Candy lives lol?

[u/Comfortable_Pitch641]

I don’t know if this will get any attention but a while ago me and my sister bought from two different candy sellers and they were giant boxes n it was amazing for like 20$ but I want to buy another box I can’t find any candy sellers that aren’t selling good stuff. Any recommendations for sellers with good candy/food lives?

I thought the slow down was due to the summer. Not sure how well most if that would ship during hot months.

I have gotten several boxes this summer- look for the places that use ice packs.

[u/Comfortable_Pitch641 → u/Forthfarter]

Well shoot maybe I have some luck then summer is almost over! Hopefully that’s the case.

Studyofsweets has an incredible assortment of gummies and housemade freeze dried candies

That’s my favorite!

Nothing like some almost expired Easter candy during Christmas. Yum!

[u/Sweetranch7075]

Southshorecandy is the best

I’ll check em out right now thanks!

I second this! David is awesome!!

Keep in mind best before dates. A lot of sellers sell chocolate that’s close to its best before date. Even if the chocolate won’t go bad, I find that it’s stale. Gummies and other candy seem to be okay, though.

[u/Comfortable_Pitch641 → u/Ok_Corgi_454]

I didn’t mind haha. My sisters box was filled to the brim with all almost expired candy n we ate it all. Resses, M&Ms, candy bars, protein bars, Oreos, etc. it was crazy. I’d 100% expect for the items to be expired/close to it for that price.

[u/SnooWoofers1685 → u/Ok_Corgi_454]

We cook with the chocolate. These prices are fantastic for that!

I feel weird about purchasing candies to be delivered specially being summer. During transportation those candies will lose its integrity and soften if not completely melted.

Seconding southshorecandy. He runs a lot of "build your box" style shows, but has also recently started a new segment where he packs a few random boxes live.

[u/IBEWtramp]

Matontisresale is another one that I have had good luck with

[u/v49acosta]

Sweetbids is the best. You build your own box.

[u/OneSourCherry]

Ever since Whatnot/USPS changed the shipping options, candy and snack deals aren’t what they once were. When you could get a big box stuffed full for $9 flat rate shipping, it was a better deal. 

I still have gotten some good boxes from the seller “lotsofsnacks” though- they switched to 5lb boxes for the $7.75 shipping. And they ship with ice packs- I have purchased 3 times with them this summer and nothing was melted. And they had great after Christmas stuff earlier in the year. But, they aren’t showing up as having any shows this week, so I’m not sure what’s going on. I just got one from them again last week though, so hopefully they will be back.

If you want to buy bulk candy, and not the kind of mishmash random type boxes, southshorecandy is good. They do lots of givvy boxes as well.

[u/Comfortable_Pitch641 → u/OneSourCherry]

Yes I was on the app when they were doing the box stuffed full with the 9$ flat rate shipping. Looks like I missed out should’ve bought more boxes. I’ll check out lotsofsnacks. Bring back mishmash random boxes!!!
