No one wants to receive melted chocolate–we get that. Learn more about how we ship your package so it arrives looking just as it did coming out of the kitchen.
- We are very pleased to now offer UPS services for safe and timely delivery of your chocolate (note: we may use USPS for deliveries to PO Boxes).
- Please reference the UPS Ground transit time map below. In some cases transit times for UPS Economy may be equal to or faster than UPS 3 day. When choosing UPS 3 day, we will prioritize filling your order and ship using the fastest service available.
- Order processing time may take up to three business days, sometimes longer leading up to major holidays. Timely delivery is optimized when orders are placed 10+ business days prior to a holiday.
- Our chocolates are packaged to withstand shipping from coast to coast. To ensure optimal delivery, each package is carefully wrapped and padded to protect our chocolates.
- When shipping in warmer weather, we use frozen gel packs and an insulated container to keep your chocolates from melting. To prevent melting, orders received Wednesday-Friday will ship the following Monday to reduce the time spent in transit and ensure your candy's safe arrival.
- Due to the perishable nature of our chocolates, we are unable to ship outside the US.
