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.  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 property.  Click for storing your chocolate

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, not anything over 1 pound, expect slightly higher prices.  Inquire before you buy!  Any order that is two pounds or more will not show your true cost in the shopping cart.  From CA 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 the flat rate.  If a product is 1 pound, even without a cooler, the box and packing will make it a 2 pound package and will be about 1-2.00 more for Fed Ex shipping to the East Coast.  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.

For Shipping Destinations that are 90 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. 

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.

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.  $1.00 extra per pound.

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 at this time.  We offer quantity discounts that start at 12 boxes whether it be favors or gift packs.  The shopping cart will not show the discount, we will email you an invoice with your discount included.

Your Own Ribbon:  Let us know you'd like us to use your own ribbon for favors and send it to us with plenty of time to spare.

Please mail or EMAIL your wedding cake photos to us and we'll post them to the website to share with others.
