The total weight of each box varies depending on the size, shape, and mass of the fruit:

• One Fruit contains one 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.
