Snacktime Express, located near Houston, Texas, has become a favorite choice among popcorn clubs. With a dedication to quality, this small business uses premium corn sourced from the USA, 100% coconut oil, and delectable flavor infusions to create their crowd-pleasing popcorn. Their commitment to excellence is evident in their full-time nutritionist and proprietary gourmet popcorn recipes, ensuring fresh and delightful products that guarantee customer satisfaction.

Lots and lots of popcorn

There are a ton of ways you can make this club be exactly what you want, and we're here for it. First, you need to decide how much popcorn you'll get in each delivery. Do you want one bag, three bags, or four bags? And do you want each bag to contain five cups of popcorn or eight? If you choose five cups, your price will be $9.99, $23,99, or $24.99, depending on whether you want the 1-bag, 3-bag, or 4-bag membership. Jumping up to the 8-cup size, you'll pay $12.99, $26, or $30.99 per month - again, based on how many bags are in your delivery. Plus, shipping is included on every popcorn club option here, so what you see is what you'll pay.

So many flavors on offer

Next comes your flavor selection. If you want every delivery to be a surprise and you don't mind the possibility of getting a flavor you don't like, choose "surprise me” as the flavor category. Otherwise, you'll indicate your preference for Caramel, Cheese, Gluten-Free, Savory, or Sweet varieties, and then from there you'll choose the specific flavors you'd like in your first box.

Delicious flavor examples

For example, in the Caramel category, options include Austin Mix (Caramel-Cheese-Butter), Texas 2-Step (Caramel-Cheese), Classic, Sea Salt, and Pecan. The Savory category is too long to list here, with over two dozen flavors to choose from - but the ones that we'd be in a hurry to try are Fuego (spicy popcorn with lime) and Loaded Baked Potato. Got a sweet tooth and want to venture beyond traditional caramel? How about Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Ripe Banana? You'll soon see why many people go right for the 3- or 4-bag popcorn club here, just to be able to try more flavors at once.

You're not locked into a contract

No matter which configuration you put together, you're never locked into a long-term commitment with Snacktime Express. Your deliveries will just keep coming from month to month until you cancel. And, you can modify your popcorn club anytime: change the flavor preference, number of bags, whatever you like. The only downside is that you don't get a refund if you wind up with a flavor that's not a favorite - because you literally picked it yourself. But, you can contact Snacktime Express and let them know it's not your cup of tea, and they'll put it on your "blacklist” (particularly helpful if you've chosen the "surprise” package).

Advantages for club members

A big reason to become a subscriber here, and not just buy your popcorn a la carte, is the member perks. Not only will you save money (about $1 per bag, plus free shipping), but you'll also get first access to seasonal, exclusive, and experimental (ooh!) flavors, giving them your feedback before they take new varieties to the general public. Fun!

7-day refund window

Snacktime Express could be a little more reassuring when it comes to customer satisfaction, though. Their refund policy lasts seven days from your date of purchase, so you'd have to try your popcorn pretty quickly if you wanted to try and get a refund for some reason. But, we figure that it should be pretty obvious if something has arrived melted or in bad condition for some other reason.

Plenty of happy customers

But, we have zero concerns about the quality of this gourmet popcorn, now that we have found tons of customer feedback. While reviews for the subscription are still pretty hard to find, we found nearly 700 ratings for the popcorn itself - averaging a perfect 5/5 stars. Shoppers praise the customer service overall, the vibrant flavors, and the top-notch texture of the popcorn no matter which flavor they choose. One customer mentioned that they bought 25 sets for a company gift and it was a huge hit.

Inquire if you need specific gift options

Speaking of gifting, Snacktime Express doesn't offer a lot in that regard. When you check the box by "Is this a gift?”, you're given the opportunity to enter a message for the recipient, but that's about it. There's no newsletter, no "ship this on a certain date” option, you get the idea. However, with this being a small business, we'd bet that if you reached out at the time of your order and asked for what you need (like having it start on a certain date for a special occasion), you'd get a friendly response from Snacktime Express' customer service team.

New and improved

We're really excited to move Snacktime Express' popcorn club way up in our rankings. We love the idea of getting a new gourmet flavor every month for under $10 and being able to have as much or as little control over the selection as we wish. Plus, the hundreds of ratings from delighted customers go a long way towards proving that this is a popcorn club that competes with some of the bigger, more established names in the industry. We absolutely recommend taking a look at Snacktime Express when you're choosing a popcorn club.
