How to send chocolate
Sending chocolate across the UK requires a little preparation – but it’s easier than you might think. Here are some tips to keep your sweet treats in top condition:
1. Choose the right type of chocolate
When sending chocolate, opt for:
- Solid chocolate bars
- Truffles with long shelf lives
- Chocolate-covered nuts or biscuits
Avoid items with soft fillings or ingredients that melt easily unless you’re using our Next Day delivery.
2. Insulate to prevent melting
Chocolate can be sensitive to temperature, especially in transit. To protect your parcel:
- Use foil bubble wrap, or thermal insulation
- Place the chocolate in an airtight container
- Consider adding a gel ice pack for extra security
- Avoid sending during extreme heat waves
3. Pack smartly and securely
Keep your packaging sturdy and compact:
- Wrap chocolates in paper or bubble wrap
- Use a strong cardboard box with cushioning
- Add “FRAGILE” or “PERISHABLE” labels
- Make sure items don’t move around in transit
