question about shipping

[Guest guest]

Louise, Shari gave a definitive answer on shipping by air on my

forum, Raw Food Lifestyle http://snipurl.com/sf3a. As for having

fruit delivered by truck in the summer months in the south, I've had

no problem as long as it was delivered timely. The only incident that

I had was when a couple of boxes got buried in the mail at the post

office and stayed there from Thursday until up in the following week.

I was calling whenever the post office was open but failed to let

them know that I had a tracking number (a big no-no). When I gave

them that, they were able to look it up and realize that yes, they

had them. The vendor made it good even though he wasn't the one at

fault. I'd ordered from http://www.cherimoya.com. Vendors depend on

repeat business for their livelihood so they are going to do

everything possible to make sure their produce gets to its

destination in the best condition.
