FAQs: Ordering Arizona Citrus

It is difficult to give an exact number because the fruit size varies from year to year.  However, as a gauge you should expect roughly 25 oranges in a 20 lb box.  This is NOT a guarantee of 25 oranges in a 20 lb box — it is just an estimate!  However, because lemons and tangelos are smaller, you will get a larger quantity of fruit (but the same net weight). Conversely, when it comes to grapefruits you will likely get less than 20 grapefruits because they are generally larger in size.

Yes!  However, our system cannot calculate proper shipping rates unless you enter a separate order for each address.  In other words, there is no way to place a single order and ship fruit to multiple addresses.

The answer depends on the fruit and time of year.  It is best to give us a week or two in advance to make sure your order arrives on time (if fruit is in season).  The timeline for fresh fruit is out of our hands and we will not sacrifice quality to meet a deadline.  That isn’t to say that we won’t do our best to make things work for you — we just need to make sure all citrus shipped is of the utmost quality.

Shipping times depend on what you order.  Most importantly, we cannot ship fruit until Mother Nature provides the weather to ripen the fruit to a suitable level.  Orders containing fresh citrus will be shipped out once the fruit is deemed ready to ship. To ensure that only the freshest citrus is shipped, we ship shortly after the fruit is picked.  We ship all orders with fresh citrus on Mondays and Tuesdays and you will receive an email with a tracking number once it leaves our facility.

Any orders not containing fresh citrus will usually ship by the next business day. Some large orders may take additional processing time so if there is a date you need an order by, please feel free to call or email us for more specific processing times.

This will depend on the shipping speed you selected as well as the ship date (see above). All orders are shipped from Arizona and will take 1-7 days from the ship date to arrive depending on the location it is being shipped to.

The majority of fresh citrus orders are shipped through FedEx, but will occasionally be delivered by USPS.

Although it is possible to ship to a PO Box, we do not recommend it for fresh citrus. Due to holidays and the need to interact with USPS to receive your package, it may sit longer than you’d like and result in less than fresh citrus. Please use a home or business address for shipments.

We will ship to an APO/FPO address; however we recommend only sending dry goods to those destinations. The time it takes to receive these items can vary anywhere between 1 week and 45 days.

We can ship items to Alaska and Hawaii but please be aware that it can take slightly longer to receive items in these locations. Shipping rates are often high, too.

Sometimes, fresh citrus can’t handle the freezing temperatures in transit or at the delivery location. We now offer Freeze insurance for FREE on ALL orders.  If your fruit is damaged, ruined, or frozen please contact us.

You can send us an email at [email protected]  Or call or text us at 480-274-7915.

We are available via phone most business days, but email and text messaging is a great way to contact us any time.

We do not have a physical store. We pick up from our local grower and ship out orders the same day to ensure that our customers receive the very freshest citrus.
