Its the end of your sales.
Tally your orders and give us a call. We will verbally take your order over the phone.
Afterwards, we will send you a sales confirmation. Do not over look this important step. Please check all quantities and make sure they match up with what we discussed while taking the order. If quantity or other product needs to be corrected, call us. If everything looks correct, respond in kind to the confirmation with yes.

Taking delivery
You will be contacted before the truck leaves our facility.
Most of our trucks are able to deliver starting the next morning. Please be sure to have your team members and other volunteers ready to help unload the truck upon arrival.
All of our trucks will be refrigerated trucks. Drivers of these trucks do not unload. Many though are kind enough to help and guide which pallets to take. All pallets will be clearly marked front and back with your groups name in brite colored pallet tags. While we pride ourselves on making the order counts correct, it is always wise to count on your end before the driver leaves. If there is a shortage, notate it on the bill and someone will contact us quickly so that we may correct it for you.
Upon unloading the truck, it is your responsibility to disperse the fruit as quick as possible. If you must hold fruit overnight, please try to keep it in a cool room or out building no colder than 35 deg and no warmer than 45-50 deg.
