Miracle berry or miracle tablets?<\/p>\n<p>Your experience may vary.  I tried the tablets more than a year ago and tried the berries at the party.  I felt that the berries were more authentic than a machine-created tablet.  The tablets seemed fake, but were very easy to obtain and cheap.  The berries were difficult to order and needed great care so that they would not spoil.<\/p>\n<p>2. If ordering tablets, get them on ebay.<\/p>\n<p>The sellers on ebay are rather reputable and typically don&#8217;t even charge for shipping.<\/p>\n<p>3. If ordering the berries, call the <a href=\"http:\/\/miraclefruitman.com\/\">Miracle Fruit Man<\/a> early.<\/p>\n<p>Although they are running a business, it seems that they may run out of supplies any time.  If you&#8217;re an anxious party host like me, call them ahead of them to confirm an advance order so headaches are prevented.  <\/p>\n<p>I ordered them Tuesday night\/Wednesday morning thinking it will arrive on Friday in ready for the Saturday party.  The following morning, I received an email saying that they could not ship via FedEx 2-day.  I demanded my shipment to be sent overnight and they did so without extra charge.<\/p>\n<p>4. If you order the berries, make sure to have a freezer handy.<\/p>\n<p>Upon receiving the berries, I immediately put it in a freezer.  I did not open the box until right before the party.  This reduced any possible damage to the berry.<\/p>\n<p>Next up: <strike>serving the berry!<\/strike> should be&#8230;what you need for the party!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you order?
