Chocosphere will be closed from Friday, June 30th at 5:00PM Pacific Time thru Wednesday, July 5th at 9:00AM Pacific Time.
Because the holiday may cause a backlog of orders, we may not be able to meet our normal commitment of shipping orders received by 7PM on the next business day (as modified by normal summer-weather policies). Please see the table below to determine when we plan to ship your order, based on the shipping method you choose and the need to prevent your chocolate from being in non-temperature-controlled transit over a weekend.
If you need to receive your chocolate by a particular date, please note it in the "comments" section on the final page of the checkout, and we will do our best to accommodate you within the limits of our holiday closure.

Should the weather warm up (either here, at the destination, or anywhere in-between), we will need to call you to make alternate shipping arrangements, which may cause your package to arrive late. To ensure safe and timely delivery of your package, particularly to southern areas of the country, you may want to choose an air shipment method.
