CHOCOLATE SHIPPING
POLICY
Perishable Chocolate Items are shipped October to May only.
(High temperatures and low stock will dictate cut off time in May.)
1. Anytime the high temperatures
reach 62°F to 80° at any point enroute from Indiana to your destination (even during the winter months),
please order
our Insulated Shipping Package
for your chocolate items. Each Insulated Shipping
Package (Item #30000) can hold up to 4 chocolate products or
1 case of chocolate cups.
Please order the appropriate number of Insulated Shipping Packages
to hold all of your ordered chocolate items. (Item #30000 is listed
below and within the various Chocolate Product Categories.)
Note: Warm weather shipping expenses may be kept to a minimum by
ordering more chocolate products at one time (up to 4 chocolate
items per Insulated Shipping Package) which helps to
defray each item's overall shipping cost. Or, you could combine
your order with a family member or friend to reduce the
shipping cost to each person.
2. The added weight and size of the
Insulated Packing materials (for chocolate items)
will also slightly increase the shipping costs.
This extra weight is added into the
Insulated Shipping Package(s) to calculate the correct
shipping cost.
3. When the high temperatures reach 80°F or above,
(at any point enroute) contact Customer Service for options.
Reminder: It is also necessary to consider the effects of the
temperatures and sun on the delivery vehicles. It is not
uncommon for the inside tempertures of trucks/vans to
rise well above 100°F!
4. High temperatures or special circumstances often
dictate that orders containing Chocolate Products need to
be shipped via Express Mail.
Contact Customer Service by phone for this option.
5. At the other extreme, if temperatures are cooler
than forecasted, we will make every effort to ship your Chocolate
Items without incurring the extra cost. If you have ordered online
and have purchased an Insulated Shipping Package that is not required,
we will refund the savings back to you via Paypal.
6. It is ultimately the customer's decision whether
or not to purchase our chocolate products during warm weather
conditions.
Please note that even though we take
every precaution, Nifty Foods, LLC d.b.a. Nif-t-Foods Dessert
Emporium can not assume any liability in regard to
damaged or melted chocolate shipped under adverse conditions.
7. Please review our
Chocolate Shipping Hints
to help insure that your chocolate products will arrive
safely.
