WARM WEATHER CONSIDERATION:  We want your chocolate to arrive in the same high quality condition that it left our store.  For that reason, we strongly recommend that you select the shipping option that uses ICE and a specially designed box between May and September for destinations where the daytime temperatures exceed 70 degrees.  This option costs more but we think that it is worth it to keep your order cool in transit.  We cannot be responsible for orders shipped without ice during these months.  If you have any questions, please contact us.  UPS Second Day Air or Overnight Shipping options will automatically be shipped in the special insulated box with ice. 

NOTE: While we do our best to advise customers of the approximate arrival date of their order, it is impossible for us to know precisely when the carrier will deliver an order as factors such as weather, routing and delivery schedules impact that circumstance.  The time of delivery is certainly outside our influence so customers with specific delivery date/time requirements are asked to clearly indicate that requirement in their order so that we can advise them of the best delivery option and pricing to meet their needs.  The best advice is always to order as far in advance as possible.

Our shipping calculator will show you options from both United Parcel Service (UPS) and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) so you can compare shipping costs and select the most appropriate for your needs.  The U.S. Post Office's Priority Mail will ship most packages anywhere in the continental United States in 2-3 days.  Express Mail offers overnight service to most areas.

The map below shows UPS Ground shipping time from our Marcellus, New York location to points across the country.  This can be helpful to you in evaluating when it might be appropriate in hot weather to upgrade to UPS 2nd Day Air for your order as our cold-pack boxes will keep your chocolate cool in transit for 2-3 days.  Use this as a guide and contact us if you any specific questions or concerns.
