Verdict: I really liked (and "liked"!) the marvellous macaroon and scrumptious blueberry swirl! I'm not big on seeds but the omega booster seeds were alright; I left them as "try." The mumbai masala was alright, too, but I'm not interested in repeating it anyime soon (it doesn't seem to have the maybe-"health benefit" of the seeds) so I "trashed" it for now (I figure I can always change it back if I develop a sudden craving!).

I haven't received any other boxes yet but have two posted. This is "last week"'s box, which I'm really hoping arrives today:

http://grz.cm/b/9O0NW

These are all currently marked "try" except the jaffa cake is marked "like" (I'm a choco-holic!). I'm looking forward especially to that and to the lingonberries in the shangri-la! And that veggie sushi plate looks pretty darn good, as well!

As for next week's box (this week's box? my third one):

http://grz.cm/b/ONFVJ

Two "loves" (honeycomb crunch and this little figgy went to market), a "like" (yaki soba) and a "try" (pina colada). I CAN'T WAIT for this box!

I'm getting a little impatient waiting for Box #2 but am otherwise loving this sub so far and have no plans to cancel even after the 5th box, unless something goes majorly wrong... hopefully that won't be the case!

Mmmmm...I had the jaffa cake last week and those raisins are delicious!

A few yummy pictures of my latest box :3

My mouth is watering as I look at them!

These are from top to bottom: Bonnie Wee Oatbakes, Marvellous Macaroon, Love Mix and Summer Berry Compote.

Well, I couldn't resist for long lol. I signed up today and had fun trashing, liking, and loving a bunch of their snack varieties. Can't wait to see what my first box contains!

 

[feemia]

Was anyone else unimpressed with their 1st box?  I trashed 3 of the 4 items from mine.

Summer Berry Compote - the berry dip was good, but the shortbread cookies were dry and had a slightly chemical flavor

Bonnie Wee Oatbakes - the onion marmelade was good, but the oatbakes were dry without much flavor

Love Mix - the cherries were yummy, but the apricots were pretty bland and the lingon berries had almost no taste - even my dogs wouldn't eat them

I added Shangri-La to my like list, because the pineapple was really good and the rest was ok, but it would have been much better with a little salt.

FYI y'all, the orange infused rasins are AMAZING. i hate rasins normally but these things are addicting. no complaints about graze box for me so far! i've also earned a bunch of $1 off boxes from posting about it on my tumblr and instagram.

Ha ha - I just went through and trashed everything with the orange raisins. I did not like them at all. The trash/try/like/love rating is a great idea.

Glow long did it take after you first subbed for your first box to appear on the Graze site? I subscribed last Wednesday and I'm getting impatient.

I subscribed last Sunday -- the 27th -- and my first box showed up on the site yesterday.

 

[dressupthedog]

Of course, as soon as I ask that, my first box went up. http://www.graze.com/us/b/11XWB/ I'm moderately excited about what I'm getting. Edit: URL shorteners are not allowed, please post full urls. Thank you.

Ack! I noticed that the site no longer let's you rate the lemon poppy slice, so I wonder if it's not going to be available anymore. It was soooo delicious!

I contacted them to find out if it's temporary; I'll let you know what I find out.

 

[Lindalk]

Might be because they were almost expired by the time they got here on the lemon poppy cake.

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

I wish my boxes would show up... This is frustrating.

It's completely gone from my account.  I'm thinking that they heard back from customers about the expiration and decided it wouldn't work for them.  I thought there were a few different cake-type things like this when I signed up that aren't there before.  If was just not going to be available for a while, I would have thought they would go ahead and leave it on the site to let you know it might show up, but since it's gone, I'm thinking they're pulling it completely.  I know there were definitely more than 90 items when I signed up, and now there are 88, so it looks like they are probably tweaking their menu for the US, and this was a casualty.  But now I'm wondering what the other ones were.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!  Oh well, at least I get to try it once... it's in the box coming to me this week.  I love all the cake and tea selections on the UK site, and it's too bad that they just can't ship them fast enough to still be fresh when we get them.  Maybe if they expand to a US facility, we'll get some of those selections back.  

But still.  Grrrr.

i imagine there might be a delay in boxes showing up, since it seems like a TON of people are signing up through invite codes, probably more than they have anticipated.

 

[brandyk]

my second box came in today. we still have 1 item left from the first box (florentine - why on earth haven't we eaten this delicious looking thing??). but i opened the second box. the toffee apple expire tomorrow, no big, i'll let the kids dig into it then. after having read about their crazy packing machine and algorithms i have no doubt they will get this sorted. 

 

[Sundsgn]

I am disappointed too. I had chosen a code from someone that had the lemon cake because of that, and now won't even get to try it. I looked at the UK option too, and would love all those high tea choices, the breads and even the olives. Bummer...and like you said, maybe they will get the kinks worked out.  I wouldn't be that worked up over one or two days past the expiration date. I'd be concerned if there was mold however... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes, even though they claim to have 90+ varieties, they had 89 when I signed up, and now only 88. I would love to try the olives, or bread, or any of the pastries (not to mention the tea)!

I think I might drop them an email to let them know I'm still willing to try their pastries, even if it's a day or two past the best by date! At least eventually, when they work the kinks out... Is that too annoying?

 

[shandimessmer]

Ahhhh - guys, why haven't I gotten my first box yet? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I signed up like 2 weeks ago. Time to go check the website and see what they are saying. . .

 

[yousoldtheworld]

Hoping my 3rd box shows up tomorrow (I got my last box last Wed.) So excited to try all four snacks in this box that I will be surprised if I haven't eaten them all by the end of the day...who needs meals, anyway? lmao.
