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.

Update: It’s okay definitely not getting much of anything for what you are spending

I paid $65.99 for the “family” sized box and the “10 extra items and a drink” upgrade. I received 6 items total. And NO DRINK ! I’ve reached out three times I made my partner open the box early as this was gonna be a valentines gift because my gut knew the box looked tiny !! Whatever you do trust the reviews.

Update: they have since sent me a “corrected box” I still feel as though you don’t get as much as advertised it’s okay for the novelty one purchase. Everything in the box was super tiny but I guess it’s a ok way to “try” different snacks from another place. You’re better off picking things you would actually enjoy ☹️

Avoid this company like the plague

This whole experience has been horrible. When I signed up, they promised Christmas delivery with a Christmas crate with a 12-month subscription. They didn't deliver the Dec package until Jan 18, and as of Jan 30, still havent mailed the January package. I spoke with Ken and their customer support is a joke and has had an excuse for everything. First, it was held up due to holiday mail. This month they say they had a snow storm that lasted two days. They take zero accountability for their lack of timeliness. Avoid at all costs. Buy a Munchie or International Crate instead and avoid the hassle of chasing orders every month

Hi there, Rick!

Thank you for reaching out, we are very sorry to hear of the troubles with your first order. During the Holiday Season we did see delays due to a high influx of orders, and we regret to hear your order was affected. We have since brought those delays to an end and are again shipping with our end of the month guarantee, which guarantees all monthly orders are shipped by the end of each month.

We truly hate to hear we have gotten off to a bad start and would love the opportunity to make things up to you over the coming months!

If you find you need any assistance with your upcoming orders, we are here to help.

Just avoid snackcrate

I ordered a box November 30th and was already charged December 1st which I understand why because it’s a monthly thing. When I asked to cancel December they said no problem. Well come January I was charged twice. Once for December and once for January. I had emailed multiple representatives and was told I would get a refund and a free crate. When contacting my bank they told me snackcrate tried to charge me 2 more times after already getting money in the same month. You can’t cancel once you sign up and even if you ask to skip a month they still charge you. It’s been almost a month and I can’t get my refund. They’ve sent me screenshots of an “attempted” refund but I haven’t gotten my money. The fact you can’t speak to anyone and have to explain everything over email is absolutely INSANE. The crates are also extremely underwhelming.

Holiday crate not in time for the holidays

I’m very disappointed. I ordered a special additional Holiday Crate as a Christmas present for my son in November so I would be sure to have it in time.
I sent them an email a week before Christmas worried because I hadn’t received it yet. I got this reply from customer service:
Because you took advantage of the Holiday Crate offer, you are guaranteed to receive your Holiday SnackCrate (and your December SnackCrate!) before Christmas.
A week before Christmas and I hadn’t been notified that it had even shipped yet. I wrote back 2 days before Christmas asking where it was and I didn’t receive an answer.
Christmas came and went and I wrote back again and was told they didn’t make it out in time and I would get a $10 credit off my next crate.
I received my December crate today 1/2/2025 but NO Holiday crate.
What good is ordering a holiday crate when you receive it AFTER Christmas and New Years???
Not falling for it again next holiday time.
Please do better! $40 down the drain.

Hi there, Kristey! Thank you for reaching out, we are so sorry for the wait on your Holiday Crate. All Add-On orders should be shipped out with their monthly SnackCrates, so we hate to hear there was an error during that shipping process.

Do not do business with them

I am a new customer, my first box was in November and arrived around thanksgiving. I then was sent an email for a holiday crate add-on that if confirmed before Dec.1 was guaranteed for xmas delivery. I have been charged for that and my December monthly box... to date as of Dec. 31 I have not received either. NO RESPONSE TO EMAILS, since Dec. 19. They shutdown online chat, and have no phone number to call. DO NOT do business with them.

Update: it is Jan. 2 my order has still.not shipped, finally was able to chat customer service they offered a $10 credit... even though they failed Christmas delivery or even my.monthly box to be shipped in Decemeber. I was to have had 2 monthly boxes and a special.holiday box by now... and nothing. I have cancelled my subscription.

Hi there, Christina! Thank you for reaching out, we are very sorry to hear of the troubles with your orders. Our individual Holiday Crate orders were guaranteed with delivery by Christmas, however those purchased a Add-Ons were not. This is due to the shipping process of our Add-On items, they are shipped alongside the monthly boxes by the end of each month.

Unfortunately, given that these boxes are due to ship by the end of each month, guaranteed arrival before Christmas was not possible in these cases. We can see your order was shipped with our end of the month guarantee and is out for delivery now.

We wish you the best on your next snacking adventure!

SnackPack isn't there

I ordered a SnackPack which said a full sized drink and a snack. Well I got my drink which was an Iron Brew which I'm a huge fan of but I didn't get my snack. I got charged $7 for that snackpack and to only get a drink is a huge let down. Especially since I didn't get the coffee candy that I had already paid $4 for before it got sold out. So as of right now I have disabled my auto renewal and I'm just waiting for my last SnackCrates to arrive since I don't have a reason to stay as a SnackCrate customer anymore. Plus the constant emails that I have to send instead of talking to someone is making me wanna try Universal Yums instead since it takes days to receive a response to my emails and I've sent 4 now 5 of them.

Three Months Without Paid-for Crates

I started my SnackCrate subscription in September. First box was great. For the October box, I decided to order add-ons. I paid extra. The box didn’t come. They said it was delayed due to dock strikes. They said it would come in November. I paid for add-ons for the next box as well. November came and went and I still didn’t receive any boxes. I emailed customer service in November trying to get more information. They gave me an estimated date of November 20th. The date came and went and no news on both boxes. Tried to cancel my subscription. Got charged early December, still no news on boxes. Attempted to email again, email bounced. Feeling scammed. I just got a box and it was only two things of cookies that I added on in October. Nothing else. Still no news on my October or November boxes. Now no word on my December box either. I’m pretty upset.

FALSE ADVERTISING

I paid for priority shipping my December crate or bonus Christmas crate was suppose to arrive by christmas , its been over a week my crate hasnt been packed or shipped out yet. This will be my first and LAST month. I will be cancelling you will not be charging my account next month when i didnt receive anything this month. If you cant keep up with the order loads then stop advertising sales making the experience worse as if you can. Its false advertising and a greedy business practice. Do better!!

Update 12/27/24
If i could take my star back & give a negative i would. Cause your response is a blatantly lie. I know what the website said because its literally the only reason i ordered it. Why would i want a holiday bundle after the holidays? Make it make sense!! Ive contacted support with no help besides being told i need to wait longer than the allotted amount of time & my crate STILL hasnt shipped. If you think youre going to charge my account for next month when both boxes for this month are missing youre going to be sadly mistaken i will be contacting my bank & reporting fraud.

Hi Portia,

Thank you for writing in and expressing your concerns. We apologize for the inconvenience and understand this is not ideal, especially during the holiday season.

We did offer guaranteed Christmas delivery for only Holiday Crates that were purchased through during Black Friday, 6-Month Gift special, or the one-time purchase through the CandyBar.

For any December Crate with a Holiday Crate Add-On, both shipments would be packaged together to arrive by the end of the month. If this is the case for you, please contact our Support Team by email at happy@snackcrate.com and one of our Happiness Experts will be able to assist you.

Snack Create Review: Exceptional Support and Quality Snacks

Reviews is what makes or breaks a company I get it so honesty is best never cool to write a bad review because you are but hurt or just down right impatient this is my honest review of snack create

Pros
1. Support is absolutely amazing they take customer service above and beyond whole heartedly and the thing I like the most is it’s not some scripted bs it’s actual real people with real replies not some corporate mumbo jumbo

2. The snacks are good I didn’t get a box of nasty stuff or really odd flavors don’t get me wrong some odd is good and sometimes they included those

The cons
Shipping and support is slow BUT!! Just have some patience they are humans not robots they don’t have 100k employee so it’s gonna take some time

With that being said I was actually initially planned on closing my account when I got my first box because it asked me what countries I wanted I selected everything but North/South America
I was prompted to start with UK but I declined and chose the mystery one for my first box well I truly was under the impression since I declined UK it would be something more exotic Japan china Africa etc well I got Brazil and I’ve had snacks from them so many times from other providers I did select the mystery one so I do accept some responsibility for it but I truly thought it wouldn’t select the 2 continents that I specifically said I did not want but I reached out to support it took a bit but I was not in a rush nor was I mad or rude in my mind I thought it was a error with the process to be honest but support truly went above and beyond and made it right better than other snack providers on the market right now and because of that I am going to continue my subscription with them for the next year and more to come
A special thank you and shout out to

Fritz Bouche | Support Specialist

for really going above and beyond and being so kind
Merry Christmas and happy new years

Not Happy Snacker

I love travel and wanted to try the snacks from different Countries. Things were going great until September. They automatically deduct from my account around 5th of each month.y September box arrived the 27th of October ( over a month late). I have yet to receive anything for October and November (it's been paid for). I have requested a refund and cancel subscription. They have emailed the past 4-6 weeks that box is on the way. One excuse after another. I just want my money back and get away from this company.

Hi there, Sharonda! Thank you for taking the time to reach out regarding your recent experience with us, we hate to see a Snacker go. Unfortunately, with the early cancellation of a commitment plan, any outstanding promotions that came with the plan must be cancelled as well. This is due to the fact that the promotion was honored for the 6 or 12 month plan, and if the plan is not fulfilled, the promotion is no longer valid.

We hope that we have an opportunity to snack with you in the future!

Still nothing and no longer able to speak with anyone

I’ve emailed to check on my status for November with the holiday crate and December orders just to get an automated reply.. the only time I was able to speak with someone on the chat was on 12/4/24 and told that my order would ship on 12/12/24 and receive tracking information… still nothing and no way to contact them for an immediate response now January payment is right around the corner also.. this was the only thing my 10 yr old daughter asked for specifically in her letter to Santa and he wrote back telling her that if she was good she get them all year… now how do I explain that !!! So I’m trying to keep hope and faith in the company that they will magically show up.. I understand that there issues with the ports but I also know locals that I was referred by that have received their orders…

I signed up in August, this is December and I still haven’t received one thing from SnackCrate despite paying for 3 consecutive months for nothing.

Terrible Customer Service

This company is absolutely terrible at customer service and shipping. I just got Octobers snack crate in December. Novembers is nowhere to be found. I paid for an extra holiday add-on to my December snack crate. Decembers was delivered and all they did was send me another October snack crate. I have emailed them multiple times and nobody ever responds. They frequently shut off their instant messaging so you have to email them so they can ignore you. I can’t even get ahold of them to cancel my subscription. So I will be calling my bank and doing a stop payment and switching to Universal Yums. Do yourself a favor and stay away from snack crate

Universal Yums is better

The biggest issue is you pay on the 5th of each month but don't get your box until the very end of the month or early the next month. I have currently paid for 3 months and received none of them. They are blaming a 3-day port strike on a 2-month plus delay. Honestly, the boxes are good, but the speed and variety of flavors is ten-fold at Universal Yums. If they fixed the payment to shipping times, it would be more enjoyable.

Not on time, don’t always get what you order. I’ve had to ask for a refund and was gaslight into thinking I got what I was owed to have to prove to them they were wrong and finally got a refund.
