So this is going to be my first time hosting a snack exchange. But Imgur needs one super bad! It won't be as fancy as the secret santa because Im not as cool as @martymage is. But I can help make this work.

I'm taking advice from people in this post. Share your ideas and maybe even things you'd like to see when I do an official launch.

I don't have a way to sort address and such. So if you don't want to share your address then this may not be the best thing for you. Maybe get a p.o box for a month? Idk. Just a suggestion.

FP EDIT

http://imgur.com/gallery/3e8PA here is the last one I am trying :) this is the link to the official post!

I'm in the US and i have always wanted to do this!

Don't send nuts or seeds out your country. They grown on that and will probably throw it all away

And meat like jerky can be a grey area. They wouldn't let me bring back pork fluff from thailand..

To australia, nuts are iffy and probably won't pass but most things that are factory sealed (like jerky) is okay.

When you talk to the person your send/receiving with you can go over things you like and don't like and so on :)

Yeah but it's imgur so if someone is legit gluten free or vegan it'd be better to be paired with someone who understands how to check

Best advice I would give is don't actually match addresses, just pair people up based on countries. Then they can organise their 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Own exchange between eachother. Just ask for entries by username and country as well as country or area to exchange with 2/?

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Then they can be paired up and discuss price range, allergies, etc. 3/3

Techincally its only illegal to sell them, but since customs is staffed by retards, they confiscate all of them.

They've relaxed the ban. I had a friend that imported them from me.
