Ordered me a Harry and David fruitcake today , so, would get by Christmas.

Retail me not has 3.00 coupon using the 15% off code and I'm glad I

ordered on the 9th, on the 11th they will be charging 1.99 surcharge on shipping to get it there by Christmas.

Just wanted to give a heads up to the folks who order from them.

I just order myself a fruitcake once a yr. Husband wouldn't touch a fruitcake if you held a gun to his head. LOL Theirs is the only one I have ever found to be really good.

I ordered a cheese basket for my bro and SIL. Shipping was $16.98! I found a coupon for 20% off so it made the shipping reasonable. It pays to shop around for coupons!!!

I ordered their Royal Riviera Pears, as I have for four years now. There are so many mixed reviews on their pears, but mine have always been absolutely delicious! I ate one this morning with a cup of tea.

@SharkE Thanks for this information - I like fruit cake and will give this one a try.

It's not one of those light colored things. It's dark, rich and full of fruits, nuts and with a hint of bourbon or brandy. I don't drink, so, not sure what I'm tasting hahahaha.

Just my own preference you might be happier with another brand.

I got fruitcake from QVC which I thought was (is) very good. Lots of fruits and nuts also with a taste of liquor. It comes in individual cellophane packets, which I don't care for. Would rather have a CAKE. It's made by Beatrice Bakery in Beatrice, Ne. I'd order it again.

@SharkE No, for me, fruit cake has to be dark and hint of booze is fine. I do not like those light coloured ones so am looking forward to trying this one.

@SharkE Thank you for sharing this. I love fruitcake and had been trying to decide what to order. I just ordered the two lb. fruitcake.

My grandmother used to make fruitcake cookies every year. They were so good!

Collin Street Bakery out of Corsicana, TX, makes wonderful fruitcakes. My father sent my husband and me one of their fruitcakes every Christmas.

My inlaws sent us a fruitcake from Texas (don't remember the name). I sent a thank-you note and put the fruitcake in the freezer and when the one came next year I would throw out the old one and put the new one in the freezer. No one in my family would eat it. I tried to give it away a couple times and could not find any takers.

@DiAnne That's the one from Collin Street Bakery. It's very good! You should at least try it if they send it again this year.
