Sunday Holidays

To ensure a timely arrival for a Sunday holiday, such as Easter, Mother’s/Father’s Day, please use these guidelines. 

• Nationwide ground delivery: Order by Friday, one week prior to the holiday, before 10 a.m. PST.
• Northwest ground/two-day delivery: Order by the Wednesday before the holiday, before 10 a.m. PST
• Next-day delivery: order by the Thursday before the holiday, before 10 a.m. PST.

Fixed-Date Holidays

For holidays with fixed dates, such as Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or birthdays, please remember that UPS uses business days to calculate shipping times. For example, if you need chocolates by Tuesday, your two-day shipping order needs to be received before 10 a.m. PST, by the Thursday before, as Saturday and Sunday are not business days.

Summer Shipping Options

Between May 1 and October 31, we take extra precautions to make sure your chocolates arrive cool, and in the best condition possible.

When temperatures in destination city or in a shipping hub city reach 70° Fahrenheit, our standard shipping option is next-day, with shipments leaving our production facility Monday through Thursday. You may request next-day shipment on a Friday, but you’ll be charged a Saturday delivery fee.
