Amelia Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Shipping mistake, vanished packages turn into juicy holiday delight December 21, 2007 Associated Press HOOD RIVER, Ore. -- A vanished batch of packages from a Hood River fruit company turned into a holiday delight for some cancer patients in Maine. The Fruit Company, which sells gourmet fruit, typically sends out more than 6,000 gifts a day with little problem. But sometimes mistakes happen. At the height of the busy season this week, 80 packages disappeared and couldn't be found. Eventually the recipient called. A technical glitch had sent all 80 boxes to the Maine Center for Cancer Medicine. The center got to play Santa for the patients -- many of whom were struggling through snowstorms to get to their chemotherapy treatment. The company says they are thrilled the glitch ended in such an amazing way. The Fruit Company created new packages for the 80 intended recipients and sent them overnight to arrive Friday.
