SUNCOAST GREAT RIVER GROVES SOLD WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FLORIDA FRUIT BUT WHEN ARRIVED HAD CALIFORNIA STICKERS Internet

Purchased a case  of honey bell oranges from this company's website which displayed large luscious looking oranges and the words clearly shown that stated this was Florida fruit.  When I received found moldy, half-ripe, dried out, rotten oranges some had California stickers.  This company brags about being located right in the groves in Florida where they pick and ship the fruit right away to their customers.  Sticker says, "California Minneola #4383".  The stickers are like the one's you commonly see in the supermarket these days on fruit.  This seller is clearly defrauding the public by selling old nasty fruit from who knows wherefrom (including California).  Please avoid this company like a plague.  They have never offered to refund, just to send me some more fruit.  I don't know if I want anymore from them.  The mold was green and powdery and when touched fell off all over the other oranges in the box.  Now I don't know about you but I don't think the consumption of mold which is inevitable unless you individually wash each piece in soap and water, is just plain wrong!!


I paid $85 for this box of fruit and feel extremely ripped-off.  This company has promised the new box will be excellent.  I'll write back when received to let everyone know what happened.  I told them I'd rather have a refund but to no avail. 


Just beware of this company if you want Florida oranges.  There are many other vendors of Florida oranges out there to choose from.  Don't make the same mistake I did.

More bad oranges from Suncoast

I received another case of oranges from this company, but they were as bad or maybe worse than the first.  Even though I asked for a refund rather than a replacement they insisted on my giving them another chance.  I have photo's of this batch as well.  Oranges broken wide open, frozen and popped apart.  More mold present, dried out inside (I opened several to look at them) in this batch as well.  Still no reply about a refund from this outfit. 

 

Don't waste your time with this company.
