My family has ordered from Shari's Berries for years with just a couple hiccups here and there. This Christmas, I ordered strawberries to be sent to my parents and brother as a gift. While they were received on time, they were not in any condition to eat. The package was taken in and opened immediately as they are alwaysexcited to receive the berries. The cold pack was warm and the berries were smashed. The minute they told me, I was on the phone. The company refused to send out a replacement. When I asked why, she mumbled something I didn't quite understand. She offered a full refund so I took it but let her know my disappointment in the ruined gift. Later that day, I received an "OOPS" email offering 15% off my next order. That was insulting since anyone can get that deal on the Internet frequently. So I emailed Shari's Berries to let them know how I felt about the transaction (no cussing or rudeness, I promise). I receive a second email with a 25% discount on my next purchase. Since that still didn't fix the bad gift experience, I was very tempted to tell them to stick their "discount off next purchase" so called deal up their booty. Being Christmas, I refrained :) During my transactions my parents sent me strawberries, which were fine and delicious, but they sent a seperate package of cherries to my son. One of the boxes of cherries has some that were smashed! What the heck is going on, Shari'S Berries? I sent a nice package of David & Harry to my family instead.
