Chocolate that is going to a warm weather destination (70º or higher), must be shipped with warm-weather packaging. If you are shipping chocolate to a warm weather destination, you must add gel packs to your order and choose UPS 2nd Day Air or Overnight service as your shipping option. We cannot be responsible for chocolate shipped to a place where temperatures exceed 70º anywhere along the shipping route if the item is not shipped with gel packs and Overnight service. This is not a problem to most destinations during the winter months of November through April, but we recommend checking the weather before sending a gift of chocolate.
