The chocolates were lovely but I put a specific delivery date in the order (this was a service offered, not an additional request) because I knew the recipient would be on holiday until the day before. I even followed up with an email which confirmed the delivery date requested because there had been confusion on the site about the name on the order (ordered by me but to be delivered to a different person). I received a confirmation email that the chocolates had been delivered several days early so they had sat at the address for days before being received. Thankfully it wasn’t hot weather but I recommend you order closer to the time if you want a specific date of delivery because it seems to be ignored. I’m told the quality of the product was very good though.
