Meanwhile, TokyoTreat has free international shipping, which is nice. I like free international shipping.
I just go with TokyoTreat because it's the first one I came across and they do have a neat take on candies and snacks. Plus I don't see too many repeats at all from month to month. Most of the time I save them just to have something to sneak into the movie theater or have as a quickie snack at my desk. But yeah, I'd say most of the time, you get lots of great stuff and it's not the kind of thing you'll find locally. But, every now and then, there's one snack here or there that just wasn't as great as you thought it might be (which is fine, because there's plenty of American snacks and candies that I'm not crazy about either, and these guys have no clue what your taste preferences are). But overall, I'm pretty satisfied with it. It's fun, neat, and it's something to look forward to each month.
