I ordered mine BEFORE my sister and she already got hers, I don't think mine have even been shipped yet. Why?

A note on shipping -- we ship our fruit in a special way. We are members of the Florida Gift Fruit Shippers Association, which is a cooperative owned by the individual gift fruit companies. On certain days, we all pack packages going to certain zip codes, transport the packages to our terminal in Orlando where we then load insulated trucks headed to the different destinations within that area. There's basically four different groups of zip codes, plus Canada. The intention is to get the fruit to you faster, and to protect it from freezing. We drop the fruit off at the Post Office, which makes the final delivery. So, it's not unusual for the packages in a single order to arrive on different days, while the outcome is that we can ship perishable fruit into the teeth of cold winter temperatures with a high rate of success. This method is unique in the shipping industry, and predates Fedex and UPS by about 30 years. The Orange Shop
