It is our goal to get your orders to you as quickly and efficiently as we can. The standard shipping services that Frederic Loraschi Chocolate uses on all orders are provided by UPS. Orders received before 3PM EST will be processed the same day, all orders received after the daily cutting time will be processed the next business day.

Cold weather months:

During the coolest part of the year we supply you with the following options:

UPS Ground (your package is delivered around 1-5 business day depending on the location selected)*

UPS Next Day Air Saver (your package is delivered on the next business day in the entire country)*

UPS Second Day (your package is delivered on the second business day in the entire country)* 

*Keep in mind that UPS do not work over the weekends and any major holidays, therefore delivery date may be altered if your package spends the weekend in transit. To avoid any extra transit time, we recommend that you order at the beginning of the week. 

Upon review of your order, a customer service representative will decide to use our hot weather packaging based on your recipient's local weather and temperature. There is no action required on your part and this service is complimentary. 

All orders are shipped “no signature required” which means the package will be left at the shipping address. 

Frederic Loraschi chocolate is not responsible if your package is lost or stolen after UPS has completed the delivery.
