Worth very penny!
I am currently waiting on my 7th crate and the excitement is still high to see which country is next.
They do not put in various flavors of the same thing, you truly do get an assortment of different things.
The UK box has been my favorite thus far.

+ PROS: They take care to keep the cooldrinks and chocolates cold Great varieties in every box
- CONS: There is no pamphlet describing each snack. When I received my box from Taiwan, I had no idea what anything was or what ingredients it contained.

I received my very first Munch Crate yesterday… what a fun experience! We loved it, the whole family gathered round the table and we tried everything, giving our opinions on each. It was super fun.

+ PROS: Tasting foods from all over the world, delivered straight to your door! It's a lovely interactive experience for the whole family!
- CONS: I think the price point is a little high for us South Africans, I know it's cheaper than other subscription services as it is a South African site, but I just wish if were a little more affordable.

Super Amazing, down to the last detail.
My kids were having a bad day missing their dad, and lo and behold the courier arrived with the parcel which was an instant pick me up!
Even more excited when i opened the box and they saw the treats inside.
So thank you for that. Well impressed!

+ PROS: Lovely secure packaging (loved the added touch if the freezer flex to keep the chocolates firm) Variety of snacks The option of visiting a country without leaving the comfort of your home. The variety of imported goods at a reasonable price
- CONS: Slightly disappointed by the mini packs, but otherwise no cons

Absolutely looooove the idea! It took my order 5 days to arrive! Ordered on the 3rd and received it on the 7th of December 😁😁 thought it would only be here in January!!

+ PROS: Received 11 different items (13 in total) Great variety (sweet - sour - salty) Once opened all items (different colours) looks inviting and interesting! Enjoyed every treat 😋
- CONS: No cons about the box at all but rather the delivery - had a very sweet note for my fiancé as this would be our last date as an unmarried couple but the note was nowhere to be found not even on the delivery slip but now I got to do it face to face which was kind of "nice-er" so nothing major!

Christi (verified owner) – November 3, 2021

Received my first box and I’m so impressed. Was a bit suspicious subscribing but i’m very happy! I played it save by choosing USA for my first box as I am quite familiar with some of the snacks. Looking forward for the next boxes.

Ordering is easy and hassle free & they then notify you when the box is shipped with a tracking number. I received my package sooner than expected. Received an email that the box was shipped late night and received it the next day. Would highly recommend!!!

I’ve never travelled outside of Africa before, so getting my box was such a thrill for me! I couldn’t wait to try out special treats unique to a foreign country! What we got didn’t disappoint! From chocolatey gooey goodness to savoury unique crisps, each item was packed full of flavour and I loved exploring these new tastes and treats. I love the added extra of receiving a little pamphlet with the history of each sweet brand.

Aryan and I got to try the Turkish box this month and we had such a wonderful time exploring all the different tastes and textures of Turkey! I loved that the box had such a variety of sweet treats, which guaranteed that there was something that both Aryan and I could enjoy! I enjoyed the sweet treats, and the sour of course, and Aryan really enjoyed all of the different types of chocolates and cakes that we wont really find in South Africa. All-in-all we had tons of fun, giggles and laughter as our senses got to enjoy the culture and flavours of Turkey! Thank you Much Time Box for bringing the yumminess of the world to us.

Janis Spear (verified owner) – July 11, 2021

Always an interesting assortment of items from across the world. We loved that each month was from a different country, and that it was always a surprise what we would find inside.

I will say that the boxes tended to focus on items not readily available as imports so you don’t just get a bunch of “usual” items that are not from here but still readily available.

Not sure if it is worth doing it more than a few times to get an overview of what is out there.

+ PROS: You get to try items you may have never heard of, or have heard of but cannot get here in SA. You get a bunch of items from a different country that gives you some insight into the culture of the place that is different from what we know. It is interesting to see a snapshot of what sweets are like in a different country.
- CONS: Some countries have really sucky sweets - they don't have the same types of flavours we are accustomed to. Some are even mostly only biscuits or are all the same flavour - for example, the sweet pack from India was all spices and plain biscuits. I don't know that i would have classed them as sweets, but it goes to show perhaps how things are different in other places.

My favourite subscription box I’ve received. Opening the box has become an event for my family which we cannot wait for each month. The process in ordering is super easy and quick! When my package was shipped that same day they notified me of the tracking number for me to locate it. I would definitely recommended it 🙂
