In-Store Pick Up
COVID-19 Update: Please expect a possible delay on orders. The current challenges presented by the pandemic mean there are delays within the freight and delivery network. Our delivery partner Australia Post is experiencing delays due to a high volume of parcels in their network. Whilst these delays are out of our control we are doing everything we can to ensure that our parcels are to the required standard during these delays. This means we are putting more effort into packaging to accomodate the delays. We politely ask that you bear with us during this challenging time.
HOT WEATHER POLICY: As we approach the warmer months in Australia we must take precaution when shipping our handmade Chocolate. We do this in a number of ways. Firstly, we ensure all orders are packed to the highest of standards with resources that help keep the products cool. This includes ice packs, styrofoam boxes and insulated bubble wrap. Additionally, our team constantly checks the weather of the destination cities and the city we are based in. If we feel that the weather is too hot then we will hold off sending your order until it is safe to do so.

We are currently shipping to NSW, ACT, VIC, SA, TAS & QLD.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Any order over $79 SHIPPING IS FREE!! But if you can't meet that amount then don't stress, we have very affordable shipping cost at $14.95.

SHIPPING METHOD
We love our Chocolate and want to make sure it gets the best treatment possible. We get many questions about how we ship and if your chocolates will arrive safely, especially during hot weather. We ensure this by doing a few things:
- Orders will only be dispatched Monday - Thursday to avoid your package sitting in the depot over the weekend - We don't want it to melt, do we!
- You will only receive your order between Monday - Friday, unless it is a public holiday.
- We will include 1 ice pack in each order to make sure the contents stay cool during warmer months.
- We use insulated bubble wrap to keep heat out of the box and contain the coolness of the ice pack.
- In extreme weather conditions we will hold off on sending your order. Instead, we will contact you to organise another delivery date to make sure you're aware of the delay.
- Each order will receive tracking notifications so you can see its journey and make sure you're home to collect it.
- Please note: Once your Chocolates arrive we cannot control how it is stored. So take care of it by storing it correctly (not in warm areas such as cars, near the window, or outside for a long period of time).
Contact us on (02) 9636 9535 between the hours of 9am – 4pm Monday – Friday if you require any special delivery requirements.

How does the pre-order system work? Any orders that contain products that are listed as pre-order will be collected and shipped at a later date. Our pre-order system allows us to anticipate demand and produce our products as fresh as possible. This ensures our customers are receiving the best quality product at time of delivery.
When will my pre-order be shipped? Good news! We've started shipping pre-orders as of November 30th! We will continue shipping orders until December 17th, although we endeavour to ship all orders by December 10th. If you have submitted an enquiry to find out what day your order will be shipped please note that we are unable to give you an exact day or time. We have many orders to ship but we will do our best to give you an indication. However, this is not a guarantee.
When will I receive my pre-order? Once your order has been shipped you will receive it in accordance with Australia Post delivery estimates.

You will receive tracking updates via email and sms so you can track your parcel at any time.
Can I request my order to be shipped on a certain day? Unfortunately, we cannot offer any guarantees around shipping your order on a certain day.
Can I request my order to be delivered on a certain day? Again, unfortunately, this is not guaranteed. Since we use Australia Post it means that once your parcel is in the delivery network it will be delivered in accordance with the Australia Post estimates. Please note that these estimates do not consider delays.
How do you ship your Chocolates? Won't they melt during summer? We know that it can get quite hot which is why we do everything possible to make sure it arrives to our customers in the best condition. How we do this is by packaging it to the highest standard. All orders include at least 1 ice pack, insulated bubble wrap to not only protect the contents but to keep them cool too, and we use styrofoam boxes which is another way to ensure they stay cool. Our only form of transit is Express Post and we do not send any parcels on extremely hot days. Despite these measures, we understand that nature can get the better of us no matter how hard we try. If you have received your chocolates in an unsatisfactory condition please email us and our friendly staff will look after you - info@coco88.com.au
Since Chocolate is a heat-sensitive product, we will do our best to ensure you receive it at the best temperature possible. However, we cannot take responsibility for any melted products after delivery has occurred.
What happens if I order in-stock items and pre-order items? Any orders that contain products that are in stock and pre-order will be dispatched together when the pre-order item is available. Unfortunately, we cannot send items separately.
How do I store my chocolates? Chocolates are best stored in a cool dry place away from sunlight and strong odours. Avoid putting the chocolates in the fridge as it will cause condensation.
