This is a very tasty, juicy pear. This fruit could have ended the War of the Five Kings. If Renly had offered Stannis one of these delicious Royal Riviera Pears, I'm sure he would have accepted, and they could have joined their forces to take back the Throne. Instead, Renly offered a peach, and it vexed Stannis so.

So buy this box! The best in the realm! Fit for a King!

I was very disappointed in this Merry Mix Up purchase. The pears were very green and not ripe, they were from Chile, and were very hard with no juice and no flavor. I called customer service and was told a replacement would be sent in five days. In the meantime, the first carton ripened enough to eat, they were juicy but were slack in taste. The second order came in five days, were not ripe, brown and very hard and were from New Zealand. They did not look anything like the picture. I'm waiting to see if they will ripen enough to eat and if they are juicy with a good flavor. I have never ordered fruit unseen before and I never will again.

                  I was waiting till they felt a bit soft & ripe. They still felt firm after a few days, and I am glad I went ahead and ate one. It was perfectly ripe, soft, and very juicy! Glad I didn't wait much longer.

                      Lin, FedEx is the primary carrier for most of our shipments, although the US Postal Service will make the final delivery under certain circumstances. UPS might serve as the carrier for some items that ship directly from our suppliers. Our system automatically selects the delivery service that is best for the zip code provided to ensure quickest, most cost effective service.

                      LeeAnna, our Merry Mix-Up Gift Box includes 2 lbs 13 oz of pears. As pear sizes vary, we must include more or sometimes less pears to make that weight. We are sorry for any confusion and disappointment this may have caused. We have emailed you directly to make amends for any inconvenience.

                      Local Harry & David Outlets should certainly have our pears, nuts and cheese, however they may not have this specific Merry Mix-Up Box at this price. You may wish to give them a call to see if they have this gift in their current inventory. Alternatively, you can have a custom basket or box made with items of your choosing, to resemble the Merry Mix-Up.

                      As FedEx Surface shipments are a 5-business day service, we suggest placing your order by May 3rd, the Friday before Mother's Day. This will ensure the gift will arrive by May 10th (Friday).

                      It is extremely rare for our Royal Riviera Pears to arrive in anything other than perfect condition, a sweet, juicy delight for anyone who receives them. We ship most of our gifts in climate-controlled trucks for the first part of their journey to keep them fresh.
