We ship our chocolates in many countries around the world using the following transport companies: Bpost, DHL or Shippr.
You are responsible for the choice of the transport company during the checkout process. Each of them got different conditions of transport.

For every order you place on our website, you will receive a tracking number via email once the parcel is leaving us and has been confirmed with the courrier. The tracking number becomes functional once the parcel is collected, and the barcode is scanned for the first time in the depot.

During transit, this barcode is scanned at every depot, updating the tracking system. We recommend forwarding the parcel tracking number to the recipient of the shipment and following the status of your parcel periodically. If the status in the tracking system has not changed in more than 48 hours, please send us a message, and we will check the situation with the carrier.

Items are packed to the best of our ability but we cannot guarantee against damages occurring during transport. If we feel that an item is too fragile to be shipped using the usual carriers (it does not concern local deliveries with Shippr), it is noted as such on the website with a "fragile" note.

You will see the following mention appearing in the specifications: "Fragile: transport at your own risk".

By buying these fragile items, you recognize to have been informed that the chocolates may break during the transport and you accept that we decline our responsibility in case it happens.

Chocolate and candy can be sensitive to excessive heat or cold or sun exposure. We never shipped chocolates when the outside temperature is less than 12°C or higher than 24°C (celsius degrees). In that scenario, orders are delayed until the temperature is cooling down or up. We monitor the weather conditions before shipping and will try to get your order delivered during "cooler days" and by the requested date. However, if we feel that the temperatures are too high or too cold, we will let you know. You can then opt to wait or have it shipped at your own risk.

On extremely warm or cold days, we reserve the right to hold a shipment to ensure that your order arrives in optimum condition.

When possible, we recommend that items be shipped to a business address rather than a residence. This will help to keep your parcel in a temperature controlled environment as long as possible and not sitting in a mailbox or on a front porch.

We will do our best to ensure that your order arrives in good condition however we are not responsible for melting or other damage caused by heat or cold exposure during shipping. We can’t guarantee these heat or cold sensitive chocolates will arrive in perfect shape – but we will do our best to insure they do – including adding ice packs.

We are not liable for a requested date being missed due to a courier issue or weather conditions. Orders are shipped with the intent of allowing adequate* time for transit, in order to for you to receive the order by your requested date.

Please ensure that you check the shipment prior to signing the paperwork from the driver.

Any missing chocolate item or damage must be noted on the driver's paperwork. We must also be notified of any missing chocolate or damage within 24 hours of receiving the shipment so we can deal with accordingly. Pictures will be required by the courier to prove the damages.

We may be able to assist with a transport claim (if severely damaged or lost) but only if the above steps were followed. Please note that this does not guarantee that any refund will be issued. Each case is different, and will be reviewed on an individual basis.
