One thing that amazed me when the package arrived is that there was no shipping fee yet they came from the UK. They arrived just one day after the earliest projected arrival date. They are very fresh and have great taste. The last box I got from a different vendor must have been stale or something...though they tasted okay, they were very thin, the mint seemed dried out. I hope that Zorba continues to be a seller on Amazon. This is my only recourse to these mints as there is not one store in my area that carries them and that is confirmed by NestlesUSA.
