How Often are Boxes Sent?

Boxes are sent monthly and feature a different country in each one (and a special holiday edition at the end of the year).

Is Universal Yums Safe?

Safety is Universal Yums top priority! Universal Yums has direct relationships with all the vendors and holds them to high standards to their packaging and food quality.

Universal Yums also sends all food with English translations so you know exactly what ingredients and nutritional information is in each of the snacks. Every snack in my Holiday box came securely sealed and fresh.

Does Universal Yums offer Gift Subscriptions?

After I got my first box I instantly thought this would be a really cool gift to give my nieces and nephews. Universal Yums offers gift subscriptions in a few different lengths:

  • 1 month
  • 3 months
  • 6 months
  • 1 year

All the boxes include free shipping in the US.

Can I Order More Snacks?

If there’s something you really like in the box you can order more through the Universal Yums shop. They also have snacks from other boxes to try!

Is Universal Yum Worth It?

Universal Yums is a super fun snack box that doubles as an educational activity. I love that it has a wide appeal and can be used as an educational (and tasty) tool for kids, as well as it can be a fun adult’s date night in. It’s the perfect indoor family activity and is definitely worth the value.

If you’re looking for something new to do while you’re at home, I highly recommend checking out Universal Yums!
