COLDPAK SHIPPING INFORMATION
For the
warmer summer months
(May thru September
or to very warm climates, anytime)
(temperatures over
68-72 degrees "plus
warm delivery
truck"),
we offer a
special
re-usable, insulated
shipping cold pack
for which we add
$7.00 to the
shipping charge.
The pack remains
cold for two to
three days while
your chocolate is in
transit.
It is your decision
as to whether to add
the cold pak.
You will be asked to
decide on our
shopping cart order
page.
If you are not sure
as to whether the
cold pak should be
added,
you will have the
option of allowing
us to make the
decision for you
based on weather
conditions in the
ship-to area.
~
PLEASE NOTE:
~
We cannot be
responsible
for the condition of
your chocolate order
upon arrival,
if weather
conditions dictate
that it should be
cold paked
but you do not
choose the cold pak
option
or allow us to make
the decision in your
best interest.
~
ABOUT STANDARD
SHIPPING CHARGES:
~
Your chocolate order
will be shipped
via US Post
Office using their
Priority Mail Service.
We want
to ship your
order in the
least
expensive way
but
because it IS
chocolate
and IS perishable,
we
ship with the
carrier that
helps
us do the
best job in getting
the
order to you in
perfect condition.
You will pay ONLY
what it costs to do
that.
Standard
shipping time is
normally one to
three days
once your completed
order has left The
Chocolate Vault.
If you need a
specific time,
feel free to give us
a call at
800-525-1165 and
we'll do our best to
pin it down for you.

SHOPPING CART ORDERS
UNDER $80
~
The Shopping
Cart will ask you
for the
first three digits
of the zip code
you
are sending
to as you
begin the ordering
process.
This means the
zip
code for the area
you are
shipping to
or the destination.
If you do not
fill
out this
information, the cart
cannot figure your
shipping charge
automatically,
so the charge
will not show up on
your order
confirmation sheet.
However, the charge
will be added to the
total on your order.

SHOPPING
CART ORDERS
OVER $80
~
Since we have over
16,000 molded
chocolate
choices,
your
order can have a
unique
combination of
weights determined
by the items you
have chosen
(with different
weights and
dimensions)
and
the shipping charges
must be calculated
on actual weight.
We also have to
factor in the chocolate
weight,
the weight of
the carton,
packing
materials and
seasonal cold
paks.
Therefore we need to
pack
your order
after first
checking the weather
in your area to
determine if
cold paking is
necessary.
We then weigh and
measure the carton
(some orders are
charged by
weight and
some by dimension by
the carrier)
along
with checking the
zip code.
This, along with the
insurance and
delivery
confirmation,
determines the cost
of shipping.
We believe you
should only pay for
the service you
receive and we've
designed
our
shipping policy with
you in mind. We
appreciate your
trust and we hope
you
will
continue to buy from
The
Chocolate
Vault for many
years.
