Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 50 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant frustration with the subscription service, finding it extremely difficult to cancel. They frequently reported issues with payments, including billing discrepancies, charges occurring after cancellation, and concerns regarding payment method updates. Reviewers also consistently criticized the customer service, describing it as unresponsive and unhelpful when trying to resolve these issues. A small number of people were satisfied with the product itself, mentioning enjoyment from trying snacks from other countries or appreciating the customer service team's efforts to help when issues arose. However, a larger portion of customers found the product quality to be poor, with some receiving stale, melted, or uninteresting snacks, or items that did not align with their specified allergy restrictions.

Hey there, Brian! Thank you for reaching out! We are so sorry to hear about the wait on your snacks and any frustrations surrounding our shipping times.

Our monthly SnackCrates are scheduled out by the end of each month, to allow time for import from the featured country of the month. But, if you would prefer to make some changes to your account, to better tailor your subscription, we would be happy to help!

Snack Crate in theory is a terrific…

Snack Crate in theory is a terrific idea. But this company ruins that idea. They lock you into a six month contract and charge you to cancel. Very deceitful.
They charge you in the first week of the month but then don’t ship until the end of the month. Literally cannot wait until contact ends. Tell everyone not to do business with this company
Their reply says to contact their customer service - but it was their people who said no you cannot cancel. But you can buy your way out of the 6 month commitment.

Hey there, Jen! Thank you for reaching out, we are sorry to hear about the troubles surrounding your order! We were able to check in and can see your February SnackCrate was shipped out on time, by the end of February, and is currently on it's way to you! We apologize for any confusion surrounding our shipping process, the SnackCrates ship at the end of each month, as this allows enough time to bring those fresh goodies over from their home country.

Your SnackCrate should be reaching you very soon! If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to our Customer Support Team for assistance.

Box late every single month

I stopped getting the subscription for several months, then started it up again, hoping for better service, but no such luck. Here it is March 3, and they're just now shipping February's box, meaning that they will charge my card for March before getting the previous month. They always blame someone else. If it is late every single month because of someone else's mistake, send it earlier. Problem solved.

Deception At Its Finest

Deception at its finest. Locks you into a 12 month monthly subscription then never sends the crates. Save yourself stress in arguing with them and don't even order. Had to file disputes and block them from charging my card.

I have not interacted or purchased from snack crate since Feb 2020! Tell me why I’ve been charged £18.00 5years later…. For a subscription I didn’t sign up to! To an address I haven’t been living at for years.

Customer service is shocking.

I decided to give Snack Crate a try…

I decided to give Snack Crate a try after receiving an offer for a free Cadbury box with new subscription, I placed my order and after a few back and forth emails it was sold out. I did receive my first snack box along with an add-on purchase in a timely manner but to say it was disappointing is an understatement. The box was USA snacks that are easily found at local stores ! And there were not many of them either. As for my add-on of Ireland for $24... I received 4-5 small items. Communication was great up until I said I would not be continuing my subscription. This was a joke for the money I spent and of course no refund will be offered now that the box has been received and opened (my daughter opened several snacks) . I am going back to Universal Yum where I know the quality, quantity and shipping time is far better !

No ordering internationally

I remember ordering SnackCrate for myself back in 2022 and I loved it. I thought I'd order again however, it turns out now they don't ship internationally anymore. I so badly want to give a 5 star review yet it seems that you cant order internationally anymore which sucks because i loved it. :(

Thank you for your kind words and for being a fan of SnackCrate! We’re so glad you enjoyed your experience with us back in 2022.

At this time, we’re unfortunately unable to ship our SnackCrate's to Australia. We know this is disappointing, and we truly appreciate your support. If we’re able to resume international shipping in the future, we’ll be sure to announce it on our social media channels—so be sure to stay tuned!

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and we hope to snack with you again someday!

Scam company

Terrible company, terrible experience, false advertising, terrible support, will take your money without shipping out boxes. Will lose your address in the middle of your subscription and won't tell you until you reach out boxes behind and ask why even though you already received some thing and the address hasn't changed or be altered. CC information immediately leaked on the dark web and have since received over 50 spam calls from people trying to get more information

DON'T SIGN UP; YOU'LL BE PAYING

I signed up for a promo, 50% off discount. I read reviews online before signing up to make sure I could cancel my subscription, etc. Yes, yes, yes. I go on to cancel. Auto-renew cancelled but I still show 11 months @ $38.99/month. I chatted, was told I couldn't cancel. Then I can cancel if I pay the discount I received on first order, $21.50. I got sent a few paragraphs which says you still have to pay but other lines indicate you can cancel anytime (written multiple times throughout the speel). I paid the stupid fee and cancelled. I just paid $43.00 for a snack box. I wouldn't recommend to anyone for the price and the hidden fees that you get charged. You can say all you want it's written in there but it's not. I took screenshot of what I was told. You can cancel anytime, you can't cancel, you can cancel anytime, you can't cancel. Makes absolutely no sense and I'm very upset over this whole thing. Never had this issue with Yum Box.

Hi there! We are very sorry to hear your subscription ended so soon and for any troubles with the cancellation. We offer three different types of subscriptions upon sign up, a Monthly, 6 Month or 12 Month Plan.

The Monthly subscriptions are able to be cancelled at any time, without fee, as they are agreed to a month-to-month basis. The 6 and 12 Month plans, however, are committed to at the time of sign up and do incur potential cancellation fees, if terminated early. These details are listed during sign up and in our Terms of Service, but we do apologize if that was not made clear enough!

We hope that we have the opportunity to snack with you in the future, to make things up to you!

Hey there, Chris!

Thank you for reaching out! I’d be happy to clarify how our subscription plans work.

During the sign-up process on our website, we offer promotional discounts for customers who choose a 6- or 12-month commitment plan. These promotional offers are only available at the time of sign-up and must be selected by the person creating the subscription.

If you prefer more flexibility, we also offer a month-to-month billing plan with no long-term commitment. However, this option does not include promotional discounts or special offers, as it follows our standard monthly pricing.

If you believe you may have selected the wrong plan by mistake, I recommend reaching out to our customer support team at happy@snackcrate.com, and we’d be happy to review your subscription and explore possible solutions.

We look forward to assisting you!

Terrible experience, super expensive for the cheap snacks. $40 directly to the trash. I
live in the US and got a Box with US products and 1 mango Thai. Very disappointing on my first box and the rule says that if I cancel the subscription I will be charged for the full 6 months of cheap snacks….

10/10 do not recommend.

This was most definitely not worth the subscription or purchase. I will be canceling my subscription. I ordered the ultimate package with the snack of choice and signature drink upgrade. I did not receive the drink stated included. I did not receive the snack of my choice at all. I received a package from America when it was advertised as all of this new out of country things to try. I’ve had everything in this $60 box with the exception of maybe 5 items. Things they sell right here in my town. If I’m from America, I already know what this stuff tastes like. At this point, how would a subscription service of promised out of the country taste, be useful to me when I’m only getting out of county taste. I’m so disappointed. I was so excited and it ruined my experience. Literally not worth it. If I could give 0 stars. I would. What a waste for me, personally.

Stay away. Use a different company.

Order two subscriptions for my adult kids and their SO’s. One no problems so far. Which is the only reason to give two stars.
The other has been nothing but issues, November's box came in January and was missing two items. Decembers box never came, January’s box still hasn’t come. I’m not going through this for 7 more months. Why am I spending all this time trying to get a resolution for services already prepaid as gifts? Stay away. They charge a premium fee and give less than mediocre service.
