In 2010, I happened upon the LocalHarvest posting for The Orange Shop. Pages were offered with free shipping. I couldn't resist. They took longer than expected to arrive, but when they got here, WOW! They were some of the largest and tastiest I've ever had.
So for 2011 I decided to be a repeat customer hoping that last year's product wasn't a fluke. I was hopeful for a free shipping offer, and when the Page/Navel Black Friday combo deal came up I decided to take it, fearing that it would be my only chance. My order was placed on 11/25 and arrived today, 12/7, in Salt Lake City. Happily the mail carrier rang the doorbell and handed over the box so it didn't freeze on the doorstep. No damage to the box or any fruit. Between the five of us we peeled and ate most of a tray tonight. The Pages were outstanding again.
My only regret is getting the Navels. After my order was placed, they started offering free shipping on Page-only boxes. That's what I really wanted. It's not that the Navels are bad -- they're fine. They just don't blow my socks off like the others. I can get decent Navels at the grocery store for much cheaper. Next year when I decide to splurge, it's gonna be for Pages exclusively. Keep up the free shipping deals! It makes it a little easier to justify this indulgence to the wife. ;-)
