Terms and Conditions

When buying products via our website you are entering a legally binding contract.

The conditions detailed below do not affect your statutory rights according to United Kingdom law.

Our Products and Packaging

All of our products may contain nuts or nut traces.

The contents of our chocolate boxes vary according to seasonal ranges and may not be identical to the examples shown on our website. However, we guarantee that our chocolate boxes are always filled with a fresh selection from our range of fine, handmade chocolates.

Individual chocolates shown in our chocolate menu leaflet (included with every chocolate selection purchase) may be subject to substitution, depending on the current seasonal range. Please use our chocolate menu leaflet as a guide only.

You must be over 18 years of age to buy products containing bottled alcohol. You will be asked to confirm this during the order process as this forms part of our contract of sale.

In the event that we cannot satisfy your order due to stock unavailability, we will contact you to arrange a replacement or full refund.

Giftwrap and packaging examples shown are for guidance purposes only and are subject to change or substitution without prior notice.

Order Payment and Delivery

We accept payment by Visa, MasterCard, American Express and UK debit cards, for orders for delivery to a verifiable UK address.

We accept payment from overseas customers, provided that the product delivery address is within the UK mainland or Northern Ireland.

We can arrange next day delivery of consignments up to 2kg in weight to any address within England, Wales, Scotland (excluding Highlands and Islands) and Northern Ireland. Delivery of consignments over 2kg in weight can be sent to any address within England, Wales and Scotland (excluding Highlands and Islands) at our standard charge. Consignments over 2kg sent to all other parts of the UK can be arranged, but costs and delivery timings may vary. In such instances we will contact you if additional payment authorisation is required, and offer you the option to cancel your order and receive a full refund.

The delivery date shown on the Order Review page and Order Confirmation email is indicative only, and dependent on when you place your order. For orders placed before 12pm GMT weekdays the earliest delivery date is the NEXT working day. For orders placed after 12pm GMT weekdays the earliest delivery date is TWO working days later.

Orders placed for delivery to addresses outside of the UK cannot be processed. Such transactions will be refunded, but are subject to an administration charge of £2.

Payment will be processed at the time of order, not at the time of despatch.

You may cancel your order at any time before it is despatched and we will issue a refund. An administration charge of £2 may be deducted from your refund, at our discretion. Once your order has been despatched, payment cannot be refunded.

On receipt of your order we will send you a confirmation email. If you order before 12pm and request next working day or Saturday delivery, we will despatch via Royal Mail Special Delivery, Royal Mail first class Recorded Delivery or overnight courier. All orders require a signature. Small items will usually be delivered by Royal Mail Special Delivery (to arrive by 1pm). Large or multiple items will usually be delivered by overnight courier (to arrive by 5.30pm). However, we may despatch via Royal Mail first class Recorded Delivery when a courier service is unavailable or too costly. Royal Mail first class Recorded Delivery is not a guaranteed next day service.

We cannot accept responsibility for an order being delayed or declined as a result of incorrect or invalid payment or delivery details being given. The name and billing address must be the same as the registered address of the credit card holder.

All deliveries require a signature. If no one is available to sign for a delivery our carrier will leave a card for the intended recipient to arrange re-delivery at no extra charge.

In the event that your order is returned to us undelivered we will contact you to arrange re-delivery, but a repeat delivery charge is payable.

If your order is returned to us undelivered we cannot refund payment as the goods cannot be re-sold.

Orders sent to large businesses or hospitals may be distributed via a mail room and may not reach the intended recipient on the date requested. In such cases, where we can offer proof of delivery to the address supplied by you, repeat orders are payable in full.

If we are unable to provide a valid proof of delivery for your order within 72 hours of the delivery date requested, we will send it again, free of charge. For deliveries to non-residential addresses, a proof of delivery is valid if signed for by a verifiable employee.

You may request a proof of delivery up to three months following the expected delivery date of your order.

We reserve the right to decline acceptance of your order at our discretion. Such orders will be refunded to you in full.

The total value of your order will be displayed on the order confirmation screen. The displayed price is the amount in pounds sterling that you will pay.

All prices quoted include VAT at the current rate, unless otherwise indicated. If you are eligible to reclaim this sales tax, we can supply you with a VAT receipt on request.
