We constantly monitor the weather to protect our chocolate from the heat. If your order will be passing through a warm region, especially during the summer months, occasionally we have to expedite the order. Although we pack it with ice, in an insulated bag, we want to ensure your chocolates arrive in the best condition possible.
Please note that we do not profit from the shipping charges; we actually do not charge for the additional weight to your order from the ice packs and insulated bag that are included for free when weather requires for us to do so.
