  the vendor told me $6 per box, buy 2 get 1 free.
  
  i told him ok.
  
  the boss came over and told me, "buy the $8 box it taste much better."
  
  i said if buy 2 get 1 free ok. he started packing.
  
  i gave him $20 and he gave me the durian without any change.
  
  i asked him, "buy 2 $8 box get one free, you should give me a change of $4."
  
  knnbccb, he told me 3 boxes for $20. the one box free is only given for $6 boxes.
  
  i told him in this case i dont want. cb, he started telling me grandmother stories.
  
  i gave up and left.

  Try not to buy durians that are packed in boxes.
  
  My bro went to buy once, 3 for $10 and they were rotting or tasteless liao.. really waste money. I tried all, but only ate one and threw the rest.

  i have the same experience too.
  
  all 3 boxes tasteless.
  
  the problem is durians are mostly sold this way nowadays.

  buy fresh ones, ask them to pack for u,
  
  chinatown or serangoon stall will be good.

  If you buy the ones with shell , when you open it most likely the smell and taste will be stronger than those open before. My mum nvr buy any durian which is opened , not even a slit by the shell
