Frequently Asked Questions

SHIPPING & HANDLING

How do you ship chocolate and candy during warm months?
During warm months and when sending to warmer climates, we pack our candy carefully with insulation and ice packs to keep the product as fresh as possible. If your order includes a more heat sensitive item (like chocolate), we recommend choosing 2-day or overnight shipping to shorten the amount of time the package is left outside.

What do I do if my product arrives melted?
If your product(s) arrives melted, we ask you to send a picture of the melted product to customer service at customerservice@dylanscandybar.com within 24 hours of receiving your package. We’ll assist you in receiving a replacement or a refund.

Are there certain days you do not ship during warmer months?
During the months of May through September, ground and 2-day orders will only ship Monday through Wednesday, and overnight orders will ship Monday through Thursday. No orders will ship on Fridays.

Do orders with multiple products always ship together?
Most orders with multiple products will ship together, but we do have several exceptions! Personalized orders and hand dipped assortments must ship separately due to lead time, preservation of the product, and/or shipping restrictions.

How will I know when my order ships? 
We’ll send you an email when your order has shipped with tracking information.
