After your order is completed
and packaged ready to ship, we will know the exact weight and
dimensions of the package.
At that time, we will contact you to let you know whether the
shipping was estimated correctly. If shipping is less than the
amount on this chart, it will be refunded or credited to you
(your choice). If shipping is more, we will let you know.
Shipping Chocolate
Items
For chocolate products, we can
ship by fast overnight or 2-3 day delivery. We strongly recommend
sending chocolate by Overnight or Priority mail because of
potential melting problems. We can ship basic to save
money if you choose, but please remember that in that case we're
not responsible if it melts. Also, to make sure that your
chocolate arrives in perfect shape, we might not be able to ship
over the weekend.
Prices include basic packing
materials and insulation. However, really hot summer weather may
require extra materials to prevent your chocolate from melting. This special packaging will be
$5.00 extra to cover
the costs. We'll do everything we can
to make sure your chocolate gets to you in good condition!
We do
suggest that during the really warm months (typically,
May-October), that you order wrappers only for
chocolate items.
Naturally, we will
let you know what day to expect it. Please try to make sure that
someone is there to accept delivery so that the package is not
left outdoors in potentially warm weather. You don't want your
chocolate to melt right on your doorstep! If the package is left out in the
sun, we cannot be held responsible.
Shipping
non-chocolate items
If you are ordering
wrappers-only or hard candy, or another type of personalized
item, you may wish to choose something more economical. We can use any of the following
methods, whichever is preferable.
- USPS Priority
- USPS Overnight
- UPS Overnight
- DHL Overnight
- UPS Ground
- DHL Ground
Local pickup and
delivery
Delivery is available for the
immediate Tacoma area only, but you are welcome to come to our
location for pickup. Please contact
us for driving directions.
Insurance
If you prefer, you may add
postal insurance to your order. Postal Insurance will cover your
order if it gets lost or damaged during shipment. The cost of
insurance is 5% of your total order. (Example: If you ordered
$90.00 worth of favors plus $10.00 shipping, the total would be
$100.00 for your order and the insurance would be an additional
$5.00.)
Please note - postal insurance
will not cover it if the delivery records for your item show
"DELIVERED" from its assigned tracking#. If a package
is stolen from your porch or mailbox, it is not covered.
Insurance only covers items *NOT* delivered to your address, or
if items were damaged in transit.
If your item does show
"delivered" but you did not receive it, please contact
your local Post office, DHL, or UPS. Give them the tracking #
and explain the circumstances. Sometimes they have it at the
post office because they were unable to deliver it to you - for
example if it required a signature and no one was at home.
Sometimes items will show
delivered but in fact were returned to sender without making
another attempt to deliver. In that case it will take about 7
days for us to get it back. If that happens, we will definitely
contact you and re-ship.
