Shipping Bulletin (Nov. 28th, 2023):   Our holiday deadlines are set to enable on-time holiday delivery with normal shipping company service. However, our shippers (USPS, UPS, & FedEx) are still experiencing sporadic delays due to staffing shortages. Because of this, there is still no money-back guarantee for late deliveries.
We at Chocosphere are currently shipping on time. However, given current realities we are not responsible if deliveries are late due to shipping company delays. Thanks for your understanding.
