If you\u2019ve been browsing Hale Groves catalog<\/a> for food gifts to send by mail this holiday season, you may want to wrap things up earlier this year.<\/p>\n

How Will Shipping Delays Affect Your Hale Groves Order?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The good news is \u2013 our citrus crop is shaping up to be amazing this year! If you\u2019re planning to send fruit baskets<\/a> for holiday gifts<\/a> this year, we\u2019re confident you and your recipients will be delighted with our citrus fruit gifts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But while we can guarantee the quality of your orange gifts<\/a>, our influence over delivery has limits. Our goal always is for your citrus gifts<\/a> to arrive fresh, perfect and on time. To that end, we always leave your gifts of fruit on the tree until they\u2019ve reached their peak of ripeness, waiting to pick them until after you\u2019ve placed your order, then rushing them to your chosen address as swiftly as possible.<\/p>\n

Why You Should Place Your Order Early This Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can you be sure your citrus gifts<\/a> will arrive on time? After all, the holidays are all about celebrating and connecting with those we care about – and after the last couple of years we\u2019ve had, this is more important than ever!<\/p>\n

Here are three tips for making things less stressful for you and ensuring you and your loved ones get the most out of your holiday celebration:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Plan ahead<\/em>. Product demand is expected to be very high this year. Shop now before our best fruit gifts are sold out.<\/li>\n
  2. Order early<\/em>. With the nation\u2019s delivery services anticipating delays this holiday season due to increased volume, we encourage you to order your gifts early so they arrive on time.<\/li>\n
  3. Choose low-volume shipping times<\/em>. When selecting your gift’s arrival time at checkout, choose dates outside high-volume shipping periods wherever possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Early Delivery Won\u2019t Affect the Quality of Your Gift<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you’re concerned that early ordering and delivery will hurt the quality of your gift, please let us reassure you: as stated above, \u201cThe Hale Difference\u201d means we don’t start picking your fruit until you’ve placed your order: whether its oranges<\/a> or apples<\/a>, gifts from us are always as fresh as possible when they arrive. Plus, citrus<\/a> stays fresh in your fridge for weeks, and the easy tips for proper storage that we include with your gift ensure that your fruit will be as perfect on Christmas Day as it was on the day it arrived.<\/p>\n

    Being on your gift list means a lot to us at Hale Groves<\/a>, and we\u2019re committed to delivering your gifts safely and keeping you notified every step of the way. Together, we\u2019ll do everything we can to ensure you and your loved ones\u2019 Christmas is as special and full of cheer as possible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
