I couldn't find any persimmons or chirimoyas to purchase locally. On a desperate whim and motivated by a deep desire for a persimmons and chirimoyas, I searched the Internets and found Tropical Fruit Box. I was uncertain, maybe even a bit skeptical. The price was a concern as was uncertainty about how well some of the fruits would travel. Freshness and quality were a big concern too. After a few days of hand wringing, I pulled the trigger and bought a large box of persimmons. The order was placed on Wednesday, and the fruit arrived on Saturday. The fruit were huge. The fruit were fresh. And the fruit was high quality. Part of the price likely results from the packaging and shipping required for the fruit to arrive cold, fresh, quickly, and undamaged. In addition to these factors, the customer service was quite impressive. The company actually does honor their quality and freshness guarantee and does so quickly. Not only will I make more purchases--to satisfy my non-local fruit needs, but I told my siblings about the company and recommended the products, based solely on my first experience. If subsequent purchase experiences are different, I will update this review. But, I do not expect that will happen. My sense is that the first experience will be repeated for subsequent purchases. Enjoy!
