The total weight of the box varies depending on the size, shape, and mass of the fruit:
– One Fruit contains 1 piece of fruit (sizing varies).- Small Box contains up to 3-5 pounds.- Large Box contains up to 8-10 pounds.- Extra Large Box contains up to 16-20 pounds.- Bulk Box contains up to 34-40 pounds.We ALWAYS recommend ordering a LARGE BOX for the best value, when compared to a Small Box. Because shipping, handling, and delivery are so expensive per package, the Large Box will contain more fruit and ultimately a better value.
