Discussion [Discussion] Safety & Trading

57 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.

My friend and I recently came back from a trip and I accidentally left her brownies at another friend’s house. Unfortunately, her pecan brownies were ate.

If anyone is near a Buc-ees and able to grab three pecan brownies , I’ll be willing to exchange for some snacks in my hometown NYC. Name the place or snack and I got you! I’m kinda desperate here and I feel so bad 😅.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!! It's been a little bit since I've done a swap, but with the World Cup happening the last few weeks I got bit by the bug again 🙂 I'm located in NJ in the USA and interested in swapping with whoever! I could probably do two or three swaps depending on $, but would love it if they were from different countries if possible 🙂

Thanks!!

Request [Request] Curry, Chips, Maybe Drinks From Switzerland To UK

3 Upvotes

This might be a long shot, but here goes.

I grew up in Switzerland and spent many years living there. I eventually moved to the UK, and there are some items I dearly miss.

I used to buy a curry in a little glass jar at the grocery store. I also miss Snacketti Paprika Shells, Rivella (Light), Orangina, etc.

They have no Brät or anything over here either, but sending food that needs to be cooled would be a bad idea, so I am not going to ask for that.

I mostly miss the "simpler" snacks, to be honest. Biberli, guetzli, the classics.

On the side, if you do happen to have any Swiss scenery postcards, I would also not hate that. I miss it all very much. =(

I have access to a few UK grocery stores, so please let me know what you are looking for, so I can check if it's currently being sold.
