Shipping and Returns
At Kate Weiser Chocolate, we take pride in the quality of our products and want them to arrive just as perfect as when they leave our kitchen. To help make that happen, we have created the following shipping policy.
This is Texas y’all. We urge you to consider your shipping destination, weather conditions and its distance from Garland, Texas when choosing a shipping method. Especially if you're ordering for a special occasion or an important deadline.
Not all shipping methods are available to all destinations. Kate Weiser Chocolate has reserved the right to limit shipping methods depending on the temperature, time in transit, and general weather conditions of a location.
Savedby Package Protection
For your convenience, Savedby Package Protection is automatically added to your order at checkout. This service helps protect your purchase in case of damage, loss, melting, or shipping delays; which is especially important since chocolate is a perishable (and meltable!) product.
We strongly recommend keeping this protection to ensure your order is covered. However, you do have the option to remove it before completing your purchase.
Please note: If you choose to proceed without Savedby Package Protection, your order will not be eligible for refunds or replacements due to issues like melting, damage, or carrier delays.
Here are a few frequently asked questions about how Savedby Package Protection works:
Q: What is SavedBy Package Protection?
A: SavedBy Package Protection is an optional add-on that can help cover the cost of lost, damaged or stolen packages. We do everything we can to make sure the package gets to you, but in cases when issues arise SavedBy can help.
Q: How Much Does it Cost?
A: SavedBy varies depending on the price of your order. It will automatically calculate once you begin to add items to your cart.
Q: How do I use my SavedBy Protection?
A: If you have issues with your package, reach out to SavedBy directly here: https://savedby.io/file-a-claim. Please review their policies to make sure that your package can be covered here: https://savedby.io/policies
Q: What does Savedby Protection NOT cover?
A: Saved by does not cover any fulfillment or packaging issues.
Some examples include:
- Damaged shrink wrap, as this is used for security purposes during shipping and not for product freshness.
- Orders/claims that appear to be fraudulent.
- Shipping delays (unless the delay causes spoilage to the products).
- Customer inflicted damages.
