FAQ

Everything you need to know about ordering fresh mangoes, dates, nuts & produce from FruitsBox UAE.

Ordering & Products

What makes FruitsBox mangoes different from other mango sellers in the UAE?

Our mangoes are naturally ripened at peak sweetness — no artificial ripening methods and no artificial chemicals. Each box is carefully selected for taste and quality before it leaves us. Beyond mangoes, FruitsBox also carries Dates & Nuts, Fresh & Organic produce, and Bulk Buy packs, so you can build a full order in one place.

Are your mangoes naturally ripened, or are chemicals used?

Naturally ripened only. We don't use artificial ripening agents or chemicals — our mangoes are clean, safe, farm-fresh fruit ripened the traditional way.

Do you sell fruits, vegetables, dates, and nuts individually, or only in boxes?

Both. You'll find individually priced items (like a 500g pack of tomatoes or 250g of ginger) as well as curated boxes and bundles (like a Mango box or the Exotic Fruits Bundle). Shop by category: Mangoes, Dates & Nuts, Fresh & Organic, and Bulk Buy.

What does "Bulk Buy" mean, and is it suitable for restaurants or offices?

Bulk Buy is our larger-quantity range (for example, 12kg Mexican Hass Avocado boxes) aimed at bigger households, offices, and businesses that need more volume at a better per-kg value. For regular business/HORECA-scale supply, message our support team to discuss recurring or custom-volume orders.

Are seasonal mangoes available year-round, or only during mango season?

Mangoes are seasonal and availability is limited while the season lasts — once a variety sells out, it's gone until the next harvest window. Our Dates & Nuts and Fresh & Organic ranges are available year-round.

Do you offer organic produce, and how is it certified?

Yes — our "All Organic" range includes items like organic bananas alongside fresh herbs and vegetables. For certification details on a specific product, contact our support team and we'll share the relevant documentation.

Payment

What payment methods do you accept — is Cash on Delivery the only option?

Cash on Delivery (COD) is our current standard payment method, and a card machine is available on delivery for Visa/Mastercard. Fully compliant online card payment is coming soon.

Do you accept card payments online, or only card-on-delivery?

Right now, card payments are accepted at the point of delivery via card machine — online card checkout isn't live yet but is on the way. For contactless payment ahead of delivery, WhatsApp or email us and we'll share bank transfer details.

Is it safe to pay cash to the delivery rider?

Yes, Cash on Delivery is our standard, secure payment flow. If you'd rather not exchange cash — for example when sending a gift order — you can arrange a bank transfer in advance via WhatsApp or email.

Quality & Freshness

How do you ensure the fruit I receive is fresh and ripe?

Every order is handpicked and quality-checked before dispatch — it's the promise behind our "Freshness Guaranteed" standard, covering naturally ripened mangoes, farm-fresh produce, and clean sourcing across the range.

Can I inspect my order before accepting delivery?

Yes. Because our products are perishable, you're welcome to check the goods at the time of delivery. If you're not satisfied, you can return the item right then with the delivery rider.

What happens if my mangoes or fruit arrive damaged or spoiled?

Report it immediately — ideally at the point of delivery. If you notice damage after the rider has left, email us photos of the damage, the order number, and the packaging within 3 hours of delivery. Once verified, we'll issue a full product refund.

Returns, Refunds & Cancellations

What is your return policy for perishable items?

Since our products are perishable, returns need to happen at the moment of delivery — inspect your order and return it to the rider on the spot if you're not satisfied. Once the rider has left, we can only offer a refund or exchange for items that are defective, damaged, or reported within the 3-hour damage-claim window.

How long do I have to report a damaged or rotten product after delivery?

Damage claims on perishable orders must be reported within 3 hours of the delivery date, with photo evidence of the damage, the order number, and the packaging.

Can I cancel or change my order after placing it?

Yes — orders can be cancelled any time up to the daily cut-off of 8:30 PM. Any payment already made will be refunded to your original payment method.

How are refunds processed, and how long do they take?

All refunds are issued through your original mode of payment. For damage claims, our team reviews your submitted evidence first, then processes a full product refund once it's verified.
