My second box came like Tuesday and my third box came today. My second box was late but I'm surprised the third box came on time!
This is my second box and I've already had 3/4. A little bit of a review
Strawberry Smoothie - scared to tried this but will probably shove it all in my mouth to get that smoothie taste!
Bonnie Wee Oatbakes - blehh trashed. It tastes just...blehh
Lighted Toasted Pistachios - I took it to school and everyone stole them! They were good though! Changed to love after tasting.
Fruit and Seed Flapjack - I was actually really surprised I liked this so much. It was really good but a bit sweet out of no where. Changed to love after tasting.

I received 2 boxes so far and really am liking them! The flapjacks are my favorite- oatmeal cookies are a weakness of mine. I'm not liking their dried fruit's consistency at all. It's...just weird..I am saving myself the heartache and ended up trashing just about everything witj.dried fruit chunks.

Oh, I know and really appreciate how it's not processed. But, chewy bananas? No thanks!
I am so canceling.Originally Posted by Dalylah /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Zadi check your account on the "Your Deliveries" page and see if you can get more clarification. Mine looks like this now. It is very specific about what day they were billed, shipped, etc.
So the box that's in the mail should be my third box yet I have yet to receive even the first!

I AM EXERCISING WILL POWER! My third box arrived today, and I tossed it in my bag to go to work *without even opening it*!

Every single thing in that box looks right up my alley. The apple crumble might get a demotion to try because I'm not a fan of raisins, and the apples I've had in other things have been a bit spongy for me. My family is from a *huge* apple-growing area, and we always made our own dried apple slices (no sugar added to those), and these are different enough to be disorienting. I think we must have dried at a higher temperature or for a longer time, or maybe both. I'm used to a more leathery dried apple than these. Texture-wise, they kind of remind me of some alligator sausage I once had, of all things. They're really spongy, for lack of a better word. But everything else? It was easy to not dig into this stuff tonight, but I'm not sure any of it will last until Tuesday, aka stress day, aka the main reason I wanted to get these boxes in the first place.
And then my fourth box is on the way as well. Based on when my first three boxes arrived, I'm guessing this one will arrive on Wednesday.

I'm wary of the chili and lime pistachios because I'm just not big on spicy stuff, and I have a feeling that the dark chocolate is going to be too sweet for me (I had something else with this dark chocolate, and it was too sugary for my preference), but I love almonds and berries, so I'm looking forward to trying it all.
(And then there's the part where I was digging through my desk drawer at work this afternoon looking for SweeTarts -- I had a craving, and I could have sworn I had some stashed in there somewhere -- and instead found bags of dried sour cherries, freeze-dried raspberries, and pistachios from Trader Joe's. *So* many pistachios. And a couple of different types of pepitas. I clearly have my snacking priorities, and they are in the dried fruit, nuts, and seeds arena.) (I do have to say that the black currants were a lot tarter than I had expected, and the ingredients explain that: Lemon juice is in there. On the up side, lots of vitamin C!)

Crunchy banana chips are actually usually crunchy not because of added sugar but because they're deep-fried. If you want non-fried crunchy banana stuff, you will have to turn to freeze-dried stuff.

Call my strange but i love their dried fruit especially the bananas I don't like the banana chips you get from the store because they are too hard. these taste more like home made dehydrated bananas. I'm actually going to buy some bananas this weekend and brake out the hubby's dehydrator and try my hand at making some of my own.
I also loved the bonnie wee oat bakes i really like the crackers they reminded me of veggie crackers and it paired really well with the onion dip. I was only meh on my first box but box 2 and 3 were better. Still a bit on the fence about keeping it past week 5 though.

I only have ONE problem with this service.....I get the mail at 2pm, before I have had lunch...and I eat the whole box because I'm hungry and everything looks soooo good! LOL

Tried out the Mango Lassi today...pretty tasty! The pumpkin seeds were mediocre as expected, but the mango pieces and yogurt covered peanuts were really good! I've had unsweetened dried mangos before (I'm looking at you, Trader Joe's!) that tasted god awful, so I was relieved to see these were tasty.
Also, I find snacking in public kind of shameful sometimes if I'm eating something unhealthy, but I'm always proud of my unique Graze snacks!

Agreed...but the bad thing is that people are always interested! LOL. Took mine to work with me with intention of having snacks for the week, and my coworkers all wanted to taste everything, so now I'm snackless for the rest of the week! Oh well.

I feel your pain...my mail comes at 8:30-9 a.m. and I work evenings, so I wake up to my box! Hard not to eat the whole thing for breakfast.

Love the product....only got 2 of the 5 boxes that I was suppose to get by now, and I was charged for the 5th box that should have been free.
Let's see how they response, I hope it can be fixed, but unless they have a domestic shipment center, I can't see it happening.
I would not mind 16 snacks shipped monthly for $20 if I can pick my favorites and they had a long enough shelf life.....

I was charged for my fifth box when it should have been free. So... email ticket into them to see what happened.
Is it me or does it seem like the boxes really take 2 weeks to arrive which is irritating since I get "last week's" box "this week". I did see an option to change deliveries to every two weeks which I may try.

Mine seem to take one week, at least so far. The box I received yesterday was shipped on the 14th, aka seven days earlier.

Finally got my box! https://www.graze.com/us/b/ZJLW5
By far, the break out star of this box was the Peking Dynasty. I was skeptical about it since I'm not a fan of beans, but I LOVED it. I had to stop myself from eating it all in one sitting. Hot crossed yum lived up to the hype - I really like how the sponge pieces take on the taste from the orange infused raisins, and the almonds are amazing. The smoky gazpacho dip was as good as I'd hoped.
The only one I wasn't a fan of was the summer compote. It was bland, and most of the shortbread cookies were crumbled into undippable pieces - I only got one whole piece. It was ok, but I wouldn't want to get it again.

I emailed them about my 5th box being charged as well. Let's see what they say!
And when I cancelled, I gave them the reason of "not being able to pick my own snacks". Because I want the shortbread/compote EVERY WEEK!
Seriously, though, if we could pick our snacks, I'd probably re-sub, even with the slow shipping.
