Beginning in January 2010, we will no longer stock assorted boxed chocolates. We will continue to offer novelty chocolates, and chocolates that are more stable, and offer a longer shelf life. Over the last 9 years, we have found it impossible to have chocolates shipped into Florida, and to store them without damage, due to the high temps and the humidity in Florida. While they may arrive in good condition, they generally degrade too quickly, making them cost prohibitive, for us, and the consumer.
The only way for us, and you, to be assured of getting fresh chocolates, and chocolates that are not 'bloomed', is to buy them fresh, when you order. This option only allows us to purchase chocolates for your gift locally, and include them in your gifts. But we feel it's better to be sure of the quality instead of trying to guess the condition of the chocolates inside the sealed box.
We will continue to substitute any item we feel will not arrive in excellent condition during the warmer months, with another item of equal value.(specifically for chocolates and cheese)
While other Florida gift basket companies may still offer chocolates, the only way you can be sure they are fresh is to have them purchased for your gift basket, from local sources.
It is our goal to make every item in the basket is fresh. Revising our chocolate policy is just part of that goal. We want everyone to love the basket you send, a basket that also has our name, and reputation on it!
