Place Your Order By Noon

Shipping Fulfillment

We ship our retail products using FedEx. Therefore, we cannot ship to a P.O. Box. If you live in the Continental United States, you can use our online Shopping Cart to place your order. Place your order by noon to ship out the same day. Orders placed after noon will ship out the following business day. However, because our products are made by hand in small batches, they are subject to inventory availability. 


Warm Weather Shipping

During warm weather conditions, we will take extra precautions, including insulated packaging & freezer gel packs to keep your chocolates cool, ensuring your chocolates arrive in the best possible condition. When temperatures in the order’s destination city or anywhere along the shipping route reach 70°F, we urge you to select Overnight Shipping.

Orders leave our production facility Monday through Wednesday until 1PM. We may hold your package for shipping until the following Monday to ensure the least amount transit time under these circumstances.


Hot Weather Shipping

From May to September, you may choose Ground shipping when delivery will occur within 1 day. (See map above.) These orders leave our facility Monday through Wednesday until 1PM. Ground Shipping availability varies throughout the year based on the temperatures and time in transit.

Please be aware, given the current shipping situations with carriers, carriers are not guaranteeing transit times for any express shipping options.

Only one discount or promotional code can be used per order. For example, the 10% off newsletter sign up code cannot be used in combination with a free shipping promotion.
