I just wanted to check our inventory of nuts. About 70,000 pounds of raw peanuts. Should be enough! Now we just need to roast roast away.

NUTS to CBS!

We’ve been getting an onslaught of orders for peanuts and various other nuts as the fans of the CBS show Jericho unite and fight to keep the show on the air.

In the final episode Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich) borrowed the historic phrase “NUTS” in response to a final offer of surrender from a hostile neighboring town. CBS decided to cancel the show, and fans are uprising to save Jericho by sending, you got it, NUTS to CBS executives.

We’ll keep you posted with any new developments.

Dark chocolate lovers - ARE YOU READY?

We’re upping the ante for you connoisseurs, introducing a 72% dark chocolate!

We’re starting with two items out of the gate, but will be eager to add more based on your feedback.

Supreme Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds

Supreme Dark Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans

Alrighty now! This is super duper exciting, especially since so many of you have asked for this. We quickly got our act together and are now launching a freeze dried line of fruit. We’re talking super natural, simply fruit. You’ve probably seen or tasted these in boxes of cereal. They have the same color, shape, flavor and nutritional value of the original fruit, only crunchier of course.

Here’s our starting lineup:

Simply Strawberries

Simply Bananas

Simply Blueberries

Simply Cherries

Simply Cranberries

Simply Peaches

Simply Raspberries

Simply Blackberries

Simply Pineapple

We’ve just launched support for a new service from our friends at Google. Whether you use our normal checkout process or Google Checkout, we always ship quickly and guarantee 100% satisfaction.

If you want some bullet points, here’s the official sales pitch:

• With Google Checkout you can can quickly and easily buy from NutsOnline and many other stores across the web.
• If you’ve used Google Checkout before, all you need to do is provide your Checkout username and password to buy from us.
• If you’re using Google Checkout for the first time, you only have to fill out a single page of information, once to make your first purchase. After that, you just need to enter your Google Checkout login to make a purchase. There’s no need to re-enter your purchase information or create multiple usersnames and passwords each time you buy.
• When you buy with Google Checkout, you can track all your orders in one place and shop with confidence knowing that Google protects you from unauthorized purchases.

It’s not as flexible as our normal checkout process (you can’t pick your ship date and you can’t ship to multiple addresses at once) but it’s pretty fast and easy for what it does.

We’ve told you what it is, now it’s up to you to decide whether you want to use it…

Are you still reading this?? Go buy something already!

Happy New Year! Sorry for the gap between posts. We are finally able to breathe again here. Yes, things were NUTS during the holidays. My cousin David, Ben (our programmer), and I even had to pull an all-nighter packing up orders. We hope you and your families had a beautiful holiday and we wish you a happy and healthy New Year.
Now we can refocus our energies in providing you with even better quality and service.

So, here are 2 small changes that are indicative of our commitment to getting better at what we do and continual improvements on the horizon.

1. Look, feel, and functionality of the site - improved buttons

2. Better Quality - On the right is a large medjool date. On the left is a jumbo medjool date. Although the date on the right is of great quality, the larger and meatier date on the left is even better! Look for similar improvements throughout the year.

We recently added a new option to the checkout process: cute holiday gift cards. For $3, you can pick one of three designs, and we’ll put your message inside and include it in the box when we ship your gift. We’re working on adding more designs for various occasions, but here’s what we’ve got so far:

Merry Christmas:

Happy Holidays:

Happy Chanukah:

Turkish Pistachios, the Antep variety, are finally back in stock!  And they are super fresh and delicious.
