Will Crispy Apples Arrive?

Winter is a season when we can enjoy delicious apples.

It is said that apples make our body hotter. An apple’s crispy texture is so good and I like it very much.

I ordered apples through the internet. The direct delivery service from the farmer is wonderful.

Aomori and Nagano prefecture are famous as apple-producing area. I chose Nagano prefecture this time and searched for a good seller on a shopping site.

A lot of sellers showed up on the screen, so I couldn’t make a quick decision on which to select.

I knew that star ratings aren’t very useful because there are sometimes fake evaluations.

I think a bunch of fake information on the internet is really a big problem. TV news said that there were the cases where an expected product wasn’t delivered.

A first-time delivery from a new farmer is like a gamble.

I carefully picked out a certain producer which looked safe.

I thought it may be better to ask somebody’s opinion about a good seller before making a decision, but because it’s not a big purchase I thought I don’t have to do that much.

I hope to get tasty apples around mid-December.
