Candy Pearls, Bags,
Gloves, Etc. Important Information:
All of our chocolate shells are hand made fresh for you and considered a special
order. Please allow
extra time for delivery if your order is large or during a holiday season.
You are responsible for letting us know when you need your order by in the
special instructions/card message line that is on the billing page of the
shopping cart.
Cooler packs are required during warm weather,
this will approximately add 2-5 extra pounds. See our shipping page for
more details.
Shipping prices will be adjusted for anything over 1 pound from our
standard shipping rate
to the Midwest/east coast. Cooler packs are only shipped on Monday through
Wednesday so that they are delivered before or by the weekend. Fed Ex overnight
orders may be shipped on Thursday. Please, no cancellations once you place your
order. You may amend it by adding or changing the style, but once work
starts, we cannot make any changes or refunds. If you would like more than
one color/flavor, there is a 1.50 charge for each color split per pound, we
limit one split per pound (2 colors in one box). Send us an email
immediately after you place your order
with special instructions or enter in the special instructions box on the
billing page. If you need a sample order, please order
a small box or single package from our web site. We do not
have free samples. We recommend you order cotton gloves to
handle your chocolates, offered at the bottom of this page.
Shipping
Timelines: If you need your order by a specific date, write
this in the DUE DATE line when you check out in the billing section or
send us an email after you place your order. Any standard
shipping order over 2 pounds or has more than 36 pkgs/favor box will take a little
longer than the standard shipping timeline. Any order over 4
pounds or has more than 50 pkgs/favor box might take about three weeks
to make.
Larger orders, please ask what delivery dates might be. When we are
in a high wedding season in spring or it is a holiday
season, expect delays. If you need your order for a rush delivery,
we do add a service fee and Fed Ex shipping charges. Please ask us
if we can meet your deadline before you place your order. We make
your chocolates by hand and they are made fresh to order, they are not
on a shelf waiting to be purchased. If you want to pre-order,
indicate that you want the order shipped at or by a certain date.
If you want to order a month or two in advance, the chocolate will stay
fresh for about that long or longer and if they are stored properly.
We typically ship with two weeks before you need your order unless you
specify otherwise.

Rush Orders:
There is a surcharge of 10%
for large orders (4 pounds or more) that need to be rushed with less
than two week's notice with standard delivery. Any Fed Ex
orders that are small (orders you want us to ship within a 24-48 hour time frame)
will have a 10% rush fee. Any order for 4 pounds or less that need
to be shipped with a week's notice will have a 20% surcharge added. Anything
larger than that may not be possible, but please inquire. The
reason for the surcharge is because we have to pay employees overtime to
stay and complete your order. Again, please remember, your
chocolates are not stocked, they are freshly made to order and that
should make you feel great about ordering from us! Shipping Costs:
The shopping cart shows prices for novelty and light orders. Expect slightly higher prices mainly for East
Coast and Midwest shipping for orders that are 1 pound and over. Any order that is two pounds or more
might not show your true cost in the
shopping cart. From WA to the East Coast and Midwest we might be
able to flat rate packages from 2-10+ pounds depending on the type of
product you purchase. If a package needs a cooler pack, we cannot
ship with a flat rate. If a product is 1 pound, even without a
cooler, the box and packing will make it a 3 pound package and will be
about 2-5.00 more for Fed Ex shipping to the East Coast and Midwest. When you figure the shipping weight,
always add on 2 pounds extra for a 2 pound order, 3 pounds extra for 3-10
pounds, etc. The packing material, ice pack, cooler or shipping box, boxes used to
package your chocolates in all need to be factored into the shipping weight
total. You can get more shipping info from our
Shipping
page for our terms or the
US Postal web site or
Fed Ex.
Our zip code is 98584. We highly recommend you use Fed Ex 2 day
for cooler pack shipping and Fed Ex overnight for temperatures over 90
degrees. We're looking out for you and
trying to save you money, we'll ship with the best, fastest and most
economical way we can. Inquire about shipping before you buy!
Please go to our shipping page, link on left, to view our full terms of
costs and shipping. Email us for quotes if you'd like.
Hot Weather Shipping Recommendation For Destinations that are 85 degrees or higher:
We recommend that you use Fed Ex overnight and let us know if your order is not a rush order
in the 'special instructions' line when you check out. You will be
charged a rush fee if you do not specify that it is not a rush order!
Please feel free to email us if you have any questions. More
cooler pack info for chocolate is below this table. Remember, if
the delivery vehicle is NOT air conditioned, the inside temperature
could be 10-20 degrees hotter than the outside temperature. Styles/Sizes: If our selection of
chocolates do not represent what you are looking for, please let us know what you'd like to have
especially made for you. You may email us or enter in the special
instructions box in the shopping cart what size and style of shells you
prefer. If you want all shells to be smaller than average from our
normal selection, we do charge 10% more per pound. We do not sell
1/2 pounds of chocolates. If you don't need a whole pound, you
will find 6 oz. gift boxes on our site and you must specify that you
want them bulk packed instead of gift packed. Special Colors Not Shown on
Site/Custom Colors:
Send us a swatch if you have time and we'll
match the color as closely as we can. We'll let you know if we're
having trouble getting it to what you'd like. We cannot email you
color samples or guarantee that the colors that you see with your
computer on our web site will be what you are getting exactly.
Colors like sand will be beige, and the rest are pretty clear, but if
you have any requests for what we don't have listed, let us know and
we'll try to make what you want. We can't list every shade and we
don't have pictures of every color. Quality of Chocolate: To date, we have never had
a complaint about our chocolate we use, always compliments. Our white
chocolate is real white chocolate made with cocoa butter and is not a white
confection that many other companies use. Most people who don't like white
chocolate have commented that they like the brand we use. It has a slight
off white color and complements butter cream icings. Our milk and dark
chocolate are not tempered chocolate, but it is quite tasty. If you are a
dark chocolate connoisseur, you will probably not put this on the top of your
favorites list, but you will appreciate that since it is a non-tempering
chocolate, it will mold beautiful seashells and have a shine and texture that is
wonderful. We do not use chocolate that needs to be tempered so that we
can keeps costs low and production high. Tempered chocolates would indeed
cost twice as much. Please know that our non-tempering chocolate is not
the kind you can buy at the grocery store, this is a professional, high quality
grade that is sold only to bakers.
Flavors:
If you would like a special flavoring added to your chocolates, please
let us know. We have many flavors to choose from such as Grand
Marnier, Tangerine, Egg Nog, Apricot, Peppermint, Lemon, Key Lime, Mocha, Cherry, Banana,
Raspberry, and more, just ask if you need something not listed. $1.50 extra per pound.
We do not flavor chocolates that are less than 1 pound in total weight. Do not mix mint with any other flavor,
the mint scent will mix with the other flavor. How
Much to Order For Wedding Cakes:
Most people order 2 pounds of the decoration package for 100 servings,
3 pounds for 150 - 200 servings. Order some of the large shells
such as the conch for focal points. It's nice to have extra shells
so that each serving of cake will have a shell on the plate. If
you need a small amount of shells and do not need a whole pound, order
the smaller favor boxes and specify that you need them bulk packed and
not gift packed so that the shells do not touch each other in the box.
Wholesale & Quantity Discounts: Our shells are already
priced very low, so if you've shopped around, you might have found that out.
We do not sell wholesale on the bulk boxes at this time.
Quantity discount information is
here. The shopping cart will not
show the discount, we will email you an invoice with your discount included.
Your Own Ribbon, Tags or Stickers For Favors: Let us know you'd like us to
use your own ribbon, tags or stickers for favors and send it to us with plenty of time to spare.
Email us for our mailing address. Please mail or
EMAIL your
wedding cake photos to us and we'll post them to the website to share with
others.

Compliments and Cake Pictures
Click
on photos to enlarge.
I wanted to pass on a picture of my wedding
cake for you. My cake turned out great, and everyone was shocked
to discover the shells were chocolates (they looked so real)! I
received all of my chocolates in time for the wedding. I want to
thank you for making sure I got them in time. Everyone loved
them! We used the Bronzed opal dust on white chocolate. I think
1 and a half pounds were used and about 3 conch shells. We gave
our guests plenty of chocolates, so the extra amounts were
definitely used! Thank you so much! - Jennifer H This is my second order from
Chocolate Fantasies. I was extremely pleased with my first order and the
remarks at the event where they were used. I found you through my cousin,
Kelly Gandy. She used your shells for her parents 50th Anniversary and they
were beautiful. Your prices are reasonable and I look forward to doing business
with you again. Keep up the good work. ~ Theresa H. I made a seashell cake over the weekend for a relatives
30th anniversary. I just had to tell you how pleased I was with the quality of
your product. Ishopped around on line before I ordered and some companies were
so expensive I was afraid I would have to do something else. Thank you for
providing a quality product for an affordable price. When the box came I held my
breath until I saw the beautiful assortment of shells. I am so pleased. Just wanted to tell you that the chocolates were fabulous and
perfect for my wedding reception. Thank you!!!! I received my chocolates the other day and I just would like to
compliment you on the quality of the product. I ordered the bronze
shimmer dusted white chocolate shells and they are beautiful! For the
price, quality and promptness of the order, I'm very impressed with your
company. I received my order today, thank you so much, the
chocolates are beautiful!! I appreciate you working with me, I was very
stressed and so worried that I would not receive my order before we had to leave
town. Thank you again - Myrna H I received the order today! I want to thank you
so much for helping us get this order so quickly. You truly jumped through hoops
to get this chocolate to me by my deadline, and I really appreciate it. -
