Been ordering for years with rotten peppers in every box. I shrug it off. This year, half of a 25# box was rotten. Cost was $55 with a $50 shipping cost. I received replacement peppers, about 12# and there were rotten ones in there. Again. After four years of rotten peppers arriving I can't recommend them. The cost is exorbitant for shipping and if they're arriving rotten it's a quality control issue (timing of shipping/freshness) or a shipping company issue. They keep calling and emailing me to change my reviews. The woman hung up on me after I explained the REASON for my poor review. Hung up. Nice. Look elsewhere for your hatch chile peppers.
