If you live in a state that is warm at the time of shipping or are concerned with delivery delays, please add these additional ice packs and insulated shipping to protect your chocolates from the weather. I will put as many ice packs as necessary depending on the size of your order. I cannot be held responsible once the item leaves my shop if the items are melted and you did not select this add-on.I ship priority mail which is typically a couple of days depending on where you live.Thank you.
