Summer Shipping

AS OF JUNE 6, WE HAVE A NEW SHIPPING CATEGORY FOR THE HOTTEST STATES, WHERE EXPRESS ONE DAY SHIPPING IS MANDATORY TO DELIVER OUR PRODUCT INTACT.  THESE PACKAGES WILL HAVE A MINIMUM OF 3 LBS OF ICE PACKS IN AN INSULATED BOX.  AS A UPS CORPORATE CUSTOMER, OUR RATE IS ABOUT $80, DEPENDING ON DESTINATION. (AS A CONSUMER, IT WOULD COST YOU $235 TO SHIP THAT SAME PACKAGE.)

Getting your chocolate gift to its destination in perfect condition is THE goal.  We now use UPS for the majority of our destinations, unless the address is a P.O. Box.

We ship early in the week to avoid weekend transit days.  For two day destinations, if your order is placed after Wednesday, it will ship the following Monday. We will delay shipping if there is a big heatwave, and will advise you of the delay.

All orders placed after June 1 will be packed in insulated recyclable boxes with ice pack(s).

FOR YOU TO DO: 

Better no surprise than chocolate soup!  Please tell your recipient a gift is coming and to bring it inside right away.  No package, even with insulation/ice packs, will resist hours in the hot sun or hot mailbox.
