CHOCOLATE SHIPPING HINTS Perishable Chocolate Items are shipped October to May only. (High temperatures and low stock will dictate cut off time in May.) 1. Plan Ahead - If stored properly in a cool and dry environment our chocolate items can last 6 months to a year. Therefore, if you have a special functions planned for late spring to early autumn, order your chocolate items in the winter or early spring. On a more immediate timetable, order your chocolate items at least 2 weeks before you wish to have delivery. For faster delivery, contact Customer Service for Express Shipping. 2. Plan for Delivery - Make sure that someone will be at the shipping address on the day you expect delivery so your package won't sit out in the heat or sun. Or, consider having your order shipped to your work address (if you are able to receive packages there). Another option is to ship your package(s) to your Post Office Box. 3. Anytime the high temperatures reach 62°F or above at any point enroute from Indiana to your destination (even during the winter months), please order the Item #30000 Insulated Shipping Package for your chocolate items. (Item #30000 is listed below and within the various Chocolate Product Categories) The Insulated Shipping Packages are limited to what they can hold. Each Insulated Shipping carton can hold about 4 individual chocolate items OR 1 case of chocolate cups. Please order the appropriate number of Insulated Shipping Packages (Item # 30000) to hold all of your chocolate products ordered. 4. Minimize Shipping Costs by combining orders with family, friends, neighbors or co-workers. This is always true, but it is an especially helpful tip when it comes to defraying the extra costs associated with shipping chocolate during the warm weather. Reminder: Each Insulated Shipping Package/Carton can hold up to 4 individual chocolate items. 5. Check Your Order Immediately Upon Arrival! Be especially careful when checking or handling the chocolate items. It may be helpful to place the chocolate items in a very cool environment for a period of time, before handling, to assure that they are not too soft. 6. You Can Reuse The Gel Packs that are shipped with your chocolate. Simply re-freeze each gel pack for at least 24 hours before using. Then just slip them into your lunch box or picnic basket to keep foods cool. Use them over & over again! 7. Consider Alternatives during the summer months. Perhaps you could utilize our Pre-Made Pastry & Tart Shells. Pay special attention to our Chocolate Pastry Tart Shells. Decorate with our Sugar Flowers, Praligrains or Candied Lemon Strips which are easy to ship and use all year around. 8. Also please review our Chocolate Shipping Policies.
