Can’t really ship well and not common in S. florida, illegal to ship from Hawaii.
You’ll likely need a plane ticket.

They can ship, but have to be picked slightly early (yellow and green) and overnighted. Must be packed well. Have successfully sent them before, expensive.

Flights to hawaii are $99 from sam jose if you book during a good sale. That would be the cost of picked under ripe and arrived overdone mail order Rollinia. I understand the other costs , but it’s a good way to try lots of fruit.
