Shipping Policy  
Due to restrictions on perishables, we are only allowed to ship 
to addresses in the United States to the 48 contiguous states. 
We cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, APOs, FPOs, U.S. Territories or 
Internationally. We also do not deliver to Alaska or Hawaii.

Since all of our gifts are made fresh to order, we will naturally 
take a minimum of a day or 2 to design, build and carefully package 
your gift. We will notify you when the product is completed and has 
been shipped. Most gifts take 2-5 days to make and may take longer 
if we have to restock any of the components that we use to make the 
gift. Gifts ordered prior to Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, and 
Halloween may require additional time to make, depending on the number 
of orders we are processing at the time. So order early and allow 
additional shipping time. 

We are not looking to make a profit through shipping 
and handling at Sweet Gifts. We pass on the costs and 
do not make a profit. The shipping options available 
are chosen to ensure delivery of your nuts or chocolate 
in perfect condition and within their shelf life. 
When choosing the shipping method please consider 
these guidelines. 

We ship United States Postal Service Priority Mail.
For an Additional charge we will ship USPS Next Day
Air for an additional charge. 

United States Postal Service Priority Mail usually 
arrives 2-3 business days after shipment. 
While we have found this service 
to be efficient and cost effective, we cannot 
guarantee an exact arrival date. The United 
States Postal Service does not provide a tracking 
number for their Priority Mail service. 

It is necessary to have a telephone number for all 
shipments. For office and business shipments, it is 
necessary to have a floor number. Failure to supply 
this information delays delivery of the package and 
will incur additional charges. 

Sweet Gifts is committed to sending the best and freshest 
Candy Designs and Gifts. However, we cannot accept 
responsibility for delays due to Acts of God. We cannot 
accept responsibility if given incomplete or incorrect 
delivery information. 

USPS will attempt to deliver the package up to 2 times. 
A notice will be left for the 
recipient to pick up the package at the Post Office. 
If the package is not picked up in a timely manner, we 
will have to instruct them to destroy the perishable package. 
The ordering customer will be charged even if the package 
has not been picked up. 

Warm Weather Shipping Policy:  Shipping chocolate products 
during the months of May - September requires heat 
sensitive packaging. To ensure product quality, a charge
