I had been waiting to eat them because it wasn’t ready but even being to hard I decided to open it and that’s what I found it the two of them what a shame I’m from country side growing grabbing them from the tree

I received three; they're super sweet once they've softened.
KD
Excellent! Have gotten these numerous times, let them ripe for a few days before eating, fresh and sweet every time!

*Peace & Love*
I received two, and after three days at room temperature, they felt a little soft, but they fit perfectly when I opened them.

I love Cherimoya fruit, but I'm very disappointed for my last ordered. My first ordered was two big Cherimoya for $14.99, my second ordered was three big Cherimoya for $29.98, and my third ordered that it just came yesterday was small cherimoya and the weight is not even one and a half, and they still charge me $14.99. Come on, that's cheating. I'm a good customer of yours.
