My shipment were very similar to these in the picture.
It had over 90% of 10lbs - damage, rotten, mushed, and smashed. there doesn't seem to be any rigid to support the box from fruit being damage.
We were only able to save some pieces here and there. those that weren't damage were very good. I haven't had fresh Mangostine in a very long time.

I'm sorry that that happened. You can post pictures of the open fruits. What you advise me of the shipment, I tell you that if I send a package to the Fl on Monday in the afternoon, Thursday arrives according to the experience I have had sending packages, they are the same days that it is taken from Friday afternoon to Monday because on Sunday the package follows its destiny. Always all my packages I have covered tape and I had never had problems until now that you tell me what happened with your package.
Yes, I fully understand how long it takes for a package to arrive from PR. The reason I am suggesting to mail only Mon-Wednesday is that if you mail on Thursday it will sit on Sunday, instead of being delivered. Delivery will take 4 days instead of 3 days. Friday can be okay, but sometimes it only takes 2 days from PR and that means the chance it had at delivering on day two is gone because day 2 fell on a Sunday. Just some helpful advice.
The too much tape is definitely an issue. It causes the box to retain moisture. Some of my fruit were moldy because of it and overall everything had a bad odor.
Here are the images:
Very similar to mine which also arrived today, about 2/3rds of them moldy, smashed, rotten... 😭
