Post Your Graze Boxes!

[Deenellie]

I keep pushing back my orders by a month until I see something new.  I'm afraid if I cancel and they improve it'll be difficult to get back in.

You never know. I got my bunny email today. I think they may be sending waves of them.

No I got the box that would have had the bunny in it and there is no bunny.  I wasn't judging based on the email but on what I actually recieved.

Empty box? T_T Sad times

I've tried all of the options I chose.  Now I'm getting repeats and I'm bored.  I don't wan to cancel as I want to hold out in case they add the popcorn or olives or tea cakes!!!  :satisfied:

I think I might do that too. I love the tea cake I received in my very first box!

Yeah. Mine still definitely came from Britain, not the US though, so I guess that may be why?

My bunny wasn't in a box. He was in a plain white envelope with cardboard padding, completely separate from any snacks.

My last few boxes have said USPS for Royal Mail or something like that.

Oooh.  I did not understand this.  Maybe I still will get him then...

Also, does anyone know why the British Graze box has so many more snack options than the US ones?  I didn't really realize until today and I am experiencing major envy...

I think we have three theories: Some things will go bad before they are likely to arrive (during one period in particular, there were a bunch of tea cakes that weren't delivered until after expiration dates, and then they were taken off the US list), some things might not be allowed through customs, and some things probably just don't travel well over long distances. We're still the trial run, so I think we are probably going to continue to see things pulled as they reassess shipping times.

Oh I know we're the trial run and I wasn't meaning to sound like I was complaining or whiny- I just didn't know why.  The popcorn in particular doesn't make sense to me- surely it can make it through customs and I doubt it'd go bad if sealed.  But I wasn't and am not meaning to complain- just curious.

I'm also slowly getting bolder with what I'll trash- I was really conservative about it the first few boxes but this time there was an item that was just ok for me but not bad and I trashed it without much thinking /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Popcorn is considered a "seed" and generally can't go through customs. I tried to take popcorn (unpopped and sealed) through customs in Australia and they threw it all out. They said it was a seed and no seeds are allowed through.

So I'm guessing that is the issue with the popcorn. The rest is probably expiration dates like you guys have said. 

My boxes have been coming in a random pattern. I'll get two every other week, usually on the same day. So I'll get the previous week's super late and the current one a day or two early. It's weird. It's getting really confusing to keep track of what week I'm even on. Right now I have two boxes posted that still haven't gotten here and a new one supposedly will go out on Friday. 

I'm supposed to be getting the new Brooklyn Bites snack this week (or next week? I'm super confused) and I'm excited about it...I'm obsessed with the cheddar cashews. I wish I could find those somewhere else.

I have a feeling that they are aiming to open up shop here at some poit, but that this trial run was just to see if the idea was popular enough. There is no way that they are making that much profit by air mailing all these snacks from Britain.

Ugh ditto about the cheddar cashews! Unfortunately the only thing that comes up when you google that is vegan "cheese" made from cashews /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This was my first box and I thought it was so delicious!! My favorite was by far the pistachios! I can't wait for my next box.

Mine did too but it's the exact size as my grazebox.

Sorry this response is a little belated but then what about all the other seeds they send, like the pumpkin and sunflower seeds?

Those are already cooked. Popping corn in its natural form is a viable seed, and as such can introduce serious seed-borne diseases.
