Try The World

I ordered a 13-15 item box to surprise my husband for his birthday in January, GOOD GRIEF, what I received was just received on March 3, we received only 12 items, 6 of them were just triplicates. Half of them were expired, the rest was all indian snacks and a bag of instant rice.

In my bag, I got 3 big bags of ginger chews, 3 EXPIRED korean chocolate snacks. 2 Slightly different indian snacks, an Indian rice meal?!? And 3 south/central american things.
As a reminder, I ordered the 13-15 box. The box arrived with crumbs, things smashed, 0 care was put into this.

Why even have the facade of pretending like you can select the countries you're interested in? I did not choose India, Asia, or any South/Central American countries.

Customer Service is AWFUL. I asked to not be placed on a subscription and their CSA confirmed, but of course - I'm on a subscription.

Check your bill that you aren't being double charged.

Don't waste your time or money on this trash company.

Nothing

0 Stars! I just received my first box today. I ordered a 6-month subscription. I ordered this for my 9-year-old son who wanted to try snacks for other countries. He opened the box and I couldn't have been more disappointed. The bags of snacks looked old and they were crushed. Everything expires by 2/2025. The snacks are garbage with horrific ingredients. Once of the bags of crushed chips actually had a label that it contained cancer-causing chemicals. I expected to receive a quality box of items for $175.00. I'm pretty sure these are the same items you can buy at Home Goods or Marshalls. Shame on this company! I feel so stupid!

Awful company. Ordered TWO prepaid 3-month subscriptions as gifts. My email was associated with both orders so I could track when each month was sent out. After they took my money, I NEVER RECEIVED A SINGLE EMAIL that anything was ever shipped for the entire length of the subscription. To this day, I have no idea if my recipients actually received their gift (and no, I should not have to ask them, how incredibly tacky). The company wasted zero time RENEWING both orders. And the only way I knew is by seeing the charges from my bank! Not even a confirmation email for continuing a sh*t service that I would never consider using again. (Fine print shows they auto-renew unless you cancel even when you prepaid for a specified amount of time. How scammy.) I have nearly a million followers across my social media accounts. If I don't hear back from this company to remedy their awful business practices, my next step is sharing my experience publicly. We all know how much people love honest reviews.

I signed up for the six month option thinking it was a one-off and would end after six months. I didn't see the small print UNDER the purchase button that said I was agreeing to recurring payments. Plus I signed up with a discount code and was renewed at full price, without receiving any courtesy email that $180 would be coming out of my account. I was able to get a refund, but it was a bit of a challenge, so I highly recommend setting a reminder for yourself to cancel your subscription if you don't want to keep it going by accident. Otherwise, the product was fun enough for the time we had it.

Half the products were expired the other half are manufactured here in the US.
When calling for a refund and to cancel order they told us nothing we can do
Also picked Italy as country as preference, nothing from Italy was in the box.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM COMPANY!

Delayed packages every month, won't cancel your subscription until after it renews and then refuses to refund saying that it has already renewed and there is nothing they can do as they are a subscription based service. Terrible business practice and will not be ordering from them ever again

I purchased this box for my sister's birthday, and she absolutely adored it. I placed an order for two boxes through their website, which was user-friendly and streamlined. Impressively, the delivery arrived a day ahead of her birthday, making the timing impeccable. The box itself, along with the snacks inside, boasted vibrant colors and appealing aesthetics, enhancing the overall experience. We had a delightful time sampling the snacks and engaging in lively comparisons of flavors from different countries.

Its been over a month and not delivery yet! Or either communication to follow up. Disappointed from a consumer perspective, and wondering how the social media comments are restricted to keep the "positive ones" only… I'll continue to wait, and counting more weeks.

I hope the 1st box, corrects and meets expectations… to be continued

Do not even create an account with this company. If you already have, ensure to email them to cancel as soon as possible! I was given a gift card for 3 boxes, and now am being charged to my credit card by them. The products were cheap, shipping was delayed, and my account information was leaked by the website.

Trytheworld.com is a scam. I placed an one-year subscription in Oct 2023 and the first 2 boxes received contained stale and expired products. There is no explanation of what countries the snacks are from. They seem pretty random and look like they've been at the bottom of someone's pantry for decades. I emailed multiple times to the company's customer service department and ZERO communication back. My credit card company, American Express, got a customer service number for me. I called and that number is not in service *******277 (For those who want to keep trying). I learned my very expensive lesson. This is a SCAM. There is another company that does this, trytheworld is capitalizing on that company's model/similar name. BE AWARE!

Arrived late, they sent potato soup mix, chicken flavored ramen, mini container of salt, chocolate covered cherries(milk & dark), chocolate chip shortbread cookies, crème filled wafer cookies, etc. I could have went to the grocery store and got the same stuff a lot cheaper. No one liked any of the products. Also be warned they auto renew even if select a one month trial so Beware and to cancel you must do so by email. Do Not Recommend

Our son gave us a $55 gift box for Christmas. We received cheap candy, an off brand package of ramen noodle, a small bag of chips and a small container of salt. Total cost estimated at maybe $10. Crap! Look somewhere else for a fun gift!

Where to start, first, I purchased a large box at the beginning of the month but found out soon after that it would NOT ship until the following month so I requested to cancel the order. Instead of allowing me to cancel they said that it would be shipped early and guaranteed to arrive by Christmas Day… it did NOT arrive by Christmas Day. When it did arrive it was a disappointment. I purchased the largest box and the box contained everything from duplicate items to things I wouldn't considered very "worldly". The box contained things like raman noodles and chocolate bars, juice etc. 98% of the things in the box I have seen or purchased before from my area's shops and grocery stores. On top of that, one of the packages was open and spilled all over the box during shipping.
I also emailed the company when the box did not arrive on Dec 25th and received no response from them. I will never recommend them or order again. Try a different company!

Their (non) Customer Service number rings once and then goes busy-for days now! They also haven't replied to emails. They sent common (think Walmart) items without the nice display box they advertise. We can't even tell what "country" it is supposed to be from. Years ago we tried this and it was good. Not now!

Terrible customer service and disgusting response. I got this gift for my late grandfather and they auto-renewed the service. I reached out expecting they would make an exception- but NOPE. My grandmother is stuck receiving orders with her late husbands name on them every month until April.

My review contains the same complaints as others here, I had previously subscribed around 5 years ago and it was a very thoughtful box with unique products and had information about the food and country and recipes, even. I've received two boxes this year and they were a strange hodgepodge of items available at any grocery store, from different countries, and with no literature or ideas for how to use products (which I guess I don't need, since I just opened a box with a large squeeze bottle of mayonnaise and a container of lime juice).
Don't waste your money- funnily enough I cancelled my subscription and had it refunded, but they are somehow still sending me boxes. It's become an entertaining moment when they arrive and we get to see what weird things were thrown into a cheap box. But that's only because I'm not paying for them!

I'm a long time subscriber who's fed up with their so-called customer service. During the past few months, my boxes simply have not shipped out unless and until I send a barrage of emails inquiring about the delay. This past month, they claimed that there was a delay that customers were notified about. I never got that alleged email and neither have any of the other subscribers I know. They used to be a fabulous service and the products are mostly good... but something happened along the way where they decided that they can treat their customers like poop since we've already pre-paid. Businesses with poor customer service rarely last... They've certainly lost my business.
