WARM WEATHER POLICY

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that chocolate flavored items will not melt. We recommend selecting an expedited shipping method, and not ground for orders containing chocolate flavored items. HOTLIX provides refrigerant ice packs at no charge with expedited orders of chocolate flavored items. The refrigerant ice packs only last approximately 24 hours, so they cannot fully prevent damage in transit. We only ship orders containing chocolate flavored items on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays during the warm weather season. We will not reship items that have melted in transit.
