Shipping policy

We do our absolute best to ship all orders within 2-5 business days, between Mondays and Thursdays. Depending on the shipping destination and the forecasted weather along the way, we avoid shipping on certain days in order to ensure any heat-sensitive items reaches their destination in optimal condition.

Why only ship Monday - Thursday?

When shipped via normal (aka, non-expedited) methods, chocolate placed in the mail after a Thursday may be subject to routine but nonetheless cruel (for chocolate), high-temperature conditions. This often includes extended truck exposure, or what chocolate-pathologists may refer to as "ETE" (not to be confused with the more desirable outcome, "eat", or the more desirable acronym, "ETA".)*

Especially in the warmer months, and throughout the year when shipping to warmer climates, we take every precaution to ensure your slowcocoa reaches you in peak form. Should you have any specific delivery questions or an urgent shipping timeline, please contact us anytime at orders@slowcocoa.com.
