I've sent the fruit of the month gift to my day three times out of the past four years. He loves the fruit and its a good gift for someone who I find hard to shop for. It is expensive, but every time I've ad a free shipping coupon and ts applied to all 12 months. I had to pay the base fee with no coupon/discount but no shipping fees. I recommend keeping your eyes open and waiting to see if tey have the coupon again this year.
