Sure, go for a week and easily eat your fill enough to pay for the trip, vs what you pay for 10 marang and a few durian online. Buying these fruits fresh is a gamble , buying online it’s even a bigger gamble. Also if you have a travel rewards credit card that can help pay for your flight too

Fruits look great! I plan to order some in the future. Great prices for some really rare fresh fruits.

One box vs. a (+/-) 1,500 dollar ticket to somewhere like Malaysia, or just travelling anywhere right now to "have your fill" seems an absurd notion to me. As if you could ever have enough of your favorite fruit in a week to last years. Maybe some people have Bezos money and can catch a flight whenever they have a hankering for a snack. I'll stick with the box, but don't let me stand in your runway.

Really can't argue the price since you cant get that selection anywhere unless you're in those countries. I definitely want to try some of that stuff. Probably have to wait until after holidays to spend on some, but great selection.

This is the BUY, SELL & TRADE section. If you bought from this seller and have feedback on their particular service/product or have price/shipping/etc., questions, please comment.
If their price doesn't match your expectation, don't buy it. You can get it cheaper? Sell it.

Greetings, Ulisses Glen Richard was killed yesterday at the Machabuca farm in Las Marias PR. in an incident with his family. And if I'm not mistaken he is the one who made this post.

Jesus- Sounds like a very complicated situation but always sad to see someone so young pass away

Will they get confiscated by customs if sent to Florida? Thinking of having them sent to the neighbors for a Christmas present and also a box for my family. It does seem a little expensive but I'm sure you work your tail off trying to make them the best and in that case would order some to support your cause.

Maybe you should read all the posts before you waste your money. Sucks for the people who put in orders for overpriced fruit and now will get nothing.

Received an email today stating that my online order(placed on their website via debit card) is being refunded to me.

Thats encouraging, hope the same for others

I’m not knocking how you make a living ,I would just rather travel to one of those places I mentioned and eat them till I’ve had my fill. Plus marang and pedalai don’t seem like they would ship well, their shelf life is about a day once it’s ripe, on day 2 it’s over ripe already.

And actually yes I do make those comparisons on cost of living , as you just did yourself.  You just compared the 2 and then said they aren’t comparable lol

Then f'ing go to those countries and buy them. Wtf.... people these days.  ::)
