Nothing on the web site about shipping. So I was in Boise last week and went into a Wally World near the hotel I was staying at. Lo and behold, they had large bins of LOCAL IDAHO PRODUCE super cheap, along with B.C. and Washington State cherries!! I checked around and no one else had any fresh cherries from anywhere. I packed away two large bags of the WA and BC fruit in my checked luggage - plus about 5 lbs. of ID potatoes and sweet and red onions - and brought them home. My opinion of WM may be evolving...
