During warm weather months (May – September), there is a $5.00 per case surcharge to cover the costs of expedited shipping when heat sensitive items (those will chocolate) are ordered. Due to sensitivity of some of our products, when transit routes or destination temperatures are over 74 degrees F, orders MUST BE SHIPPED via 2 day delivery. These orders will be shipped with cold packs to protect these products from the heat. Additionally, we may only ship these orders on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday so your order will not be in transit over the weekend.
