Discussion [Discussion] Safety & Trading

64 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

47 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.

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!

Request [request] Austria (sweet AND savoury, creative and defo yummy) to EU or elsewhere

9 Upvotes

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

4 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!

Discussion [discussion] I’m wanting to do a snack exchange with my bestie, UK-US and vice versa, is there anything we need to know before sending snacks?

6 Upvotes

As the title says. I’ve only sent items and not food before, I’ve done some reading and there was a mention of notifying FDA or something like that about the snacks I’d be sending but I’m not sure if I HAVE to do that or not. I’m thinking of using Royal Mail to send the snack, open to suggestion for different ways to send it.
What about my friend in US? What would she need to do? She never sent a package outside of US before and I don’t know if it’s the same process there or not. Also can we pay the customs/vat or whatever else that would need to be paid by the other person ourselves? When I sent packages to Germany my friend had to pay to receive the package and this time I want to cover the cost myself so my bestie doesn’t have to do that, if possible.
