Unfortunately, it is not possible to leave a package at your door or in your mailbox because we cannot guarantee that you will receive it. You can, however, provide us with the contact information of a neighbor or the concierge to receive the delivery.
Courier deliveries are not available during the warmer months because transport conditions are not optimal for our chocolates and we cannot guarantee in what state they will be when delivered.
