Frequently Asked Questions
Fresh Avocados, Are Just An FAQ Away
Does an AvoPost subscription continue all year round? Or do they go on pause when avocados are not in season?
Can I choose a particular day of the week to get my box delivered?
To ensure you get fruit that’s straight off the tree, our avocado boxes will be dispatched to our customers on Wednesdays. This means you’ll be getting the freshest avocados just in time for the weekend!
Can I skip, reschedule or edit my subscription?
What packaging do the subscription boxes come in? Is it environmentally friendly?
Are the avocados you send to customers ripe or unripe?
Will avocados come at different stages of ripening?
Is there any way to speed up the avocado ripening process?
If you’re needing your avocado fix sooner, we recommend putting your avocado in a brown paper bag with a banana or apple. These fruits give off ethylene gas, which is a ripening agent.

What is the difference between Hass and Reed avocados?
Hass avocados are the most commonly produced variety in New Zealand; however, we cannot forget about Reed avocados – these are the creamier, rounder cousin of the Hass avocado.
Hass avocados are the most widely eaten type of avocado. Their skin darkens as they ripen, turning near-black when fully ripe. They have an intense nutty and sweet flavour with a creamy, rich texture – making them perfect for guacamole.
Reed avocados are plump and round, with thick green skin that remains green even when ripe. They have a buttery texture with bold, rich and nutty flavour notes.
