How do you check the quality of produce items you've purchased online? If I want to buy avocados, oranges, or tomatoes, I have to trust some picker that I've never even met to know how I prefer them. Until they solve that problem I will never order produce online.

You look at them when they arrive and then complain if they suck to get a refund. The same thing you do with every other thing you order online.

That's not exactly as convenient as being able to squeeze and smell produce before you buy it. If I'm ordering for dinner and my produce sucks, what is my actual recourse other than to not cook the dinner I wanted to cook?

Would you order your other groceries online though? For a lot people in the west their diet is comprised of more than just fresh produce.
