Obviously it is organic produce, so it is going to be a bit more expensive than your regular food. It seems very friendly and personal, and my list of food included in the box was even hand signed by the packer!<\/p>\n<p>Regular Fruit Box &#8211; this was $55.45 including delivery ($8.95).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10x apples<\/li>\n<li>3x oranges<\/li>\n<li>4x pears<\/li>\n<li>11x bananas<\/li>\n<li>4x\u00a0nashi pears<\/li>\n<li>10x plums<\/li>\n<li>1x rockmelon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My delivery day was Monday\u00a0afternoon, and it was placed just inside my doorstep.<\/p>\n<p>The good: The\u00a0bananas came in two bunches &#8211; one ripe and the other just a little green. Perfect! The nashi pears were also amazing (I rediscovered that I like them&#8230; A lot). Everything else was good.<\/p>\n<p>The bad: The apples were hit and miss, but not as bad as Aussie Farmer Direct &#8211; only a minor complaint. I actually cut the rockmelon before it was ripe (a week after it arrived), so the fact that it wasn&#8217;t ripe is probably my fault. It did seem like it wasn&#8217;t going to get riper though.<\/p>\n<p>The ugly:\u00a0I ran out of fruit too quickly! I made my next delivery (for the next company) for the following Wednesday, and this box didn&#8217;t quite get me there.<\/p>\n<p>The final verdict: I loved what was in this box. All of the fruit was delicious and perfect for eating almost the minute I came home (believe me, I tucked right into those pears). The complaint here is the price! Ouch, double what I paid for the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/?p=461\">Aussie Farmers Direct<\/a>\u00a0box. But the price was well worth it. I&#8217;d like to hope I can find a cheaper box with similar quality, so I&#8217;ll just keep looking for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my second fruit box review!
