Special Handling

Due to the perishable nature of our chocolates, we take special care to ensure the delivery of your chocolates in perfect condition. We pack each box with special insulation and gel ice as needed.

Shipping rates and methods vary by time of year. Typically, from April 15 to October 1, we take extra precautions and ship via 2-Day Air or Next Day Air, as needed. There is an extra charge for this service. We pack each box with special insulation and gel ice to ensure the safe arrival of your chocolates. Delivered pricing is a sensible option for our customers residing in warmer parts of the country. Please contact your sales rep for more information.

For shipments to warm weather destinations and during the Summer months, we ship orders on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday only - to prevent chocolates from sitting on a truck over a weekend and to ensure safe delivery.

Restrictions

Please note that we cannot ship to P.O. Boxes. You must provide a street address for your order. Be sure to include appropriate suite numbers when necessary to ensure proper delivery.

Deliveries are only made on weekdays. UPS does not deliver on weekends. We may choose not to ship an order over the weekend to ensure perfect condition upon receipt.

Due to the perishable nature of our chocolates, we are not able to ship outside of the U.S.
