SHIPPING:
World Wide Chocolate makes every attempt to send out your order the next BUSINESS day on average, but may take 1-3 BUSINESS days to process for shipping.
Shipments leaving our facility take 2-3 BUSINESS days via USPS Priority & FedEx express.
It is at our discretion how your order will ship. If it is a larger order, it may be shipped FedEx Ground. Orders to the Central/West Coast states could be in transit 3-5 BUSINESS days. Shipping during a holiday week will generally alter shipping times/expectations.
Expedited Shipping is very costly! Please call us for availability and a quote for the additional expense. We will not honor any shipping delays should they incur.
WARM WEATHER PACKAGING (WWP) APO/DPO MELTING DISCLAIMER
World Wide Chocolate offers Warm Weather Packaging (WWP) year round which may include insulated shipping materials, as well as frozen reusable gel packs. It is at our discretion to choose the appropriate level of protection needed to safely ship your order to your area based on weather and transit time. In the warmer (summer) months, we set the default option to ‘yes,’ but it is your choice as a consumer to ‘opt out’ if you are purchasing dry products which will not melt, or if you simply do not want the WWP add-on. In the cooler months, we set the default to ‘no,’ and leave it up to the consumer as to whether or not they need the add-on for their product(s) transit.
If you place an order WITHOUT WWP and the product melts in transit, World Wide Chocolate will not refund or replace for melting. Melted chocolate can still be tempered back to a usable state, and the fluctuation in temperatures will not affect the taste if properly tempered back after melting.
APO/DPO orders are not guaranteed with WWP! ORDER AT YOUR OWN RISK! Due to delays and unknown delivery windows, it is impossible to accurately protect your product for any warm weather it may experience in its journey to its final destination. We are unable to guarantee that Warm Weather Packaging will be successful in protecting your product.
Looking for more information on whether or not you should purchase the add-on? Read our WWP Guide here.
No Delivery Dates, Nor Timelines, are Guaranteed.
When your order ships, you will receive the tracking information that you can follow from the email titled “Your World Wide Chocolate Order has Shipped”.( please check spam/promotional folders) Once shipped, WWC does not actively monitor delivery transit; you must monitor your own tracking/delivery after receiving the tracking number from WWC. We are happy to provide it by calling 603-942-6032 if you still can not locate it.
Missing Packages
We do NOT monitor your tracking number. If your order is marked delivered, but is not there, check with other household members/neighbors to see if they may have received the package. Often USPS/ FedEx may mark the package as delivered before it is physically delivered to meet their shipping deadlines.
