Fall prices generally become available sometime between mid August and the second week of September.

Yes, in fact Riversweet was the first company to offer color coded cartons.

Our color codes are as follows:

Navels - Orange Cartons
Red Grapefruit - Yellow Cartons
Tangelos - Blue Cartons
Juice Oranges - Green Cartons
Mixed Navels and Grapefruit - Purple Cartons
Mixed Varieties have large color coded labels.

"Officially" our minimum order is 1/4 truckload. This equals 250 large cartons or 500 small cartons or any equivalent mixture of the two sizes.

We make every effort to deliver orders that fall below our minimum. These orders may require your group to be flexible with your delivery date and time.

The more advance notice you can provide the better. If you fail to make the minimum, then we will place your order on the first truck headed to your area that has room to accomodate your order.

We have a number of clients that have access to their own truck and driver and pick up their fruit every year.

We will deduct the freight charges from your bill if you pick up your own fruit.

We request that you provide a refrigerated tractor trailer to protect your fruit. A vented trailer can work if the driver intends to drive through the night on a short run (GA, SC or NC).

Please...no sealed furniture or moving trucks.

We will provide your group with full color posters to help promote your sale.

We will also provide you with professionally designed, color brochures to help you collect your orders. You can download a copy of our citrus sale brochure from this page.

We will also provide you with a copy of our Leader's Guide that will include detailed instructions on how to promote and conduct your sale.

There is no cost for any of these materials.

By all means! Many of our clients sell another product along with, or right before, they conduct their citrus sale.

Home-style fudge goes very well with citrus because both products have become associated with the fall holidays.

Cookie dough also goes very well, although to maximize your sale, we encourage you to conduct your sale SEPARATE from your Citrus Sale. Cookie dough is a big seller and we have found that clients that sell cookie dough before citrus, simply have a much larger sale.

We will provide you with a loading diagram that will show you where each piece of fruit is located on the truck and will. Please examine the diagram before you begin unloading the truck.

We would never pay for fruit "sight unseen" and we would not expect our clients to do so either. As a result, we offer you a 1 percent rebate if you can postmark your payment within ten days AFTER DELIVERY.

Most of our competitors require you to PREPAY in order to qualify for the same 1 percent discount.

We also offer a $200.00 Full Truck Discount to each client that sells a full truckload. A full truck is equal to 950 4/5 equivalent units.
