I've ordered before during my husband's deployments (he thinks mail order produce is a frivolous purchase) and I will be ordering again, regardless :) In light of recent developments regarding commercial orange juice processing, I just can't continue to buy so much of it for my family.
The honeybells weren't as flavorful as in the past, but I'm very happy w/them. I plant a garden each year, and don't always get the same turnout w/the same plants, so variations are to be expected. The Page oranges completely blew me away! My daughter just loves clementines, so this box was a gift for her birthday. I thought the Pages would be a good choice, and they are AMAZING! If it was possible, we would order a bushel a month!!
I ordered on Jan. 13. I then received confirmation of my order, and an estimated shipping time of Jan. 24, I believe. Since her party is the 21st, I wanted to have these here in time, if at all possible. I called the Shop on the 17th, and spoke w/a very kind and helpful employee. She said the order was all set to ship on the 18th. I was thrilled to see the box arrive on the 19th, and so was my daughter!
I expected the 3/8 bushel to be a bit heavier, but completely understand that shipments do vary, and some things are based on weight, while other, trays. I actually looked up the different weights online, and was not misled by the company at all.
I will continue to shop here, and anyone reading this should, too! I'm no expert, but don't find it possible that a better orange can be had! The Pages are heavy, easy to peel, unbelievably full of juice, and so sweet. The honeybells are a lovely change of pace from anything store-bought.
I'd love to try more, and I'm sure I will, but I can't get those Pages off my mind :)
