The shipping was fine. The price for the peaches was high considering that peaches were not sweet tasting and had five that were bruised that I ended up getting rid of them

The items I ordered for Easter gifts were out of stock after I had ordered them. The company offered me a subsitute that was slightly more expensive at the same price I paid for the original items. I agreed to the substitution; however they did not tell me that my order would not arrive in time for Easter, and were in fact a week late.

Every time I enjoy your beautifully packaged fruit, it feels like a blessing from my home state of Maine, giving me some sweet relief during the winter months.

Thank you so much for your kind words we love hearing that our fruit is bringing a little sunshine to your winter! While we're rooted in the heart of Florida's citrus country, we're so glad the flavors and care we put into every box travel all the way to Maine. We hope to keep brightening those cold months for you for years to come.

Most of the tangerines were dry and had no juice. One orange was covered with mold and had to be thrown away, Does this affect all items in that tray?red with mold and were thrown away.

Order from May 13
The product as received was greatly appreciated. The challenge for me was timing of the arrival of the baskets--both baskets were exactly the same and going as 'sunshine baskets' to sisters who had just lost their mother. One sister received hers 10 days ahead of the other one; it was received a week ahead of the window provided by Hale Groves, while the other sister got hers within the expected time frame. I don't know how this could have been done any differently as the sisters live in GA/VA and GA was much closer for shipping. In the end, both of them were grateful for the basket and were well pleased with the product.

The package arrived with two spoiled pieces of fruit. The customer service was excellent, quickly explained my options and issued a refund. The rest of the fruit was fine and tasted great. Appreciate the prompt turnaround on my issue, outstanding customer support. I will be ordering my citrus from Hale Groves in the future.

We're sorry two pieces arrived spoiled that's never the experience we want but we're really pleased to hear the rest of the fruit was delicious and that you felt well taken care of. We look forward to your next order!
Ordered oranges as a gift, they were in transit for over a week and arrived moldy. When I complained, the company wanted the gift recipient to submit pictures before they would do anything. Some gift - here's some moldy oranges and a big hassle.

Easy to order on line. I liked that I got free shipping. My aunt who is 98 years old always loves when I send her fruit from Hale. This last time, she received peaches from me last week and she said they were delicious!!
Reply from Hale Groves2026-06-01
What a wonderful gift to give your aunt! We're so glad the peaches arrived fresh and delicious, and that she enjoyed them. Thank you for continuing to choose Hale Groves to send something special her way. We hope to be part of many more of those moments!
The ordering and shipping process was great and the peaches arrived within two days after I received confirmation they were sent.
Reply from Hale Groves2026-06-01
Thank you so much for sharing that! We're glad the peaches made it to you quickly and that the whole process felt smooth from start to finish. We hope you enjoy every bite!
My order was delivered quicker than I expected and the quality was excellent. My mother was very pleased with everything from Hale Grove. I will continue to be a customer and recommend Hale Grove to others.

Your product is great
Your product is great
Your use of fed ex is pathetic
I live on a hill in a rural area—dirt road—fed ex drivers are always rude—inconsiderate—fly up the hill —dust and rocks going everywhere—product left out by a nearby garage!
UPS on the other hand —curtesy is pre-eminent—product is ALWAYS left on front porch by front door—never have to duck for cover (like I did today) when they deliver product!!!
MY NEW POLICY IS—-ONLY BUY PRODUCT FROM THOSE COMPANIES THAT USE UPS!!
I apparently need to search for a new company for my oranges and grapefruit.
Sorry—I did like your product—just not your delivery company!!
Thank you for your consideration
