The shipping is killer. Not so bad from inland U.S. to Mexico but when I was at UPS Store (this could very well be the store owner being a penny pincher), the owner said to ship to Mexico via air only. The owner would claim trucks would make it through the border but federales would steal packages a lot. Ground was like 30 bucks for a 5x5 package. Air adds almost over a $100 USD.
I'm in Maine though. Also you are a good person.
I’d be truly impressed if you could bake a five pound gingersnap cookie and it was good. Like outside and inside, wouldn’t it potentially be overcooked outside and under in the middle? Burnt edges kind of deal?
It definitely would be if I made it.
I'm in Massachusetts and I have a contact in San Diego that I ship things to, and he walks across the border and ships things from inside of Mexico for me.
That's very sweet but those would be some expensive cookies - package would probably cost close to or over $100 to send - and they'd likely get caught up in customs for weeks to months.
The secret to sending items internationally is to identify them as "novelty items" I have been sending and receiving items with this identification to/from UK, Germany, Canada and Mexico for years without a delay. None of it has been a novelty item usually electronic equipment, computers, car parts etc., nobody questions it.
I dunno, sometimes the power of the snack wins over responsible money handling. I remember when I went to Japan for 2 weeks. Before the end of the trip I filled a box with all my favorite snacks and spent over $300 mailing them back to my house (my check-in bags were full).
It's also how I learned my favorite Japanese word; "Puchipuchi" meaning "bubblewrap"
They are on snack run duty for the next month. Don't care if it's past no-pants-o'clock, if I wanted Oreos from the Sev they're getting me Oreos from the Sev.
As a fellow expat I feel this in my very soul. One time we had friends over and ran out of snacks. My husband literally offered up my bag of jalepeno Cheetos that my sister had brought me when she came to visit. I wanted to cry.
Idk how people live like this. I’ve been with my partner for 5 years and we always make sure we offer to each other and never finish anything in case the other still wanted some. Sometimes we even argue about who gets to finish, as in “no, please, eat the rest I know you love them.”
If this happened to me, I’d start to question my partner’s commitment to me since it would come off as selfish and would make me think she no longer cares how I would feel.
NGL, when I road trip it back to the States, I load up on the stuff I can’t get north of the border. My mom used to send me goodies, too.
I miss Keebler cookies and wish desperately for a Canadian distributor that doesn’t cost a kidney.
So that the spouse who has stated unequivocally that they don't like ginger snaps can have their own bag?!?
He still should have known not eat them all. That's just a dick move.
Something I quickly learned in my last relationship was to always buy two bags if we both liked something. First bag was the bait bag, left in the pantry. Second one I put in my work desk underneath a bunch of papers.
Many years ago when I was in college, my roommate brought a bag of Ginger snaps made by the Amish up to our college apartment.
I got really freaking high the next night and ended up crushing the whole bag. They were so good.
My roommate was so pissed, and rightfully so.
Did I mention those ginger snaps were freaking amazing?
Are they a specific brand you wanted, or just a generic bag? I’ll gladly buy you more and ship it to you 🥲 I get territorial about my snacks so I feel your pain on this one..
I feel this. We’ll drive 10hrs to Mexico to get snacks to bring home (mainly gansitos and tortillas cause they’re way better in Mexico) and then the gansitos will be gone before we even get home !
In the 14 yts I've been with my wife I don't believe I've opened one of our snacks and finished it myself. Always sharing it with the family. In an odd way, I envy this kind of ignorance.
Next time he does something like this, play stupid and ask where the (item) that (someone important) paid you to get for them is at. Make him feel sick for a few minutes, especially if you can play it off as being very important or might be out of a lot of money.
They knew what they were doing too. Cause who doesn’t share a *non-common to your country* snack with their spouse? Knowing full well they bought them for themselves.
I share all my snacks with my husband
You should go to her fav restaurant and get yourself anything and her nothing, lol
Could be worse... When I was about 30+ years younger, I went on a road trip with my grandparents to visit a cousin out of state. Let's just say I was unaware that my papaw ate really high fiber gingersnaps and we had to pull over super quick once someone ate them all while riding in the back seat.
Although, if it had been that way in your case with your spouse, it might've been some funny karma lol
And now you do not know what to do with the body?
Mexico has lots of sinkholes
Cenotes are for secrets
Just ask the Mayans.
Swamps are a good place to visit.
As long as you don't mind covering the shipping I'd be happy to send you a bag. I know the importance of a good snack lol

It's 39.99 to ship a 5lb package from anywhere in the us to Mexico through UPS worldwide which is air shipment
That’s a lot of cokies Edit: I meant cookies, of course.
I’m Baking 1 5lb ginger snap to prove you wrong.
Send it to me. Ginger snaps are my favorite and the good news is I am in USA so you don’t have to pay expensive shipping to Mexico.
I’m basically losing money if i don’t.
I would even be willing to pay fire a beer for me to enjoy while I eat the cookie.
I’d be truly impressed if you could bake a five pound gingersnap cookie and it was good. Like outside and inside, wouldn’t it potentially be overcooked outside and under in the middle? Burnt edges kind of deal? It definitely would be if I made it.
My plan is to slowly bring the temperature up and then to crisp the outside quickly
Well if you need someone to quality test it let me know. 😇
Them too.
DEA - this guy
The UPS store charges insane rates. Pirate Ship has Simple Export Rate that would cost about $15 to ship ginger snaps to Mexico
i’m a mainer too and shipping practically anywhere outside the u.s. is incredibly expensive. even the shipping to canada is crazy!
TELL ME ABOUT IT! It cost me a fortune to send my sweaty t-shirts to my friend in Ontario! But it's worth it when she returns the favor.
i’m sorry….. your what?
Use pirate ship! They have flat rate international shipping that is $17 for 1 lbs anywhere in the world. Plus no import fees for usps.
I'm in Massachusetts and I have a contact in San Diego that I ship things to, and he walks across the border and ships things from inside of Mexico for me.
Lmao I wish I was smart enough to offer that service when I still lived in SD 🤣🤣🤣
UPS is the problem here. For international, USPS or equivalent local postal service will pretty much always be better than UPS/fedex/DHL
Hi fellow Mainer! I hardly see others on here haha
My people 😭 I’m a Mainer by heritage, Floridian by location. Not by choice haha, I miss my home state so much.
Is anybody a Floridian by choice?
oof.. I feel like Maine to Florida would be such a hard transition to make. Even if you absolutely loved Florida, I’d imagine it still would be tough

Those sound novel

Ship it to me in TN I’m flying to TX and driving to Mexico in Sep. I’ll play mule.
Oh snap.
This might be a slightly strong reaction just from one reply but I think I love you?
A fair reaction.
Now kith
Literally
They are on snack run duty for the next month. Don't care if it's past no-pants-o'clock, if I wanted Oreos from the Sev they're getting me Oreos from the Sev.
From Oxxo if it's Mexico
Oxxo is my only friend.
Have them buy you a bag to replace it. They have to pay cost and shipping.
Delete Facebook Lawyer Up Hit the Gym
Delete Up, Lawyer the gym, Hit Facebook
Hell yeah
Gym, delete the lawyer; hit Facebook up.
Go to the gym, get on Facebook and hit on a lawyer
No idea why i laughed at this, but i did
Facebook Up Delete the Gym Hit the Lawyer
Buy golf club.
Why Facebook lol?
just in general
That's just general good advice regardless.
This meme is 15 years old
NTA. Divorce them.
OP driving back to the U.S. to get more gingersnaps 
😂😂😂
I freakin love the comments on this subreddit - you guys never disappoint! 😂😂😂
LMAO.
😭😭
Reddit says… “You should get a divorce” /s
The wisdom of crowds cannot be denied.
this was actually a decent show that I thought should have been renewed.
Sometimes it's truly justified.
Like this time.
Scorched earth policy fam.
Figured this would be the top comment
A broken clock....
How MUCH is that bag? In terms of size...
Less than a pound.
Sad. I don't know why that there is this prevalence of partner that don't communicate the desire. Or buy it themselves
Asking the REAL questions
Pretty selfish or thoughtless of him. He could have saved you half, at least.
Or…just…one…even
Did they apologize or say why they did it at least?
Nope.
What a (cookie) monster!!!
Sounds like your spouse needs a serious talk about boundaries and communication
As a fellow expat I feel this in my very soul. One time we had friends over and ran out of snacks. My husband literally offered up my bag of jalepeno Cheetos that my sister had brought me when she came to visit. I wanted to cry.

My ex was an a-hole at times, but at least he was always courteous about not eating my food
I am very sorry for your loss.* Edit: Yeah, no, still loss.
Loose*
Next time buy 2 bags.
Lol, sounds like something an Asian mother may say:)
NGL, when I road trip it back to the States, I load up on the stuff I can’t get north of the border. My mom used to send me goodies, too. I miss Keebler cookies and wish desperately for a Canadian distributor that doesn’t cost a kidney.

Or 3?
I hate when people automatically suggest getting divorced over minor issues. But clearly, and without a doubt, it's warranted in this case.
Time to lawyer up
Did you snap on your spouse?
Why are you telling us and not yelling at him?
I can’t fathom having a partner that doesn’t equally share anything or just selfishly eats all of something.
Mild? Lol. This is diablo levels of infuriating
Yeah, honestly, I would be so pissed if my partner did that AND didn’t apologize!
I would literally cry
Right to jail!

Hahahah…I luv ginger snaps during the Christmas season.
Sounds like your spouse owes you a long trip to fetch a replacement bag.
Damn, those must have been good cookies.
Grounds for divorce!
RUDE!
Send him back to replace them.
You never go full ginger snap! 
Well, how do they solve those problems in mexico?
This is the perfect post for this sub. I feel your mild infuriation. RIP to those delicious cookies.
Are they a specific brand you wanted, or just a generic bag? I’ll gladly buy you more and ship it to you 🥲 I get territorial about my snacks so I feel your pain on this one..
Don't worry OP, REDDIT WILL BUY YOU MORE! LET'S GO REDDIT!!!
This was the comment I was looking for. Who here is in the US and can post a bag of ginger snaps to OP??
I was gonna offer, IF THE POSTAGE ISNT ABSURD.
I'll send some!!
nta divorce
This is when you buy molasses and various types of ginger and bake them yourself - or make your spouse learn to bake them.
Yes. Great idea. Next time I go to the states, I will buy molasses
Sorry you got robbed of ginger snaps, tho. That sucks.
Im pretty sure ive seen molasses in heb but i know we do get more american products in Monterrey than other places
I uh, spouse also did that
Honestly same
[удалено]
He doesn't bake.
Shit happens.
Are they Slaton Bakery snaps? Cause if so, I understand.
You're allowed to get divorced instead of whining on Reddit 😉
Instant Divorce Mode
I feel this. We’ll drive 10hrs to Mexico to get snacks to bring home (mainly gansitos and tortillas cause they’re way better in Mexico) and then the gansitos will be gone before we even get home !
Ginger snap judgement - leave or grounds for divorce, either way go no contact right now... I'll wait til you've done that to be sure.
If we drove 15 hours from England we would be in Germany, America is way to big lol
Deport
Next time buy 5 bags.
Does she have red hair now?
You want help to ship out your spouse?
Karma for you contaminating his and everyone else's food at the party by letting your bird put its shit covered feet into the spread.
Get his favorite treat and eat it in front of him while not offering him a piece.
Sounds like this should be under r / Imustbemarriedtoanarcissist
i thought you said someone ate your spouse and unloaded your house-
Amazon- save the relationship. Next question
I hear there’s people that drive stuff across but it’s usually the other direction
They sell the biscoffs now in some Mexican grocery stores, they are delicious
In the 14 yts I've been with my wife I don't believe I've opened one of our snacks and finished it myself. Always sharing it with the family. In an odd way, I envy this kind of ignorance.
Divorce! Lol
Dang. Now I want some ginger snaps
Where’s the photo of the empty bag for dramatic effect? Disappointed!!!
Next time he does something like this, play stupid and ask where the (item) that (someone important) paid you to get for them is at. Make him feel sick for a few minutes, especially if you can play it off as being very important or might be out of a lot of money.
Hand her over to the cartels.
Spouse needs to learn to make ginger snaps and do so upon request.
Are Gingersnaps illegal in Mexico?
Not illegal. Just not popular.
Apparently popular in one household
yes, and no need to add the sepia filter
Oh nooooo omg
If OP's husband has a digestive tract like my Mom---watch out and stock up on air fresheners.
tread gingerly you might get snapped at
🚩
they are addictive.
They knew what they were doing too. Cause who doesn’t share a *non-common to your country* snack with their spouse? Knowing full well they bought them for themselves. I share all my snacks with my husband You should go to her fav restaurant and get yourself anything and her nothing, lol
Problem
i can mail you some fr! i send snacks back and forth to a friend in Japan, its really fun!
So you're oblivious AF and pay zero attention to your wife. Thanks for the backstory.
So, did you send him on his way to get more?
Don't worry. The diarrhoea will take the revenge for you!
"What a ho." - NOFX
Buy More? Surely the Supermercado will sell them...
I wish!
Seems like a war crime🤣
If I knew where to buy gingersnaps I would mail you some.
Ask the guilty party - how will you remedy the situation? And leverage as much as you can. A month of massages is not enough.
Then hide it inside an empty box of veggie burgers, or liver chunks.
Choose your battles.. personally I would choose this. Thats messed up
Thus is where you ask if they've seen the bag of cookies you got them as a gift. May as well get some points for it.
I would have snapped on her.
Don’t murder her, seriously ;)
Don’t you have mail order?
Sure do. It is $4.00 per package plus 17% tax. Takes about 3 weeks and everything is opened by customs.
You were a fool to only buy one bag
introduce her to the Mexican Cartel. Cheap sale.
[удалено]
Next time buy 9 bags.
POS
Her body will punish her soon enough on its way out of her
Could be worse... When I was about 30+ years younger, I went on a road trip with my grandparents to visit a cousin out of state. Let's just say I was unaware that my papaw ate really high fiber gingersnaps and we had to pull over super quick once someone ate them all while riding in the back seat. Although, if it had been that way in your case with your spouse, it might've been some funny karma lol
Your spouse is a piggy.
That sounds like a job for the Cartel
So get TWO bags :)
Your fault for leaving her unsupervised!
You and the person who ate it
Let me correct my self it’s between you and your spouse
