Last year there were a few issues and this year even more. The chiles that arrived were not in very good shape and when I discussed with the company, I did not pay for express shipping even though it was still $22 so I was left with dehydrated chile, wrinkled chile and some chile that had oozed and leaked all over the box. I think at this point, 3rd time ordering was not a charm but the worst of the 3. Pre-ordered only to be told no more 5lb boxes but 4lb, cost of shipping, then the delay due to the issues (understandably) and then the arrival and after all was said and done, and roasted and peeled, I have less than 4lbs of chile. Time to reconsider the options.
