Thanks for coming to read the fine print! If you have any questions just get in touch!
General
Our General Terms and Conditions apply to all deliveries and services. An order becomes binding as soon as you send it to us. If you need to change your order or made an error just let us know as soon as you can and if we haven’t shipped your order we can change it.
Additional Charges/Customs We cannot be responsible for any customs problems in other countries, for products like our cocoa husk tea and ingredients make sure you know the maximum quantities you are permitted to receive with customs. (ie Did you know you can only receive 1kg of ‘loose leaf tea’ in Australia by post!) Also, as a result of Brexit UK orders may incur additional customs charges or taxes on delivery.
Delivery area
Orders are delivered worldwide. Deliveries are not made to PO Box numbers. Please remember that chocolate melts in hot mailboxes, we package our deliveries simply and with minimal insulation, so if your mailbox is outside (and especially if it’s metal!) make sure there is someone to check it if the weather is hot!
Delivery Charges Web orders are delivered free of charge in the Republic of Ireland when the order totals €40 or more; otherwise a delivery charge of €4.75 is added. For Northern Ireland, the UK, Europe and the Rest of the World, your postage is calculated based on weight at checkout. You may also choose to collect your order in Clonakilty for no delivery charge. Some orders may only be available for collection, not delivery.
Parcel Tracking We now used tracked shipping on all overseas orders! Just get in touch if you want your tracking info. So far we have not had one item lost in the post, but things sometimes are delayed or are held at your local post office for collection, be sure to double check the mailing address provided before getting in touch.
Irish wholesale orders over €150 (ex VAT) will be delivered free of charge, for wholesale order shipping charges for other countries, please contact us.
Delivery period
We normally ship orders on Thursdays. Delivery is usually made next day in ROI, within 4-7 business days in the UK, 1-2 weeks for Europe and can take up to 3-4 weeks for the rest of the world – all non-Irish parcels are sent using An Post express tracked service. Should an item be currently out of stock, we will let you know as soon as possible when delivery can be expected. Deliveries can sometimes go to your local post office for collection, please check there before getting in touch with us, take longer so is at the risk of the consignee.
We usually have a 2-3 week holiday period in the summer months, if you order during this time we will ship as soon as we return or you can be issued a refund if that doesn’t suit.
Shipping Partner
We ship most orders via An Post Express Tracked and for small orders we use Án Post’s regular service. Wholesale orders are shipped using An Post tracked service unless they are very large, in that case we may use Fastway couriers. During delivery hours and we would appreciate if you could make sure that somebody is available to accept your goodies.
