Mixed results

The folks at Hale Groves did a good job communicating when products were shipped to each recipient. On the other hand, I was disappointed in the order process. I calculated what the shipping charge would be based on the formula posted on their order form, but the amount they changed my credit card did not match their form.

Service was great

Service was great; however, one recipient had some rotten or soft fruit. I told them to report to you, so do not know if they did. I had 2 soft oranges, but was able to use most of them.

I find Hale Groves a very good company…

I find Hale Groves a very good company to order fruit through. Prices are decent and orders are sent when says. The fruit is still fresh when they arrive at place sent to.
Which is important to me.
Which is why I continue to use them for my Christmas orders yearly.

Two issues

Two issues. First, the process of changing an order from last year on-line was so difficult I abandoned it and called in the order. Second, one of the orders did not include the requested greeting card. The recipients called us to check it was from us since they had received the same gift last year.

Fresh from Florida

I could order early and pay for it and not have it delivered until Christmas. I like sending items that are from Florida.
I only wish it could have been sent a little later, closer to Christmas. It was sent the 1st week of December.
