Hi Pam, mine arrived yesterday. They are okay, juicy but not much of the flavor I have come to expect.

I believe Honey Bells are sold in your local stores.  They're under a different name though.

they are also called mineola tangelos.

i have not seen them in our grocery stores or specialty grocery stores in my area of maryland.

 

on facebook, some QVC customers have begun to receive theirs. i have seen posts and photos where many are not happy with the quality of them and are calling for refunds.

 

that is one good thing about QVC. 100% money back guarantee on food items and they do not have to be returned.

 

i received mine from pittman and davis and they were great.

I got my shipments of honeybells today. So far they are very good. I bought 2 cases 24 in each box. I had a box sent out of state, so I should hear about them in a day or two. One thing I learned from all this delaying and BS, is I would never do business with Harry & David's. They are very rude and not helpful. I will continue to buy from Qvc, even knowing that thier vendor is H&D's. And for those that think you can buy these in any grocery store, very rarely is that true. They are not tangerines, or tangelos, or mineola's. I am a 44 yr retiree from a well known supermarket ( probably the best in the NE ) and I only saw them one time in the produce dept.

I canceled my honey bells, but they arrived anyway. I was worried about the quality after reading some reviews. As it turns out, mine are exactly as expected, juicy and flavorful. They were a bit uglier than usual, but no complaints.
