I received two, and after three days at room temperature, they felt a little soft, but they fit perfectly when I opened them.

I love Cherimoya fruit, but I'm very disappointed for my last ordered. My first ordered was two big Cherimoya for $14.99, my second ordered was three big Cherimoya for $29.98, and my third ordered that it just came yesterday was small cherimoya and the weight is not even one and a half, and they still charge me $14.99. Come on, that's cheating. I'm a good customer of yours.
