How do you ensure the chocolate won't melt in transit? Can it be shipped with dry ice?

We thank you for your inquiry. Currently, we have no options we can offer you on the cooling. We can tell you that we buy direct from many manufacturers including Lindt, and they all highly recommend that between April and October, especially with the unpredictable weather patterns, that all chocolates be refrigerated at time of delivery for 2 hours to ensure solidifying of any product that may have produced melting. We thank you for your considerations.

HI the probiotics companies allow for some die off when shipping. They have more of the bacteria strains then what is listed on the box. We do have ice packs that we can ship with and just request it. Please note the ice will melt before the item gets there but will keep cool for a while but it will not be like when you ship meat on dry ice or anything like that.

Hey RD, we live in a warm climate also but cooling chocolate has never been an issue in this house because it all gets eaten too quickly. I would think that chocolate is chocolate and that cooling it in a fridge wouldn't harm it any but I'm no expert.........good luck, Sandy

I don't personally ship anything through Amazon because I'm not a seller since using the site. If you mean how did it come when I did buy it via Amazon's service once in the past, I believe I did receive it on dry ice. I know for sure it ensured delivered cold just so you know.

I think it would make the plastic brittle if used on the long term. Of course, you'd need to leave the dry ice in its brown paper. Cubed ice would work better for packaging as it fills the space vs. dry ice would take up significant space - unless you are just transporting it quickly.

I buy it at the health food store and they keep these little critters refrigerated so I think they need to be...unless the shipper can guarantee it in a refrigerated envelope.

Dear Marissa, thank you for your inquiry. Our company packages chocolate with iced gel packs to keep the item cool during shipment.

just put your frozen item on the tray ... if you wish, warm the tray first with warm water

I didn't know it would be shipped with dry ice and it was left at a shipping depot for a few days beforeI picked it up. The package was leaking.

Turn up the heat. It's silicone and takes a higher temp. I had no problem melting chocolate.

Hello, Unfortunately we do not ship items with ice packs. When a manufacturer formulates a probiotic, they are aware that the product will not be able to be refrigerated 100% of the time. The manufacturer knows that products will not be shipped refrigerated, therefore there is a very decent amount of time allowed so that a product can be shipped and still exceed its potency. Please also be assured that this product is stored at our temperature-controlled facility at all times. As long as your product is sealed and not in direct sunlight, its potency and integrity will not be compromised. We also send probiotics continually to third party laboratories in all months, including the hottest ones, to ensure that the product does hold up to the label claims. So far we have ran into no issues concerning the products. We hope this information is helpful! Best in Health, Jessi V.

Yes, with dry ice and you will receive it quickly. The times I have ordered this item, I did not experience any problems.

Mine arrived in a nice air tight sealed plastic tub, unlike ClaudK who on April 28 said his came in an open bag. I've made chocolate with coconut oil before but you have to store it in the freezer. This should be able to stan room temp. I'm going to try with this!

Please use discretion when ordering items such as chocolate or taffy that have the potential to melt during the warmer months of the year. Shipping these candies during the warmer months or to warm climates can potentially damage them. We cannot guarantee the condition of melt-able candies and will not be held responsible for damages when shipped under these circumstances. We do include ice packs on orders that have the potential to melt.

The item can withstand mild temperatures for a few days, when it is sealed. We only ship these out on Mondays and Tuesdays so that the items do not sit over the weekend. We only ship them USPS Priority or UPS Ground. Especially during this time of year, we can safely transport this product by mail and UPS. During the summer, we use ice packs (with insulation) if the package will arrive in 2 days (either if it is sent by UPS 2nd Day Air or close enough to Chicago). If it will not arrive in 2 days, we do not ship it.

I just ordered this in the summer. It arrived in an uninsulated box with no ice - and was simply a bag of pricey chocolate ooze. I'd say stock up in the winter or find a seller that ships with an ice pack.
