• WOW. When the weather heats up we start to pay close attention to shipping destinations. Heat and chocolate can ruin the best of surprises.  We will prepare your package very carefully and for warm climate states in the south such as Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California we require warm weather packaging and USPS Priority (2-3 business days) or Express Overnight shipping, depending on the forecast. From May through the end of September we may suspend shipping altogether or insist on overnight delivery. If necessary we will contact you to talk about the weather. Should you decide to cancel your order we will refund you via Pay Pal.
