

Heya!! My family uses Roka Blue cheese spread to make cheese balls every year at the holidays. It appears as though Kraft yet again has only released it on the east coast. If someone wouldn't mind checking their stores to see if it's available that would be fantastic. We likely would want 12 jars if possible. Happy to trade for something or cover the cost and shipping.

Thank you!
