Why have fruit in the office?
These days our bodies need more vitamins and minerals than ever before. This is because we work longer hours, are exposed to more toxic fumes from pollution and are under more stress than we used to be. Eating fruit every day is a simple way of reducing the stress of daily life and a perfect way to create a healthier workplace.
Is it not cheaper for me to buy fruit for the office at the closest fruit shop?
The fruit may well be a little cheaper, but you can almost guarantee that it won’t be of the same quality as ours. With poor quality fruit, you will probably end up throwing some of it out and it won’t last as long. The cost of the fruit is not the only aspect. You’ve got to take into account the cost of your time, the delivery cost to get the fruit to your office, which means Fruits in the City is by far the easier option.
Will the fruit be difficult to eat in the office?
No, we only provide hand-held fruit that is easy to eat in your office.
What happens if my regular delivery day coincides with a public holiday?
If your regular delivery happens to coincide with a public holiday we will deliver your fruit the following day unless specifically requested otherwise
How do I place an order?
You can call, email or use the enquiry form to place an order. We can also advise you on how much fruit will meet your workplace needs.
How often do you deliver?
Fruits in the City operates Mon – Friday and we aim to deliver the fruit at a time to meet your needs (usually between 9am – 1pm). Deliveries are taken directly to the location in the workplace where the fruit will be consumed (e.g. meeting rooms, open planned office, kitchen area). We are also more than happy to deliver to different floors or locations.
Is this a permanent contract?
None of our customers are tied to permanent contracts. If you have a regular arrangement with us we ask for 48hr notice for cancellation.
How do I pay?
You can be invoiced per order, weekly, or monthly. Payment can be made by BACS, cheque or cash.
What areas do you currently deliver to?
Currently our focus is very much on providing a local workplace fruit delivery service within Edinburgh, Glasgow and surrounding areas.
How will we receive our fruit?
All of our fruit comes freshly displayed in your chosen fruit box or wicker fruit basket (no unsightly cardboard boxes from us!). We take pride in making all our orders look as presentable as possible and do the small things which make a difference like splitting up bananas individually.
Do I have to have a weekly delivery?
No. While the majority of our customers have a weekly delivery of fresh fruit, we can also provide fruit boxes/baskets on a bi-weekly or even monthly basis. Please call us to discuss your specific needs.
Can I set up an order across several addresses?
Yes, we can easily arrange this for you. We have a number of clients which we service across different addresses.
Our office doesn’t like figs can we change these for something else?
Of course. We appreciate that every workplace has different tastes and we will do our best to ensure your specific needs are catered for within your budget.
