The package always arrives on time, packed full of fresh goodies that I have never tasted before. New tastes on the pallet are always good. I look forward to the new eating experience every month.

My husband and I love trying new foods from around the world. We enjoy the trivia pamphlet that comes with the treats too. Lately having an item to use in cooking a meal is super fun. The only thing is all the gummy treats. Would like to see some diversity.

Since we started Universal yums, it has been a new experience in a box. Not only from snacks from different countries, but you get interesting facts & history as well. Really have enjoyed every "adventure"!

I started getting these boxes about three years ago and have really enjoyed them overall. The snacks have been tasty and I learned a lot about other countries. I very much like the trivia packets that are included.

We love getting our yum box every month! It gets the family together for an evening of treats, laughs and learning! Wonderful for us homeschoolers! The variety is great and the unique flavors give an experience of what diffrrent cultures enjoy! My only complaint is that some products don't travel well, like certain cakes and are stale or dry. It's understandable considering the distance traveled to get to my door. Overall it's a great company and we will continue our subscription as long as we can!

I've been a subscriber for just about three years and we love getting our monthly boxes. They've made some nice improvements too by providing other food items like spice mixes and we also enjoy making the recipes found in the booklet each month and the new book/movie recommendations. We have noticed some duplicate countries/snack. I have only had to contact customer service a couple of times and have found them to be helpful when I have reached out.

I’ve been subscribed to Universal Yums for 8 years since 2016. The reason I left was because they went down in quality, lack of variety, and the price hikes for that lack of quality. The shipping they use now is FedEx parcel select or smart post. They also started adding in the sodas and drinks later on. They repeat countries and in all my years of ever being a subscriber they never did a Chinese box or a Swiss box yet they tease these items in the Christmas boxes. If I want anything from the current subscriptions I buy them from the yum shop. I think that’s a better value. Universal Yums isn’t a bad box? I had so many memories with this subscription. 3 pregnancy cravings 2 kids! Even when my kids grew up they loved the snacks. Thanks for the memories but for now it’s time for me to look at more variety. I want to add that I never needed to contact customer service in the 8 years I was with them one year I did but that was it. Never had an issue receiving my snacks! Oh and my email was replied seconds after I had sent it.

We only recently cancelled our monthly subscription after many years with Universal Yums, but we still gift this to family and friends often - and it's always a hit. Our experience, over several years was: shipping was always prompt, packages in great condition, the few times we contacted customer service (with questions not issues to resolve) we had great experiences, price was very reasonable & different sized subscriptions are available. I'm a freak when it comes to expiration dates so wanted to address that: we never got out of date items. What did happen is dates that were coming up soon on some items, but when we researched specifically the related country's dating regulations, they had "sell by" dates as their standard on packaging or very clear details that "best by" dates were just that - freshest by but not by any means a safety issue. We used the booklets that came with as well. Don't want to ruin any surprises, but our tradition was to cover almost all the amazing information in the books together while tasting. We've found foods we keep ordering now (love they added this feature) and things we will only ever try once. Have used the additional info in booklets while volunteering with kids' groups, too - very informative. So why leave? The only reason for 4 starts: again - we'd been getting their monthly boxes for years. The countries & some of the snacks do start to repeat. This is understandable - purchasing in bulk internationally must have its own limitations, but it was simply time to try a new service. We may be back & the next service has some high standards to live up to!
