SnackExchange is a community that allows Redditors to connect and exchange snacks via mail. Often, exchanges are international and provide an opportunity to enjoy difficult-to-find snacks from other countries or regions.

  2. No direct messaging allowed to get around rule #1. This will result in an immediate ban.

  3. Proof of shipment. Copy of shipping receipt and/or tracking number, picture of postmarked box.

  4. No trades violating Reddit's rules or relevant laws.

  5. Must have fair trade. Value of snacks/items must be similar in value.

  6. No hijacking posts; one exchange per post.

  7. No rudeness/hatefulness/shaming other members.

  8. All posts must start with either [Request], [Thanks], or [Discussion]

[Request] Exchange between US and anywhere

Hoping to exchange for items that may be more seasonal in any country. Looking to spend around $50 USD + shipping but happy to go lower or higher. I am in the New York metro area so anything specific that may be hard to find outside of NY I would do my best to get. Thanks!

[Request] Galician conservas

I’m looking to see if someone in Galicia would be interested in exchanging canned seafood items from Galicia in exchange for anything you want from the United States.

As the holidays approach I’d like to give my father a taste of his home for Christmas but the prices on imported seafood from Spain are very high.

I know USA probably doesn’t offer the most exciting items to exchange, but it’s where I am.

Anyways, if anyone has any interest please reach out!

Thank you. Gracias. Grazas.

[Discussion]How to ship candy to EU?

I'm trying to mail candy bars to the EU from the USA. The post office says the recipient will have to pay $112 to receive the items because candy is a restricted item. How do you do it cheaply?

Not sure what I’m looking for, just wanting to try some different snacks I can’t get in the US! I can send plenty of ranch packets, candy corn, a variety of Halloween candy, Doritos chips, pumpkin flavored treats, anything you’d like! I have a budget of $100 for the treat box but it can be lower. Thank you!!

[Request] Arkansas, US to Anywhere

I have access to Latin American foods, but not a ton! Asian foods as well but once more not a ton. There’s a lot of regional snacks, and different items where I live, like jams, crackers, ( those one drink powder things?? I don’t know what they’re called )

We don’t have to exchange snacks as well, if you’re looking for items from the US we could exchange that as well.

My budget is 60 usd ( not including shipping ). The only thing I don’t want to send abroad or across the states is drinks as the shipping is so so expensive.

It would be cool to exchange with someone from South Korea, or Vietnam, but anywhere is fine.

[Discussion] Surveys - Yes/No?

I have received a request to survey the community. I’ve looked into surveys held here in the past and usually the OP doesn’t come back to share the results as requested.

Do we (as a community) still want to participate in those surveys?

If yes, do we only want to participate in surveys for school or all snack surveys?

If yes, do they need to have the required 3 months & 600 karma?

Thanks for your input!

[request] US hoping to trade with UK

I’d like to exchange snacks with someone in the UK. Specifically, I’m hoping you can get me 4 sleeves of elderberry (ETA: blackcurrant, sorry, brain fog, need more tea) Hall’s Soothers because they’re our favorite for colds, but they’re not made here. I’d also love some sweets, small pastries, baking mixes, or snack foods. Any combination thereof would be lovely.

In exchange, I offer all the snacks the Midwest has to offer. I also have access to other food cultures through some excellent local markets including Hispanic, Hawaiian, and pan-Asian. Let me know what interests you and I’ll see what I can do!

Hoping to keep it to around $35 USD/£27 GBP.

[Request] Singapore to Anywhere

Been a while since my last trade! Open to anywhere as long as I can ship there. Budget's around 30usd excluding shipping.

I have access to Korean and Japanese snacks. I'll be going to the Philippines and Taiwan so I'll be able to get some snacks from there as well.

In exchange, I'd love some savoury snacks, tea, and instant food! :)

Honestly anything stereotypical sounds fun

[REQUEST] Canadian looking to trade for Easy Cheese

I know it's kinda gross, but I love it and it's been years since I had some easy cheese. Closest thing we have here is cheeze whiz but it just hits slightly different. I am willing to trade a whole box of Canadian goodies such as ketchup and all dressed chips, Maltesers, wine gums, coffee crisps, or anything you can think of really.

My only reference is my Etsy shop that I run called ComfortCreationsCA. I ship 40-60 packages a month to my customers around the world so it will be no problem ensuring your package of goodies arrives in great condition with tracking. Located on the East Coast in Nova Scotia.

Cheers,

Wesley

EDIT: I thought I had hidden this post before going to bed, but oh my there are a lot of options for trading. Bless you all.

[Request] California, USA looking to exchange with Japan

Hi!! I'm from California, USA and I'm looking to exchange a $50 snack package with someone in Japan!

It's almost Halloween here, so I can include Halloween candy or autumn / pumpkin-themed snacks. I also live near a Trader Joe's, so I can include Trader Joe's snacks too!!

I'm specifically looking for Japanese convenience store snacks, especially Japan exclusive 7-Eleven and/or Lawson ramen. This is more of a reach, but I've also really been craving Tokyo Banana cakes. 🍌🍜
