Yes. When temperatures are above 75 degrees, you should select a cooler for shipping. We ship with gel packs and a cooler bag for a $6.00 fee.

Once the chocolate is delivered, it should be brought in immediately and store in a cool room. This will allow any product that may have gotten soft to return to normal. Placing warm chocolate in the refrigerator would cause the chocolate to turn white. It does not affect the taste but affects the look.
