“Very happy”

A gift came to us and a pear was frozen I'm sure due to the UPS truck. I called them & they are sending out a replacement pears. Other than that I can't say enough about how delicious the dessert was. I've have lot of dense chocolate cakes but this small dense cake was out of this world delicious. I'm now trying to see if I can buy just the cake. Great company. Roberta from Ct.

“Not as pictured on their website”

I ordered their Happy Valentine's Day Sweets Gift Box for $140 plus shipping. Their website made it look very nice, professionally arranged, etc. It arrived with all the individual items jumbled in one big pile in the box. Very unromantic, thoughtless and scattered. Value of the contents was probably about $40. Arrangement and presentation was absolutely worthless. And, they included some big coupons in the box for the next time someone loses their mind and orders from them. Rip off, unprofessional company.

Our gift my daughter and her husband ordered was going to be late arriving and would not make it by Christmas. Harry & David sent us cookies and pears so we would have something by Christmas, I don't know of any other company that would have done that, great customer service. I will use the from now on.
Thanks again, Mom and Dad Oldham.

We purchased the chicken pot pie dinner from Harry & David as a sympathy gift. I just heard back and was told the meal and wine were absolutely delicious. Makes me so happy to bring a little joy to a grieving family. I highly recommend this meal along with the Chardonnay. I dont have photos as I live in a different state as the recipient.

The fruit was firm and ripe. Each package of food stuff was more then I anticipated with much better quality then I have gotten from any other gift basket. When The box came we expected 80% packing material. It was almost solid ridiculously yummy and decadent treats! I cannot wait for my next good excuse to order again! Milk Chocolate Moose Munch is scarey good and package was big enough to share with my family of 5!

Tip for consumers:
I am not sure. I do know we were all delighted with the boxs

Harry and David pears are delicious. Some have been on the small side but still my favorite fruit of the holiday season. Stay away from the baskets with cookies. The one we received had all different kinds of Christmas cookies along with the pears. All of the cookies were "hard tack" stale. They were pretty bad. Just stick with the fruit.

David and Harry is fantastic. Not many companies have the personal touch with dealing with their customers. Many companies have automated service but Harry and David offer customer service and you get to talk to a live person. It was great and Grace was fantastic. She was able to get answers to my questions. Thank you. I will never order from another site. No one can compete with Harry and David's products or service.

I ordered a box of pears from Harry & David to be sent to my mother for her birthday. The box when received contained a note regarding this year's drought. The fruit were smaller than usual and blemished with black spots, still delicious though. My mother messaged me a thank you and included the condition of the fruit, the note about the drought and hopefully I got a discount. I reached out to Harry and David by email just to let them know about the situation. I even sent them my mother's message to me and advised them that it would have been nice to know of the drought situation during the time of the order. Not only did I receive an apology but a full refund including the additional rush shipping charge and 20% off my next order. Harry & David will always be my go to company for any mail order fruit or gift ideas. Thank you Harry & David!

I received a Harry and David gift box of mixed items that included pears. Usually their pears are wonderful however this time the pears did not ripen. I called customer service and they sent another box of pears. Again, these did not ripen after 2 weeks. I called again, mainly to let them know of the problem with their pears. I didn't ask for anything, but their customer service rep is now going to send us cherries! Customer service does not get any better than this!

We had guests for Thanksgiving dinner and I was very late to order turkeys! Thank God for Harry and David! I ordered a couple of turkeys from them and was hoping that they would not be disappointing! To my great surprise, they were MUCH better than I expected. Not only that the turkeys arrived on time, they were easy to warm up, and they were moist, tender, and really delicious! What a treat and a face saver!

Harry & David deserves a great review. I've been ordering from them for a couple a years & I have not been disappointed. My friends live out of state, and the make gift giving easier. I just ordered a holiday gift which they received in less than a week & they love it! It was an adorable holiday personalized gnome cookie jar with their family members names on it-so cute! I think the shipping cost was worth it since I didn't have to do it. In addition, whenever anyone sends me a gift from Harry & Davids- its always very good.

Tip for consumers:
shipping is $$ so I recommend the deal they offer for people who use them frequently.

I ordered a Birthday Gift Tower for my sister's 85th birthday. The package was delivered a day earlier than expected. Everything was fine, except for the box of pears. The pears were frozen solid due to traveling in sub-zero temperatures during New England's polar freeze at the beginning of February, 2023. The first photo posted is of the pears' appearance on arrival. The second photo is a cut pear a day later.

I contacted customer service and was told they would immediately send a replacement box. Instead of five pears, my sister just received a box with a dozen beautiful pears (the third photo). She is very pleased.
Thank you Harry and David!

I ordered for the first time a gift for my father's birthday and Father's Day. I got the Raspberry Cheesecake and the Heritage Chocolate Assortment.
My dad said the Raspberry Cheesecake was not worth buying due to the crust being so think and not much for the thickness of the cheese also the flavor was just so so, he also said the my brother also had a slice of the cheesecake and was not happy with it. The Heritage Chocolate was well worth buying. I did call Harry and David and they were very apologetic and gave me the choice to have the money back on the cheesecake or replace it with something else of same value. I asked them to please send him another box of the Heritage Chocolates. They did at not charge shipping cost and he got it the very next day. I am pleased with their customer service… I am giving full stars due to the good customer service.

I emailed customer service to ask about the ingredients of their Truffles so I could make sure a family member could eat them (two allergies) and they emailed me back that day. I ordered them for Mothers Day only a week in advance, but they were as good as their word. The items that I chose said they would be delivered by Mothers Day and they were, with a day to spare. I'm so glad they take the time to mark the date items will arrive when you are checking out. That makes all the difference.
Oh yeah, Mom LOVED the truffles.

Ms. Katie deserves an excellent rating for her manner of handling my orders. She was quite helpful and pleasant, straightened the initial choice that I made, which did not take advantage of the "passport"(?) offer for shipments, found a better delicious alternative of an additional gift to complete my order for one friend, combined those two orders into one so that both were delivered at the same time, did whatever she could to have my gift to another friend delivered right on Valentine's Day, replaced my email address and ensured that the charges to my account were correct. Thank you very much Ms. Katie! You create a good reputation for Harry & David.

I received two gifts from Harry & David recently. The pears were delicious, as well as the other items in the container. I also received two dozen macadamia and chocolate chip cookies which are outstanding. Love their products!

I just wanted to put my experience with Harry & David out there. I ordered a very expensive food item that was opened in the cooler prior to arrival and therefore ruined. I needed it for our Christmas dinner and emailed them right away. I provided them with photos of the damage in my email and they completely rectified the situation by sending an email saying they would replace it in time for Christmas dinner. True to their word, I received it on Christmas Eve. I truly appreciated their customer service and willingness to make it right, especially with a time sensitive situation.

The cake was exactly as I expected! Even arrived a day early. I live in California and I know it ships from Oregon. I wonder if that impacted the excellence of my order?
I was hesitant after reading all of the reviews but I will absolutely order again. Harry and David continues their amazing products. From coffee, to chocolate, to now cakes, Harry and David is my to go to place!

In January we received two trays of Honeybel oranges. Just beautiful each one and the taste is excellent.
Granddaughter just loved the orange juice I made.
In February we received a tray of Pink Grapefruits. Wow! Each one just perfect. Wife loves sliced halves with breakfast. I love the juice I made from half of the tray.
A little card came with the grapefruits from Kelly Christie (#*******) who did the personal packing.
Kelly, my compliments to you for your wonderful selection and packaging.
Will order these fruits every year. We look forward to these cheerful gifts of winter.

Just use it!
