Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between one fruit and the other?

The best way to fine out is to look at our Fruit Definitions

How long will it take my fruit to arrive?

All orders are processed the same day they are received. After the holiday season the frequency of our shipments are limited by U.S. Postal deliveries to certain regional locations. We cannot meet deliveries with dates less than fourteen days from the order date. This is the most cost effective value to weight shipping proposition we can offer at no extra charge. We deliver your fruit when you want it to arrive. All orders are packed in crush proof boxes, shipped via truck (protected from the heat and cold) to a local post office in the city where your fruit is to be delivered. Once shipped (not ordered) delivery averages four days. If expedited service is required (for an extra charge) please call us directly for processing. We are shipping orders 7 days a week during the holiday season.

How much does it cost to deliver my fruit?

Price includes shipping and handling fees via U.S. Postal Service in the U.S.A., (exceptions listed below). If expedited service is requested the prevailing fee for FEDEX 2nd Day or Priority Overnight will apply as extra shipping and handling charges.

How much fruit should I order?

Here's a helpful guide for:
1 person............................1/5 to 1/2 Bushel
2 to 3 persons....................2/5 to 3/4 Bushel
4 to 6 persons....................3/4 to 1 Bushel
6 to 8 persons....................1 to 1 1/2 Bushel

How much fruit is in each box?

We pack our fruit by volume, but Mother Nature varies her sizes of fruit, so each box is filled with as much as it will hold. Weight and quantity change by variety. For an example, a 1/2 Bushel box of mixed fruit has approximately 25-30 pieces of fruit and weighs 22 pounds.

How do I send fruit to Canada?

We specialize in sending Florida Fruit citrus to Canada. We ship weekly to the following provinces from November to March and biweekly April through May: Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Foundland and Prince Edward Island. All Canadian orders are payable in U.S. dollars.
