What are my collection and delivery options when using a chocolate courier?
The shipping and delivery of chocolates must be handled with care to avoid melting. By choosing a reliable courier service to pick up your chocolates, you ensure your package arrives in the same same condition it was sent. When considering a suitable chocolate courier service, take into account the following:
Varieties and quantities of chocolates - carefully measure and weigh your chocolate to get your parcel measurements to find the best option.
Package them carefully - ensure your chocolates are in appropriate packaging that will prevent them from melting or getting damaged.
Delivery options - choose an appropriate delivery option – whether you want your book courier to deliver your items the next day, or if signed for delivery is important to keep your recipient updated.
Prohibited items - before you send your chocolates or related gift sets, check if they're allowed for shipping (view our list of prohibited items).
We offer many delivery service options, including parcel collection and drop off delivery. With many pick up services and drop off locations near you, you can choose the most convenient option for you.
Small, large or heavy parcels aren't a problem for our couriers - we can handle any non-prohibited items of many sizes, shapes and weight! Use our quick quote tool to find out more.
