TRACKING YOUR PACKAGE
You will receive your tracking number via email upon shipment and we will keep you informed of the progress of your package each step of the way until final delivery. At such time, a delivery receipt notification will be emailed to you within 3 hours of delivery with the name of the consignee as well as the local time of delivery. Our monitoring service tracks each package in real time as soon as they ship. If for any reason there is a delay (or the possibility of a delay) in delivery we will know right away and will contact you accordingly.
OUR SUMMER PACKAGING
Chocolates do not like temperature variations, which is why we use temperature-controlled packaging with insulated containers and refrigerant packs to maintain an interior temperature between 15°C and 20°C (59°F and 67°F) until delivery, regardless of the outside weather and temperature. This summer packaging allows us to guarantee delivery of your chocolates in perfect conditions anywhere in the world, all year round. Upon review of your order, a customer service representative will decide whether to use our summer packaging based on your recipient's local weather and temperature. There is no action required on your part and this service is complimentary.
DELIVERING DURING SUMMER TIME
During the summer months in the Northern or Southern hemisphere, we may choose to ship your order prematurely or delay shipment due to local and transit temperatures. This is because our chocolates are sensitive to heat, as they don’t contain preservatives and have very low sugar content. By changing the shipping date of your package, we reduce the risk of it being stored in a warm facility over the weekend and therefore can guarantee freshness upon delivery anywhere in the world. We will, accordingly, inform you shall we decide to change the shipping date.
*CUSTOM DUTIES AND LOCAL TAXES
Our USD 18.95 shipping fee is inclusive of all custom duty fees and local taxes worldwide so that your gift recipient does not have to pay anything upon delivery - except for the following countries where local custom offices do not allow delivery duties paid or with complicated custom clearance processes:
Although we ship to all above countries, if custom duties are applied, they are paid by your gift recipient upon delivery, for all other countries, custom duties and local taxes are already paid and included in our USD 18.95 shipping fee.
Please note that in some instances, the custom clearance process may delay delivery. For more information about shipping times and duty policies in a specific country, please refer to our International gift delivery by country page.
TEMPORARY FUEL SURCHARGE
As you may have heard, businesses have been struck hard by an unprecedented 30% increase in express shipping costs since March 2022. Many businesses have passed along the entirety of these fuel surcharges to customers. Thus far we have absorbed 100% of the added expense. Starting September 1st we began passing along two thirds of this cost to customers by charging an additional 3.5 EUR per item ordered. This is a temporary “fuel surcharge” we hope to drop soon.
