A: When placing your order with Quail Valley Farms, a preliminary delivery date will be established. Once your order is assigned to a truck and loaded, a more specific delivery time will be provided. The truck driver’s phone number will also be given to you. Assemble your unloading team after confirming delivery time with the truck driver.

A: The fruit is packed in corrugate boxes and shipped on pallets in a refrigerated truck.

A: Your organization is responsible for unloading the truck. Upon arrival, volunteers from your team will need to be ready to unload your order. The number of volunteers required depends on the size of your order. If you have a loading dock and fork lift or pallet jack, the task is much easier. Many of the trucks our main carrier owns have electric lifts on the back of the truck so only a pallet jack is needed. We will discuss the situation with you prior to shipping. Be very organized when unloading the truck and distributing the fruit. First, unload the truck and verify the count, then have the team leader sign the bill of lading before allowing any of your team to take product for delivery. Verify the distribution of product to each team member for delivery. If someone is absent, then a substitute will need to deliver their orders.

A: All the fruit has been harvested and stored at ideal temperatures. The length of shelf-life depends on how close you can store the fruit at the ideal temperature, as well as maintaining good clean air circulation.

ALWAYS PROTECT THE PRODUCT FROM FREEZING TEMPERATURES WHEN UNLOADING, STORING AND TRANSPORTING THE FRUIT BOXES.

A: Quail Valley Farms provides extra gratis fruit with your order to cover any spoiled fruit issues. Remember, it is best to open each box before delivery to confirm that every piece of fruit looks good. 

A: Payment is due at the time of delivery unless other arrangements have been made. We will accept a cashier’s check or a check from your organization. Please verify your counts and fruit quality prior to payment. Please put payment in the mail within 24 hours of fruit receipt. 

A: The fundraising leader will be contacted to discuss options.
