Look great so I purchased they were very hard not a problem waited a day to eat and they felt perfect one bite did taste good the second No Brown inside cut them all in half and see picture of brown inside All were about one bite size and then mushy and brown

Way over ripe and flavorless. Usually, the fruit from Sam's is slightly under ripe and it takes a couple of days for them to reach peak flavor, but these were already past yellow and turned brown in days. They also were not sweet, which Bartlets usually are, and had barely any flavor. Cleary a bad batch which is sad as Bartlets are only available for a few weeks.

I think these pears are some of the best I have ever eaten. Now that is saying a lot for an octogenarian. I thought that the price of the 4-lb box of US #1 Bartlett pears Dated Nov 08, 2023, distributed by the Reinier Fruit Co., was fair ($7.68/box or ~77¢/pear) compared to some other stores. What a surprise to have 10 almost perfect pears, sweet and dripping with juice. We enjoyed them plain and with a bit of cheddar cheese. Didn't cook with them as pears this good should be enjoyed on their own. I would buy them again in a heart beat in the hopes that if and when they are offered the next box measures up.

Delicious and juicy and very flavorful. I usually steam half of them while they're firm for my toddler, they taste like poached pears when steamed without the added sugar. The other half rippen on the counter and we eat them as is. They're better than the Harry and David pears that my family sends us every Christmas.

The Bartlett pears that Sams used to sell are better. They came in a bag and were not exposed to the hot humid air in the club. These pears now in the open carton are already over ripe when you take them home. You have a day to eat these pears then they spoil. A wasted purchase!!

One pear had dark spots. The others were beautiful. All were hard, so I waited a few days to use to make a pie. Every pear was rotten at the center at minimum. Some were total brown mush. If I purchase pears again, I will cut into them immediately.

Left these out in a cool garage so they wouldn't all ripen at once, and brought two into the house to ripen. 8 days later one of those 'house' pears hadn't changed color or softened so gave it a try--hard as a rock and no flavor! 3 days after that, gave the second 'house' pear another try (even though it still hadn't changed color or softened either) and it was just as as hard and tasteless as the first! What do they spray these with to ensure they don't ripen??

Orderd these for my children because they love fresh pears. I'm not sure who did the shopping for my delivery order but they actually picked up a batch of rotten pears to be delivered to my home. We had to throw out the entire batch! We couldn't eat any of them. If you looked closely each pear had little open brown holes on their surfaces. Not sure what the issue was because I order fresh fruit and vegetables regulary from Sams. This was the first time that this has ever happened.

I ordered mine delivered, so when they picked a fresh one, they are green and tasty. However, I often receive a box of yellowish, “matured” ones, and those doesn’t last a day before turning brown. So I recommend picking these up instead of getting them delivered.

All of the pears were firm and nice looking. When I cut open the first one it was fine and nearly ripe. The rest were a 50/50 chance of being okay or having a brown rotten core. This was true even though the outsides still looked okay. I could not tell from the outside of the pear or squeezing it if it was going to be a good one or a bad one. I cut them all open. On those which were rotted, the rot itself had spread to about 2/3 of the flesh which made them unusable. We ended up throwing about half of the pears away due to the rot. I would not recommend this product.
