Chocolate is very sensitive to temperature so please keep the following in mind when placing your order.
We ship from our chocolate factory in Houston, Texas.
We do our best to offer same-day shipping, but we like to make everything to order so that it is as fresh as possible when it arrives at your door. We will attempt to get orders placed before 2pm CST Monday-Wednesday shipped the same day, but depending on the weather and the availability it may take up to 48 hours for your order to get shipped out.
We typically do not ship orders on weekends or holidays. Because temperatures vary across the country, we may choose not to ship on Thursdays or Fridays if we do not expect your package to arrive before the weekend. We will ship on Thursdays if Overnight shipping is selected, or if the temperature is cool enough for the product to make it in perfect condition.
Delivery
We are testing out delivery in the Houston area! You can now order delivery via GrubHub or Cornershop.
Order Pick-Up
If you live in Houston or nearby, you can pick up your order by appointment at our commercial kitchen. Place your order online and select Pick-Up as your shipping option at checkout. On the order confirmation page, you will be able to select a pick-up day and time.
We are typically available Monday-Friday, 10am-3pm for pick-ups, but you will see on the calendar when you are scheduling your pick-up if those hours change.
If you accidentally close the window before scheduling your pick-up, you can schedule it here: Schedule My Order Pick-Up
*Please do not schedule a pick-up unless you have already placed an order online or over the phone, so we can have it ready for you when you arrive!
