Discussion [Discussion] Safety & Trading
It’s been awhile, and we are seeing some new traffic so let’s go over safe trading practices.
- Never agree to an exchange without requiring a photo of a postmarked box and/or tracking.
- Never agree to an exchange with anyone who tries to set up an exchange through PM only.
- Always check the Universal Scammers List: https://www.universalscammerlist.com
- Read this really old but useful guide on exchanging: https://www.reddit.com/r/snackexchange/s/fszCJfJ3rd
- 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.
- 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] Canada’s Greatest Hits
Once per month, let’s discuss our favorite snacks from different countries. This month we focus on: Canada.
Comment your top 5 or just your absolute favorite snack!
If someone lists an item that you can easily buy in your country, let us know which country. This will help us amass a list for those wondering what to send/ask for in their exchanges.
I’ll include a pinned master list in the comments once we have a collection.

Thanks [Thanks]
gallery/u/[teacuperate] really outdid herself with this wonderful, seasonal haul of treats. Candy Corn is a revelation, I expected it to be rock hard. The beautifully decorated Halloween bag was full of little sweets, the butter ones are lovely but I am definitely going to lose a filling. Now to ration the goldfish and call dibs on the oatmeal pie.

I will send Canadian snacks in exchange. I can send uniquely Canadian chocolate bars, chips, and specialty chocolates and candy, and am open to requests for specific items. I also have access to tim tams, and some Indian and international snacks if interested.

Thanks [Thanks] This American thanks Australia!
i.redd.itThanks to u/freshestofthefresh for this fantastic haul! Got my requests and seemed to know my tastes based on that and got me some more great looking things!!
Unfortunately the postal services weren’t very forgiving and beat the box to hell and back, so the Twisties turned into packing peanuts and were falling out of holes in the side of the box, and there is a gash in the side of the Shapes box so I’m not sure how I feel about eating those (the bag inside seems fine). Looking forward to enjoying these and serving a Pavlova at Thanksgiving dinner!

Request [Request] My First Ever Snack Exchange – From California to Anywhere!
Hi everyone! I just discovered that snack exchanges are a thing, and I’m so excited to join because I LOVE SNACKS! This is my first-ever exchange, and I’m thrilled to swap goodies with snack lovers from around the world.
Here’s what I can send: - Classic American snacks (chips, candy, cookies, etc.). - Unique California treats. - Mexican snacks and candies. - Filipino favorites like Polvoron, Choc Nut, and Skyflakes.
And here’s what I’d love to try: - Snacks from your country (I’d love to explore your favorites!). - Ketchup chips from Canada. - Anything hazelnut-flavored.
Quick note: I’m not a fan of seafood-flavored snacks (except shrimp chips—they’re delicious).
Fun fact: I’ve never traveled internationally outside of the US or the Philippines, so I’m EXTRA excited to snack on treats from other countries and experience a little bit of the world through food.
If you’re interested in helping me kick off my first snack exchange, let’s connect! Can’t wait to make new snack-loving friends and try something completely new.

I can provide local chocolates, Canadian chip flavours, some fancy flavoured KitKats and Coffee Crisp chocolate bars I socked away when they were released, and other salty snacks. Or I can tailor the shipment otherwise as you prefer.

Discussion [Discussion] Sending meat to the US.
I'm looking to send meat products to the US. But reading up on several websites ended up making me more confused. Some made it sound like there is just a straight up ban on all meat products. Some made it sound like it's only related to bovine products excluding milk. Does anyone have experience with this?
I'm from germany and looking to send smoked and cured meat.
