My first was on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/?p=461\">Aussie Farmers Direct<\/a>, and I was really disappointed. My second was on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/?p=468\">Organic Angels<\/a>, which had great produce but was pretty expensive. My third was on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/?p=470\">Ceres Fair Food<\/a>, which had great variety in its produce. Fourth was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/?p=475\">from the earth fruitnveg<\/a>, who had great variety and great customer service. Fifth was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/?p=480\">The Organic Empire<\/a>, which was completely boring. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/?p=485\">Greenline Organic<\/a> was equal to all of the other options, with great variety and good produce. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/?p=493\">The Organic Butler<\/a> wanted to be fancy, but failed for providing quality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernfreshngreen.com.au\/\">Western Fresh n Green<\/a> was a new one I found&#8230; and it turned out to be the same as from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/?p=475\">the earth fruitnveg<\/a>. Western Fresh n Green just uses Michael to deliver it to the Eastern side. I&#8217;m not surprised &#8211; I checked out the box online before ordering, and loved the variety I would be getting. I&#8217;m happy about getting a box again that I trust to be good, even if it briefly upsets my aim of testing all of the delivery services available.<\/p>\n<p>Small Fruit Box &#8211; $24.99 + delivery charge ($5)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>6x apples<\/li>\n<li>1x\u00a0red grapes<\/li>\n<li>2x nashi pears<\/li>\n<li>3x kiwi fruit<\/li>\n<li>6x bananas<\/li>\n<li>3x\u00a0oranges<\/li>\n<li>1x avocado<\/li>\n<li>3x mandarines<\/li>\n<li>1x rockmelon<\/li>\n<li>1x ruby red grapefruit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It had a range of days that you could have your produce delivered listed online, but as it was Michael again, it was actually a Wednesday delivery. I was hanging out for this box after my severe disappointment by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abyteofcommonsense.com\/?p=493\">The Organic Butler<\/a>. Low and behold, this box had wonderful variety and a range of things for me to eat straight away.<\/p>\n<p>The good: The bananas came in a range of ripeness. The grapefruit was a welcome surprise, I forgot how much I enjoy them. Grapes were amazing. Everything here was great.<\/p>\n<p>The bad: The nashi pears were wrapped in polystyrene protections. I don&#8217;t like that sort of disposable stuff, and if anything, I think the avocado needed the protection more than the nashi pears!<\/p>\n<p>The ugly: Um, no ugly here? Except for the rockmelon once again going off, which was entirely my fault. No more rockmelon buying for me.<\/p>\n<p>The final verdict: I&#8217;m still loving this box. Only 3 more boxes to try before I can come back to it! I haven&#8217;t yet decided if I should also trial the home delivery services of Coles and Safeway&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my fourth\/eighth fruit box review!
