Cheapest way to purchase Tangfastics & ship them to NC, USA?
March 6, 2012 5:49 PM
Where can I buy HARIBO Tangfastics online for the cheapest price, keeping in mind that I need them shipped to North Carolina?
I need to buy a pack or multiple packs of HARIBO Tangfastics candy as a gift. I'm looking to have them sent to Raleigh, North Carolina. My SO discovered them in London and is delighted by them. Where is the most financially friendly place to order them & have them shipped to the US?

Sorry not sure what happened to my link

I work (nowhere near you, unfortunately) in an "Old World Shoppe" that does a lot of importing of foreign chocolate/candy/etc. Perhaps a store like that in your area would have some as well?

Here's a 6-pack of the ten pence bags for 14.99, free shipping.

Cost Plus World Market (two stores near you) stocks a lot of Haribo -- I've never seen Tangfastics sold on their own, but they're included with StarMix in the party mix, in those little bags.
(I wouldn't buy that six-pack: each 10p bag weighs 16g when the standard bags are 250g, so you're paying mainly for the plastic.)

No worries, carsonb: inflation has taken a toll on the traditional 10p mix-up.
Tangfastics are about £1 for a 250g bag in the shops, so KateViolet's six-pack works out at about $10 for the sweets, and $22 shipping. As someone who sends and receives sugary stuff across the pond a couple of times a year, that's something you just have to accept: I think the CPWM 250g bags work out at about $3 each, which is only slightly less extortionate.
[A thought: if any UK MeFites are reading this and heading to SXSW this week, bring some over and MeMail soundproof.]

I was going to recommend Southern Season (in Chapel Hill,NC) , too. Call them... they stock a lot of Haribo flavors.

Thanks, all. Went to the local Southern Season and there weren't any Tangfastics. Amazon was the best find, but still expensive. One kind Mefite did message me offering to mail some! I decided to hold off, though. Thanks for all your contributions. I'm highlighting the Amazon answer as the best answer.
