When we first started our business in 2010, we knew we would be shipping an item that was both fragile and perishable. We wanted to make sure that the chocolates that we spent so much time and thought on taste, texture and appearance would arrive to the recipient in the best possible condition. That's one of the reasons why we "make fresh to order".
We put the same thought and care that go into crafting EHChocolatier’s confections into ensuring that they arrive at their destinations fresh, beautiful and ready to be enjoyed. We’ve employed a rigorous testing process to perfect our shipping method so you can order our chocolates from anywhere in the U.S. at any time of the year including during warm weather months.
**Please make every effort to notify the recipient that a package will be arriving, as we cannot be responsible for items left unattended in warm weather.
Once the package has left our hands, we cannot assume responsibility for the following:
- Delays caused by the shipping company
- Damage or theft of packages after the package has been delivered to the specified address
- Returned or delayed packages due to an incorrect or undeliverable shipping address
- Packages left unattended outside in warm weather
We will typically ship within 3 business days from the time the order is placed.*
The most economical shipping rate is USPS Priority. However, the time line given (i.e. 2-day, 3-day, etc.) is only an estimate. USPS doesn’t guarantee delivery within that timeframe. During most of the year, it is a very accurate indicator of delivery time, but around any holiday, it will most likely NOT arrive in the timeframe listed.
If you would like a guaranteed delivery day, please choose UPS or FEDEX (but remember, since we make to order, it may take up to 3 days before the shipment leaves our shop.)

Can I order online and pick up chocolates at your shop?
Yes! Choose “pick up” under shipping options when placing your order. Please note it can take up to 3 business days to complete the order. We will be in touch once the order is ready for pick up at our store.
If this is a time sensitive order, please contact us directly to see if we are able to fulfill the order the same day.

Do you ship to P.O. Boxes or international addresses?
We do not ship to P.O. Boxes and only ship within the continental U.S. at this time.
How do you ship chocolates in the summer or to warm climate?
Since we strive to have our products arrive to you in perfect condition, we take special care when shipping during warm months. From May 1 - October 1, and year round to warm climates such as Arizona, Texas, Florida, Southern California we require warm weather packaging and USPS Priority (2-3 business days) or Express Overnight shipping. For this reason, shipping during warmer months will be more expensive than during the winter months.
We strongly suggest choosing Overnight shipping if your order is shipping to a hot climate (above 85 F). If we feel that it is not safe for the chocolates to be shipped due to melting risk, we will contact you directly to make alternative plans.
Summer is the most expensive time to ship chocolates and we will only pass along to you the actual cost of packaging materials and shipping.
