Shipping

Delivery of our Belgian Delights chocolate lines throughout Australia takes between 1 to 5 working days based on your location. We have a dedicated packing team to carefully package your goods to avoid them being damaged in transit. If, for any reason you are unhappy with the condition of your goods on delivery, please contact us immediately. You will be charged a flat fee for delivery when ordering and paying through our website. Orders placed outside our online ordering system (this website) will be charged at cost, by calculating the volumetric or gross weight of your chocolate order. Due to climate constraints and the delicate product we are shipping, we cannot deliver on a specific date or on weekends.

All of our shipping is undertaken through a courier service and goods must be signed for on delivery, as proof they have reached you. While there is an ‘Authority To Leave’ request form available for deliveries without a signature, we may not agree to ship under these conditions due to the type of product we supply. If you agree to the ‘Authority To Leave’ conditions, you also forgo being able to claim on the products if they go missing in transit.

If goods have to be delivered a second time, as there is no authorised person available to sign for them, a $15.00 re-delivery fee may be charged. As our shipping is handled through a courier service, we only deliver goods to street addresses, not to a PO Box. Due to service coverage and climate restraints we may not be able to ship our chocolates to more remote regional areas. To find out our coverage areas please contact us on (07) 5574 6599 or fill out our online enquiry form.

Our shipping service is to Australian addresses only, for international orders contact us by phone on +61 7 5574 6599 or via our enquiry form.

Warranty Returns, Refunds, Exchanges

To the extent permitted by law, no refunds will be provided for any products purchased over the website if you simply change your mind. Given the nature of the product sold we are also unable to offer exchanges for any products purchased over our website.

Once goods are purchased they are unable to be cancelled. No refunds will be provided for cancelled orders once payment has been made.

To the extent permitted by law, any condition, warranty or statutory guarantee which would otherwise be implied or imposed into these terms and conditions is hereby excluded. Where legislation implies or imposes any condition, warranty or guarantee, and that legislation prohibits us from excluding or modifying the application of, or our liability under, any such condition, warranty or guarantee, that condition, warranty or guarantee will be deemed included but our liability will be limited for a breach of that condition, warranty or guarantee to one or more of the following: (a) if the breach relates to goods, (i) the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods, or (ii) the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods.
