The prices are much better than Asian markets, the produce is fresh and delivered intact. My family always buys vegetables from Wee. However, they don't ship fresh produce to Gofftown, which is very inconvenient. I was only able to place an order if I could get a relative in Manchester to help me, so I could have ordered more but couldn't.
