This is the second year in a row of two that my order was received with a large quanity of the chiles being rotten and damaged. Last year they were shipped to MD which is a long shipping distance. This year to Sothern CA mush shorter. Tried to get 2nd day air but website kept returning it to the default 3 day ground. I have to comment the company for accepting responsibility and issuing a quick refund without any problem. In future will buy my Hatch chiles when our speciality stores bring them in. I may pay more but I get to pick them myself. The best chile does come from Hatch NM no question about it.
