Thank you for sending the fantastic fruit basket on Mother's Day to my mother in Liverpool. She was amazed when it arrived - fresh, juicy, crunch array of fruit selection presented in a lovely wicker basket. She sent a text straightaway which made me happy that you delivered exactly what your website says.

I always send flowers to my dear Mother on Mother's Day who leaves in Birmingham, UK. In one of our recent telephone conversation, she mentioned that her friend gave her some Chilli Chocolates and she loved it. Whether it's my imagination that she is dropping some hints or just loved it so much, I thought ump...let me send some chilli chocolates and I just found a perfect mother's day in your website - Moet Champagne & Chilli Chocolates. I really look forward to her surprise at my thoughtful Mother's Day gift.

I regularly use your company to send gifts to my friends and family in the UK and always receive a cheerful, happy and delighted recipient's emails. Last week I had to send something very special to my Mother on her 60th Birthday. I choose your Moet Champagne & Chilli Chocolates. She loved the champagne but was just amazed to taste and enjoy the chilli chocolates. In fact I am going to order just a huge amount of Chilli Chocolates so that she can enjoy them for the next few months! So thank you yet again to make my Mother's Day a happy one.

I really would like to thank you all at Cityfruits.com for delivering a customised fresh Fruit Basket to one of our key staff who was rushed to a Hospital in London this week. The recipient was really grateful as it contained all her favourite fruit - seedless grapes, tangerines, bananas, mangoes, kiwi fruit, etc...She also enjoyed and shared with doctors and staff at the Hospital the accompanying gift hampers containing cookies, muffins and brownies. Our branch will always use you in the future and will pass on your company website to rest of HR staff in our Organisation.

Thank you very much for your service today. It is lovely to know I can order on line from Brighton and have something delivered to a special friend on the same day in London. My work colleague and I are friends from University days, and she was thrilled to receive her gift of Champagne & Chocolates delivered to her door today for her 30th. Birthday. I will certainly be using your service again.

This year we had a brainwave - we decided to send out 40 Valentine's Day Gifts to all the front and reception staff in Central London Hotels, who look after our customers from Europe who visit London on short holidays. We sent Valentine's Chocolate Heart and Teddy Bear to women and Valentine's Chocolate Heart and Wine to men. All day long today we have received emails to all these 40 staff who were surprised and thrilled that we our Company valued them so much. Thank you to all at Cityfruits.com who made sure that all these gifts were delivered by NOON today.

A massive thank you for delivering a fresh fruit basket to London Bridge Hospital at such a short notice today - On a Saturday!

His family called us to personally thank us for sending a beatuful basket containing quality fruit which they all enjoyed eating and sharing.

Really a wonderful gift of Strawberries & Pink Champagne sent to dear friend's Wedding Anniversay in London today, which they were totally surprised and thrilled to receive it.

I am pleased to let you know that the fruit basket you had express delivered to London Hospital yesterday delighted my Aunt so much.

Whilst visiting families and friends in London, unfortunately my close family member was unfortunately rushed to one of the central London Hospitals for emergency. Thankfully all is now well but I was really impressed by immense care and attention paid by all the Hospital staff, Nurses and Doctors alike. I really wanted to show my appreciation and came across Cityfruits.com via Bing.com and after a brief telephone I was assured that they could organise delivery of 4 fruit baskets to nurses, doctors and other hospital staff within hours - 3 days prior to Christmas day, busiest time for any gift company. So I am really grateful that my relation is well, that London Hospital really impressed me with their great care and finally to Cityfruits.com for putting extra effort in making an urgent, express delivery of fruit baskets to thank the staff of London Hospital during the festive time. Thank you and best wishes for your business in 2010.

In spite all the modern technology and Internet search engines, personal recommendations still count a lot. This was reinforced this week when a work colleague recommended Cityfruits.com for our Christmas Hampers gifting. Upon visiting your website, we found the range, content and prices fully suitable to our budget to send out 80 Christmas Hampers to staff, clients, suppliers and prospects. Your site was one of most easiest we have come across to submit orders. Thank you for making our Christmas gift shopping that much easier.

Our Boss is a food and fruit fanatic, so this Christmas the theme was fruit, fruit baskets, fruit hampers, etc... Lo and behold, at Cityfruits.com they have everything we wanted but also offered additional extras in Champagne, Wines, Chocolates, Muffins, Cakes, Nuts, etc... So all our staff, suppliers, key clients, etc... Totaling well over 150 had a choice of Christmas Fruit Hampers plus any extras of their choice. This has gone down well with everyone and now we all wait in anticipation of Christmas Fruit Hampers plus goodies being whizzed to everyone over the next few days! It's all exiting for us. Thank you Cityfruits.com!

I just want to express my deep gratitude for organizing the delivery of 65 Christmas hampers at such a short notice last Thursday to our office in London. We were let down by one of the big national names who in turn blamed their suppliers and contractors, etc...It was so easy to deal with your straightforward information and delivery of a sample within hours for approval. The hamper was beautifully designed and contained branded champagnes, French quality wines, Belgian chocolates in a classy hamper gift box. I am sure we will be recommending and using your company from now onwards.

Last year we received a marketing email forwarded by one of my colleagues with a subject saying that "Xmas Gifts Makes Business Sense - gifts build realtionships - with a choice of Christmas Hampers from Cityfruits.com. We tried it, sent out 30 hampers to selected clients and suppliers. It was money well spent" This year not only have we increased the list to over 40, but have added 25 more hampers for all the staff. This year's choice is massive, so for us Cityfruits.com has been one stop gifting in hampers with wines, chocolates, champagnes, gourmet foods, etc... Thank you for making 2009 memorable!

Our company, based in Leeds wanted to send Christmas Hampers to staff, Suppliers and few customers based all over UK. With a fairly moderate but tight budget, we were able to browse and select all our gift hampers in no time and able to select all the combinations of wine, chocolates, champagnes and other gourmet food on Cityfruits.com - within my lunch period! Later in the day in no time all the orders were submitted by us but within an hour each of the 85 orders were processed and confirmed with receipts. This was the best online shopping experince for me in the last 5 years. Thank you.

Many thanks for the prompt delivery of Champagne and Chocolates gift hamper delivered at a short notice to our office in London today. We tried contacting many other online companies and none of them could offer a speedy sameday delivery in London. We certainly will be using Cityfruits.com on a regular basis as you offer a hugh product range and virtually within hours delivery in London and next day day to anywhere in the UK.

One of our work colleagues was taken to a hospital in Birmingham when she was involved in a car accident. We sent her a Tropical Fruit Basket to wish her well for a speedy recovery. The sight of a beautiful array of fruit is one of the most vivid memories she says will stay in her mind forever and was touched by our thoughtful gesture. Thank you, as the gift basket was delivered in less than 15 hours upon submitting the order online.

Your website was very easy to navigate and the photos of your products made it simple to select just the right gift… a very important factor in sending something to a dental clinic... I was mindful of sending them a healthful assortment of products. I also appreciated your e-mails letting me know when the gift would be delivered and also when it arrived.

The experience with Cityfruits was first class. I live in Houston, Texas and my mother lives in Ayr, Scotland. The service at point of purchase to delivery was excellent. My mother was contacted prior to delivery which made taking delivery very easy for her. She is a semi-invalid and I was concerned about her receiving the gift on time. This was not an issue and she was delighted with the quality of the chocolates.
I will use your company again. Thankyou.

I was very happy with the fruit basket gift that was sent to my daughter in Edinburgh in June. It was a birthday present and I thought it would be a great surprise for her because as she was travelling overseas she didn´t expect to receive any presents in the time frame that she was at the address. She loves all fruit so I thought it was a great idea. The selection and quality of the fruit was great ...

The gift basket was received in perfect condition and my instructions to contact the recipient prior to delivery to confirm delivery time/place, were followed. It made it very easy for me (based in the U.S.) to get a gift to my son based in the U.K.
I will use your company again!

Your small box of fruit sent to my daughter at royal marsden was just what she wanted - not overpowering in quantity, nice and fresh and ripe, and on time; thankyou; she normally makes a big thing about organic, but didn´t query yours, just enjoyed them.
on mangoes, having grown up in africa i can´t imagine anyone really enjoying those on sale in uk supermarkets etc- hopelessly green and never ripen, just die, even in the airing cupboard (where most bought fruit has to spend at least a few days to ripen properly); mangoes should be orange and messily oozy - and voluptuous! ; hope you manage them better, but fear they don´t seem to travel well at all?; bananas another problem - when ripe they should be soft and speckled brown - the point when many brits just throw them away!; fruit taken as medicine here these days ( ridiculous´ 5 a day´) with little expectation of great flavour, texture etc?; never mind, keep up the good work and i´ll stop this ranting...

Hi just from this end Australia, your web site is good and I had no trouble ordering what I wanted (put you in my favorites in case I need to send fruit again). I know they were delived on time so thats great too. Cant give you any feed back from Dad as I cant speak to Him He´s 87 and deaf so thats as far as I can go for you but would use you again. Thanks very much for your email about wrong date too as I would have been wondering where the fruit had got to. So again Thanks very much. Ann

I was very happy, the service was very prompt, the website was very easy to use, except I think I missed out on the point where I could choose red or white wine but that was not really important. The web is the only resource that I have when I am sending things. My daughter received a phone call to check exactly where the basket had to be delivered to. They were very happy with the contents, they said that the wine was lovely and they were very impressed that the cheese was vegetarian! I would certainly use your service again, not that I send things very often because it is SO EXPENSIVE ( especially when we have to deal with the exchange rates) , but you were very competitve as far as price goes. Many thanks.

I was very pleased with the site and the offerings. I am based in the US but have staff in London and from time to time send them gift hampers as thank you´s for their work. I generally use Thornton´s but some of my team do not like chocolate (hard to believe, I know) so I went searching for an alternative provider, found your site and placed the order. It was very easy and intuitive and I received a very quick confirmation. Most importantly, the team loved it!

I had friends visiting Scotland and wanted to send them a fruit basket. I found your web site. It had a lot of nice items to choose from. Your web site was a lot easier to go through then some of the others I visited. Ordering from the United States and expecting something to arrive in Scotland made me a little nervous. My friends received their basket, full of fresh fruit. It was delivered on time and I was told it was nicely presented. I found every aspect of my experience to be easy and would use your services again.

My first time ordering on line so have no comparison with other companies. My experience with Cityfruits was good. Navigating website was easy altho estimating size of baskets was a little difficult. The basket was more expensive than I originally planned to spend but was well worth it; there was so much in it. My daughter enjoyed the basket and said the products were excellent quality, and service was friendly and prompt. I would use Cityfruits again.

The fruit basket was very well & happily received by the recipient who was in hospital, it was just what he wanted (fruit was very refreshing within the dry confines of the hospital). And chocolates were appreciated, making the basket a well-rounded gift.
When I was having questions regarding on-line booking, I telephoned the shop, the person who handled my call was very helpful indeed and ensured that everything went smoothly. Also, fruit is a very good alternative to flowers to those in hospital, something maybe worth mentioning on the website too. Also, maybe you could offer different types of chocolate with the fruit and chocolate basket?
Thank you for your service, I would not hesitate to use it again when needed.

Jane a PA from Middlesex - England

Website was simple to use which I was happy about because I had tried others which were really irritating.
The recipient said the produce was of sufficient quality - I was concerned about because given the price, I did wonder if it wouldn´t have been better to send the money and allow the recipients to buy produce of higher quality in the shops. However, as it turns out, this worry was unfounded.
I found the product range a little bit bland, although this by no means undermines my overall satisfaction with your service. For example, I would never send dried fruits or nuts. My recommendation would be either to develop the product choices to include more luxury items, such as pate or fois gras or charcuterie or to allow customer to ´customise´ the packages they send (maybe there was this service but I didn´t see it).
My ideal package to send an adult would be; Port, stilton, pate, good coffee beans or tea leaves, chocolates etc etc.
Also, if you had a ´Fair Trade´ package that would be really great. I did look for a ´Fair Trade´ delivery service but those which exist seem to only specialise in one product e.g. coffee or chocolate or teddy bears. It would be really good to have one site that could bring together a ´catalogue´ of fair trade items which could then be sent in a package.
There, that´s it from me
Thanks

I like visiting the website of Ciyifruits.com. It is easy to use, has nice colors and good pictures. For me it would be more convenient if among the list of categories of flowers the site would have the button "See all categories of flowers". It was not obvious for me that I could use Quick search for this task.
I really appreciate the fact that on the day I placed the order only Ciyifruits.com was able to deliver it on April, 11, which was very important for me. The earliest possible delivery from other sites was April,12 - April,14.
My sister really likes the flowers and food hamper she´s got. The only inconvenient thing was that she was told to wait for delivery from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and in case she´s not at home there would be no way to get the package.
Overall I think your service is good. Thank you.

My colleague who was the recipient of our recent order was very pleased with the quality and presentation of the fruit.
I was pleased to be able to send fruit rather than flowers to this particular colleague.
The service I received was good and the ordering was just a simple as I like it to be.
Thank you.

I had intended to write earlier to thank you very much for the extra effort you made to get the fruit basket to my aunt´s home in East Molesy on the day of my uncle´s funeral. It was on the doorstep when they got home from the crematorium, and, by all reports, was a truly welcome site and a lovely presentation with excellent quality fruit. Your personalized care (something completely unavailable from other sites) made it all possible. From the beginning, I felt sure that you were detail oriented and would deliver an excellent product - an extremely reassuring feeling when making arrangements from the US. I will be sure to use/recommend your services for similar needs in the London area. Do you deliver to Wiltshire as well? How much notice would you need?
Thank you again. I am very grateful to you.

I wish to thank you for your fine fruit basket that was delivered so promptlly. We have relatives in Scotland and it is somewhat difficult at times to send gifts. It was a pleasure to find your website filled with beautiful and healthy gifts that the recipients appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you

I was very pleased with your service. Ordering online from across the Atlantic had me a bit worried, but all went smoothly. The bereavement fruit/cookie basket arrived on the scheduled day, and I have been told it was lovely and tasty. Thank you so much for helping us to express our long-distance condolences.

The website caught my eye, and immediately appealed to me. I´d looked at several other sites for international deliveries and they all looked complicated. It was clear to me that you would deliver what I wanted, to where I wanted it to go.
We have not heard back from our recipient--which isn´t unusual. That is why I really appreciated your follow up with the delivery.
You were fabulous--spending a lot of time with me, despite the small size of my order. Cityfruits is in my favorites file!
Thank you,

the website was great--fast and efficient.
The recipient said: "The fruit basket was fine, well filled and all fresh we greatly enjoyed it."
So based on this, I am happy with your service and goods. Thanks.

I found the service to be good. I did have a proble with an order in December that did not seem to go through but apart from that the new order went rather well.
I cannot really say much about the product because I did not see it but the recepient seemed to loved it (Which is brilliant).

The website was easy to use and the fruit was sent as a "thank you" present to my parents. They were delighted and commented how lovely the fruit was.
Well done to you and thanks. I would definitely use again.
Thanks

1. Website experience was very good. Well set out, easy to use. (The only problem I usually encounter is that my credit card is a company card which is issued at one address in north Wales, I am based in West Sussex and delivery address was elsewhere. However, your website coped with this very well - which is rare when I order over the internet).
2. Recipient was very pleased. He had never received a basket of fruit before and said it was a "really good basket of fruit".
3. I have used your services before (when I worked for a different company) - and I continue to use City Fruits because of good service and we are always happy with the products.
Kind regards.

I just want you to know how much i appreciated your service online. Our daughter is working in England and I wanted to do something special for her on Valentines Day. I got an e-mail from her first thing in the morning to let me know that her flowers had arrived. Thanks so much.

The website experience was very good. It was nice to find your site and be able to order from the USA. Our daughter was very happy with the fruit and brownies we sent her through your company. Everything arrived in a timely manner, as it was her birthday and her third day in the UK....
Again thanks for a nice shopping experience.

I used your service as a friend of mine from Dublin Ireland was having an operation in a London Hospital and no one could go and visit her.
Your web site was very user friendly even to me. My friend was delighted with the Teddy Bear the cake and the chocolates and it cheered her up one miserable Thursday afternoon.
I will keep your details on file for use in the future and many thanks for providing a suitable product and prompt delivery.
Kind Regards

I did actually leave a glowing commentary on the customer feedback page of the cityfruits website. I was a very satisfied customer, and hopefully those comments left there were seen.

I would be delighted to offer comments about my recent experience with City Fruits. I live in the USA and needed a birthday gift for my friend who lives in Folkestone, UK. To mail something from the USA is costly and takes a very long time to get it there. I found your web site and ordered the Scotch. There was a problem with my order going through online, so you actually called me to complete the order. You had my gift delivered on time and he absolutely loved it. I can say without a doubt, shopping with City Fruits is the best online shopping experience that I have experienced.
It takes a lot of time and effort on your part to make a phone call to the USA to make sure a customers order is completed so it can be delivered on time. I appreciate very much the time you took to help me with this purchase.
I will not hesitate to do buisness with you in the future or to recommend your site to others. Thank you again for making shopping with you such a pleasure.

Very pleased with the service generally. Living in spain, I panicked when i realised I had forgotten it was my mothers birthday the next day (she lives in London) so it was great to find your site, ordered at 8pm and she had her gift at 9am the next day and no idea that i had left it so late! Thanks.
I did look at several sites which offered 4 hr delivery of gift and your was the most reasonable.

The recipients (just north of Edinburgh) of the recent delivery of fruit and champagne were absolutely delighted with the gift. They were impressed that the fruit was just right for eating. As a recipient some years ago here at my home of a very impressive fruit basket from you, I have used your service occasionally under a now defunct e-mail address, as I know you will deliver when you say you will and the quality is excellent.
Many thanks. I have looked at your "just because fruit basket" and will very likely place an order in the not too distant future.

I have to say the site was great. I was ordering from the US for a friend in the UK who had just lost her father. I found you very easily on a google search and you offered me what I wanted...something classy but different to the usual flowers or fruit basket!!
The site was very easy and the visuals are large so you get a great sense of what the basket will be like. I have not heard from my friend yet, not surprisingly, but if I get any comments I will forward them on.
Cheerio for now

Your website is first class.
The fruit I sent my parents was also first class. They thought it was good that some of the more delicate fruit was wrapped individually.
I have your site saved on the PC and will be using you again in the future for gifts for family birthdays, anniversaries etc.
Many Thanks

I could not have been more pleased with the service you provided me recently.
I was pleasantly surprised that on such short notice I was able to direct a gift to my expatriate brother in London from my home in New York.
The basket was delivered with faultless execution; and my brother was extremely gratified with the quality of the gift.

The muffin basket was a big hit! My mother-in-law is 97, so it is difficult to find anything to give her, and apparently this hit the spot.
Your ordering process is fairly idiot proof, and the next day shipping was wonderful.
Thank you,

I was truly impressed with the service provided by cityfruits. I needed to get a Christmas present from Australia to my mother in the U.K. Things were looking grim as it was 10pm on the 21st of December. I placed the order and the following day my mother was able to indulge herself on French wine and Belgian chocolates.

I was extremely pleased with the basket of fruit I ordered for my father, it was delivered when you said it would be and my father was overwhelmed. He had gone to Lancashire to spend 4 days with my sister and ended up staying for 8 weeks, due to the fact that he was rushed into hospital and was in intensive care for 4 days. I myself live in Dorset, as does my father, with work commitments I could not keep popping in to see him. As he was getting better I wanted to send him something, but not flowers, that is were you came in, all the family thought it was a brilliant idea and my father still talks about his basket of fruit today. I will certainly use you again (not for something as drastic, I hope).
So although I do not wish to order anything at the moment, I would like to thank you for your great baskets of fruit and say what a brilliant idea I think it is.
Good Luck in the future

I sent the fruit & wine basket to a lovely family in the UK. I did not see how it looked but the family said it was very, very nice and fresh. They were very impressed with the gift.
I was very impressed with the ordering, and I also called to check on the order and actually talked to a person. I appreciate the personal touch of being able to track down an
Order and actually talk to someone that did check on it. I will certainly use your company again. I really feel that I can trust your company and you have given me great service.

I would like to express my appreciation to Cityfruits.com for the lovely fruit basket you sent to my son and daughter-in-law. I live in Canada and I had to rely on the internet to order. My daughter-in-law called me to say how thrilled she was with the beautiful fruit basket you sent. She was amazed at the freshness and large size of the fruit. I will definitely be placing future orders with your company.

The teddy bear/fruit basket was the talk of the ward. It not only lifted my friend's spirits but fed everyone, with fruit to spare. Worth every penny.
Thank you.

I would also like to thank you for the good service that you've provided last Christmas. The couple to whom you've delivered the product that I've ordered were very happy indeed. They informed me that it actually arrived on the day I've requested it delivered, and the contents are in perfect condition.....and yes, they do love the taste. Thanks for making it easy for me to send good gifts with just few storkes on the keyboard. Please keep up the good work.

I was very happy with your service. I get the impression my friends and family, who received the gifts were pleased with them.I wanted to send one further gift. Unfortunately that was not possible.
I contacted you on the Thursday before Christmas when you had closed. for the holiday, which rather surprised me. I have a friend who runs an Internet wine company. He and his wife were dispatching orders until it was no longer possible for them to arrive before Christmas.
