Thank you for choosing Blue Frog Chocolates. Please read this page before completing your purchasing from our website.
More important Reminders:
Order Policy ~ Purchasing Detail ~ Shipping Policy
1)
Orders take 1- 5 days to ship from time of receipt. We
do everything possible to complete orders in 1-2 days. However,
orders placed during busy periods such as Christmas and Valentines
may take longer, and we may hold orders received
towards the end of a week for shipment the following Monday to avoid
having chocolate sit in a freight warehouse over the weekend. (See
shipping policy below)
2) An email confirmation will be sent when your order is received, and again when your order is shipped. The second email will contain your package tracking number and the total amount charged to your credit card. This will be your only receipt of the transaction. 3) Calculated shipping costs are estimates only. Exact shipping costs will not be known until the package is packed for shipping. This is due to fluctuating prices charged by FedEx, fuel surcharges and changing gas prices. In the unusual case, actual charges may be substantially higher then that estimated by our shopping cart. If shipping would be more then 20% higher than estimated, you will be contacted for approval. Please note that shipping of sensitive products, such as the Truffettes, may require 2 day shipping depending on weather conditions. Please review an explanation regarding shipment of products like Truffettes HERE. Unless specified at the time of the order, we will exercise our discretion in altering shipping method in order to assure that the product arrives safely. 4) There will be a $5.00 fee charged on any order below $25.00 (Come on- can’t you use more chocolate anyway!?) 5) Order cancellation: Due to the perishable nature of our product, we cannot accept returns on food items, and NO refunds will be given after the order has been shipped. Cancellations prior to shipping are subject to a 35% restocking fee. Cancellations on customized orders are not allowed. 6) We are not responsible for melted chocolates. 7) At this time we are unable to do business outside of the USA
PURCHASING DETAIL1)
We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express
2) Orders originating from, or shipped to Louisiana are subject to a 9% sales tax. 3) Chocolate packaging is often seasonal and may vary in appearance from that posted on our website.
SHIPPING POLICY1)
We ship all packages using FedEx (www.fedex.com),
by any of the following methods: ---
Ground Consider, when possible, shipping to an address where someone will be able to receive the package when delivered, possibly a business or work place. Chocolate left outside a home may be damaged by heat, the sun, rain, or neighborhood animals! Please
consult the map below for ESTIMATED ground
shipping times from New Orleans. Please note that at certain times
of the year, due to hot weather, overnight or 2-day shipping may
be the only shipping options available. 3) Signature required for delivery. Packages will require a signature for delivery, UNLESS otherwise requested in your order. If delivery without signature is requested, Blue Frog Chocolates will not be held responsible for missing packages. 4) All packages will be timed to ship so that they do NOT sit in storage over the weekend. This means that orders placed Wednesday or later may not ship until the following Monday. Chocolate is a perishable item, and any unnecessary delays in its delivery due to weekend storage in trucks or warehouse facilities may damage the product. 5) We are unable to time shipments to arrive on a specific day, but we will do our best to try if requested.
