One of the things we love most is getting delicious Goo Goo Clusters from our home in Nashville to yours. Online purchases are currently available for shipping in the 48 contiguous United States, Alaska (expedited only), Hawaii (overnight only) as well as Canada (requires contacting our Customer Service team).

Before your order leaves our building, we treat it with the utmost care. Please review the shipping terms and policies to understand your responsibilities to ensure your purchases arrive in the best possible condition.

Shipping in Summer Months and to Warm Weather Destinations

While we do our best to ensure orders arrive in the best condition, shipping chocolate during the warmer months is always a risk. Transportation delays and outdoor temperatures are not within our control. We strongly suggest choosing the Overnight Shipping option during warmer months or when sending chocolate to a warm weather climate. In our experience, even 2-day transit is too long for our real milk chocolate confections to hold up during delivery to some locations.

Please note: if you receive a melted order and you chose a shipping method other than Overnight Shipping during checkout, we are unable to replace the product. Only overnight delivery is guaranteed to arrive in good condition.

When the weather is 72˚F or higher (typically April-October), between our facilities in Tennessee and the delivery location, Ground Shipping may not be an available shipping option. During the rest of the year, if 2-day or Overnight Shipping are the only options shown, this means the delivery state is in a warm weather climate zone.

During the warmer months, we automatically package the products in insulated shippers with cold packs to help protect the chocolate from melting. These protect the product for up to 24-48 hours, depending on the temperature levels outside of the container. A $10 materials fee is included in the total shipping charge for ALL candy orders shipping in these months to cover the cost of the additional insulation.

There may be times we need to contact you to change the shipping method to ensure that your order does not melt in transit. With your approval, we may cancel the order and issue a new option with the most appropriate shipping method.

We advise you to closely monitor your order's progress using the tracking number sent to your email; check your spam folder to prevent an order from being potentially unattended in the hot sun. If you are unable to personally receive your order, please route to a shipping address where someone can receive and place your purchase in a cool, dry place. 

Weather permitting, Ground, 3 Day Select, or 2 Day Air are typically acceptable shipping options from November to March to most areas of the country.
