    When you were growing up did you always want to be a frozen banana chunk delivery driver?

      Product of Vietnam - almost all frozen IQF bananas are from overseas unfortunately but they're delicious!

      • retiredfeline on 08/07/2018 - 20:52

        What variety?

      • mlakmlak on 08/07/2018 - 21:24

        I saw on this documentary - a while ago & Craig filmed tonnes of bananas going to waste in QLD as they were too big, too bent, or too straight to sell at the supermarkets. I'm guessing this likely wouldn't be an issue for frozen banana chunks.

        • furythree on 08/07/2018 - 23:18

          eh

          bannanas are one of the fruits where being too bent or straight or big is a totally appealing thing

  • rambutann on 08/07/2018 - 18:07

    I paid $1.50 a kilo yesterday at the Queen Vic market… Only to walk a couple of metres and find them for $1 a kilo…

    I think its a great idea though!

    • Associatedsimonbananabox @ The Banana Box on 08/07/2018 - 18:27

      thanks for the support rambutann!

    • ely on 08/07/2018 - 19:22

      I paid $4.5/kg at Vic market yesterday… But only because my wife has a metaphorical hard on for organic.

      OP should consider an organic offering if they haven't already; those credulous enough to buy in, and those that live with them, will stump up some savage surcharges for them.

      • Associatedsimonbananabox @ The Banana Box on 08/07/2018 - 19:32

        Hi ely was that for frozen or fresh bananas?

        The best bit about frozen is NO wastage, your per kilo price is for 100% banana, no peel

        Have a great week! Simon

        • ely on 08/07/2018 - 20:31
          +1

          Fresh, so apples to oranges comparison 🤣

          I'm pointing out the premium that organic attracts (see others posting $1.5/kg bananas) and that many seem to be willing to pay for, as that might possibly be a good option for you to market, not trying to complain about price ;)

  • dylo on 08/07/2018 - 18:09

  • denlife on 08/07/2018 - 18:10

    Good luck with the business, do you have plans for WA? Just found a little spelling error on your website, should be 'throw' instead of 'through':

    'snap frozen & delicious bananas chunks to through straight into your blender each and every morning.'

    • Associatedsimonbananabox @ The Banana Box on 08/07/2018 - 18:29

      Hi denlife thank you for support I will change the error!!

      I only have distribution methods set up in SA/VIC/NSW - until I hit "critical mass" it's just too expensive to store

      Sorry!

    The savvy ozbargainers would go to the market to buy the old bananas for $1 a kilo, but this is a great idea and I hope you do well with it!

    Why wouldn't we buy bananas ourselves, peel, cut and freeze them, and save money?

    • Associatedsimonbananabox @ The Banana Box on 08/07/2018 - 19:34

      You're more than welcome to movieman, I just know having made smoothies for myself and my wife for years that I go through a lot and it's quite a bit of effort.

      These are 2.5kg bags that sit in your freezer ready to go, already peeled and chunked.

      cheers :)

      • movieman on 08/07/2018 - 19:39

        I understand.

        Just trying to understand the convenience of $3 plus per kg.

        DIY - buy 10kg @ $2 = $20.

        Buy from your store - 10kg @ $5 = $50.

        Hence a $30 premium to have it 'delivered' in frozen condition. I'm not willing to pay such an excessive markup.

        • outlander on 08/07/2018 - 20:09
          +2

          "excessive markup" ?

          Boy, are you going to get a shock when you find out how the rest of the world works.

          Btw, your rough calculations assume a pretty optimistic buy price, and don't account for the weight of the skins

        • Yesall on 08/07/2018 - 20:44

          Did you account for the cost of the banana peel?

        • whooah1979 on 08/07/2018 - 20:48

          @outlander:

          Eat the bananas and use the peels on your skin.

          @Yesall:

          USDA lists raw banana peel as 36% refuse.

          So 10kg of raw bananas should be ~6.4kg edible bananas or $3.125 p/kg.

          weight of the skins

          The peel should be ~36% of the fruit.

          @Yesall:

          Yes, sure did. 'rambutann'.above mentioned they bought bananas at Queen Victoria Market for $1.50 per kg, and also found then for $1 per kg, hence why the above calcs were based on $2 to account for peel.

          Each to their own, just seems poor value.

        • outlander on 11/07/2018 - 11:47

          @movieman:

          So now I gotta go all the way to the Queen Vic market to buy bananas? Thats an hour in, an hour out. Even at minimum wage thats $50 worth of time spend to save a few dollars. THAT is poor value

  • Yesall on 08/07/2018 - 20:48

    I'd love to support your business. Just one issue, the frozen banana half box is 38 dollars for 5kg but the box is only 49 dollars for 10 kg. I understand this business strategy but I live alone and cannot consume so many bananas in a short time. People like me may pass if they are in the same situation.

    • Associatedsimonbananabox @ The Banana Box on 09/07/2018 - 12:16

      Hi Yesall what state are you in? I will see if I can PM you with a special discount code if you're interested

      Simon

      • Associatedsimonbananabox @ The Banana Box on 11/07/2018 - 20:18

        Hi @Yesall I have made some adjustments to the pricing (free shipping) so it's become quite affordable to give it a try.

        Trust you'll enjoy it

    K-K-K Queensland b-b-b bananas, they’re the best bananas in the world!

    Any delivery available for Qld?

  • whooah1979 on 09/07/2018 - 05:40

    The obvious question here is do you’ve a food authority certificate and what is the number?

    This isn't a bargain, their whole claim is being cheaper, but they are more expensive.

    Coles/Woolworths is $30.90kg. They are $55

    Your fruit shop will be cheaper.

    These are Vietnam bananas as well… terrible!

    No reason to pay more for bananas that have been processed and frozen by some random person.

    Its better to use fresh bananas in your smoothie.

    Bananas also last for ages.

    • Associatedsimonbananabox @ The Banana Box on 22/07/2018 - 21:41

      Sam our's are $55 for 10kg, not 1kg

        Coles/Woolies are $30.90 for 10kg is what I meant.

        And thats for Australian bananas, not Vietnam bananas

  • Savas on 23/07/2018 - 00:45

    Not sure how I came across this, but I am disgusted you are selling Vietnam bananas. Also the price is a rip off, even if they are peeled and how did you get $10/kg for bananas??
