ORDERING + SHIPPING POLICY

Shipping options and prices are displayed at checkout, including Standard, UPS 2-Day and UPS Next Day delivery. We cannot guarantee Monday delivery, as weather conditions may prevent us from shipping over the weekend. 

Free shipping is offered on regular, ground shipping within the continental US. 

Order processing time may be extended during holiday time periods, such as Christmas (Nov-Dec), Valentine’s (Feb) and Easter (Mar-Apr). Due to increased volume during these periods, all orders including 2-Day shipments, may require 1-3 business days additional processing time, as all chocolates are made fresh to order.

We work hard to ship out all orders as quickly as possible. We process orders in the order they are received. Only Next Day and 2-Day orders are guaranteed to ship out in a specific timeframe, Standard Shipping & Free Shipping orders do not have a guaranteed delivery date. As our chocolates are handmade, large orders may require some additional processing time.

MECHA is not responsible for any delivery delays caused by the carrier, such as weather delays, mechanical delays, etc. Carriers are experiencing longer than usual delivery times. Please plan accordingly. 

*We may need to hold orders and wait to ship if the destination exceeds 85 degrees on 2 Day shipping or over 90 degrees on Next Day orders, to ensure chocolate is received in optimal condition.

 

EXPEDITED SHIPPING

Our daily order cut-off for Next Day and 2-Day shipments is 12 Noon PST. Orders placed after 12 PM, will calculate as if the order were placed the following day. 2-Day and Next Day order and delivery times are calculated as Business Days (Monday-Friday). Saturday and Sunday are not considered business days. MECHA reserves the right to ship orders based on current transit weather conditions to ensure optimal product arrival.
