I have sent Shari's Berries chocolate-covered strawberries to my son and daughter for Valentine's Day for a few years now. My daughter didn't want to hurt my feeling but this year finally asked me not to send any more... she says they are always on their way to rotten and taste fermented. I wish I'd known a few years ago, but at least now I know to avoid this site. Very disappointed, especially for the exorbitant price I've been paying.
