What are the best online stores for ordering international snacks to the UK?

Posted by thatlokigirl@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 14 comments

I’d love to be able to order some international sweets and snacks for my family to try but I don’t want to end up with huge shipping costs and additional fees.

Does anyone know the best UK companies that I can order from?

Snackverse does a new country every month if that's something you're interested in?

Only if you never want leave them. I'm currently trying to stop a subscription and their customer service is appalling.

They are easy to cancel with. They may take 5 days to reply but they immediately cancel if you email them

Their cancel subscription button appears periodically just keep trying and if not you need to email them stating I am cancelling my subscription which means my last payment will be on this date meaning that will be my last box etc so you've got it in writing them if they charge you any further past your 28 day notice you can inform the bank for a charge back ☺️

I wanted to cancel immediately after taking out the subscription. Under UK law there's a 14 day cooling off period. I emailed them and told them but they kept trying to ignore me.

I eventually got the consumer advice folks involved and Snackverse cancelled the subscription.

Since then they have been trying to bribe me with free boxes if I will remove my TrustPilot review. I'll not do that.

American grocer is a good one. Just make sure not to use their royal mail / parcel force option and opt to pay a bit extra for DPD since parcel force will lose it.

For South African/Australian/New Zealand snacks you can get them from the SANZA online shop. They are based in London. Their website:https://www.sanza.co.uk

I regularly use them to buy NZ stuff I miss.

What sort of snacks and from which countries?

Might be best going to a local oriental supermarket or eastern European specialist shop
