We want your chocolates to arrive in perfect condition. Therefore we:- Ship Monday through Wednesday (and Thursday for Next Day) to avoid the chocolates hanging around over the weekend.
- Offer only “insulated packaging” options during the Summer months as all continental US delivery destinations are warmer than 70°F (21°C). There is a $5 charge to cover the cost of the insulated packaging. We do this to avoid chocolate soup!

except P.O. Boxes addresses. Please go to
www.hotelchocolat.co.uk for shipments to non-US destinations world-wide.
How are the rates calculated?The rates reflect UPS standard charges and are passed directly to you
