When I was a kid, my parents would always get these oranges from a friend of my Dad's for Christmas...there's be one in each of our stockings on Christmas morning. They were huge, it seemed to me, nearly the size of grapefruit. But more importantly, they were so darn good! Juicy and sweet, nary a sour one amongst them. I'd like to get some of these for my parents, and was wondering if anyone here knew a good source for them? I've looked at several sites for mail order but I'm always leery of that without having any word of mouth to go by.
Harry and David, www.harryanddavid.com, have fruit beyond compare, but I will warn you, they also have a price to match.

I know the kind you mean. You can get them at roadside stands in Florida, and half the box never makes it back to the hotel because they're so good. I'd like a source, too.
