Shipping
The package
The packages are made with special care both to absorb physical and thermic shock. Packages contain at least 4 protections:
- Double spline box
- Thermic layer with layer of bubble wrap
- Foam wedge
- Layer of bubble wrap
At the customer's request, thermal protection can be added to particulary hot climates. If a significant additional cost is found, a client's participation can be asked.
For a small order, the carton may be replaced by a rigid envelope and strengthened.
Taking into account our environmental impact
In order to reduce further the environmental impact of our shipments, green materials are preferred:
- The cardboard is recyclable
- The paper delivery is recycled paper
Prepare the package
Packages are generally dispatched within 48 hours (24 hours for a urgent order) after receipt of your order. The shelf life is reduced to a minumum between the manufacturer and shipping. Therefore, the time consumption of chocolate sent is guaranteed at least one month, but it is usually between 3 and 6 months.
Shipping costs include packaging, handling and postage. They therefore contain a fixed portion and a variable portion based on the weight of your order. We advise you to group your items in one order. We can not group two distinct orders and you will pay the postage for each.
The tracking
All shipments are insured by the Swiss National post and its partners. All packages are shipped recommended without signatures.
The package ID is always delivered to the customer to enable the on-site monitoring of our service.
Delivery
Delivery times are indicative. They are usually
- 4-6 days (more preparation time) for an urgent shipment
- 10 to 15 days (more preparation time) for sending normal
For reasons of security, many local laws refuse shipments by express carriers.
Returns
For obvious reasons of hygiene and safety, returns are not accepted without written authorization of Swisschocolate-online.com. Before any return, it is necessary to make contact.
If a package returned for non-delivery, the return is at customer's expense. Swisschocolate-online.com can not be held responsible for non-receipt of package.
