Shipping Policy

One of the things we love most is getting delicious Goo Goo Clusters from our home in Nashville to yours. Please review the shipping terms and policies to understand your responsibilities to ensure your purchases arrive in the best possible condition.
Online purchases are currently available for shipping in the 48 contiguous United States, Alaska (expedited only), Hawaii (next-day air only), and Canada.

Order Processing

Daily Order Cut Off Times (all times CENTRAL TIME ZONE):

  • Monday-Wednesday before 12 noon — orders will be processed same day. 

  • Thursday before 12 noon — orders will be processed that day if next day delivery shipping option is selected, or the destination is within a 1-day ground ship zone.  

  • Thursday (after 12 noon)-Sunday— orders will be processed on the following Monday

NOTE: there may be times when our area experiences above-normal temperatures during a month that is typically cool (November is especially tricky around here!). When this happens, we reserve the right to HOLD shipping until the temperature drops below 72 degrees.

Express Shipping:

Please be advised, if choosing the Overnight Shipping option after 12 noon on Thursday-Sunday, your order will not be processed until the following Monday (see Cut Off Times above). The overnight option does not include Saturday and Sunday deliveries. We cannot guarantee Monday deliveries on any order. Note to residents of Tennessee: everywhere in the state of TN is a 1-day GROUND ship from our facility. There is no need to choose any of the express shipping options, as ground shipping will arrive to any TN address the next day.

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. If shipping outside of the area that is within a 1-day ground ship zone of our TN warehouse, we strongly  suggest choosing the Overnight shipping option during warmer months or when sending chocolate to a warm weather climate. In our experience, even a 2-day transit is too long for our real milk chocolate confections to hold up during delivery to some locations in certain temperatures.

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 can protect the product for up to 48 hours, depending on the temperature levels outside of the container. NOTE: there may be times when our area experiences above-normal temperatures during a month that is typically cool. When this happens, we reserve the right to HOLD shipping until the temperature drops back below 72 degrees. 

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, Express Saver, or 2-Day are typically acceptable shipping options from November through March to most areas of the country.

International, APO Shipments, P.O. Boxes

Currently we are only able to ship internationally to Canada and APO addresses. Our hope is that one day Goo Goo Clusters will be easily available worldwide.

APO Shipments: Please be aware that certain items may not be permitted to ship through customs in some countries. Goo Goo Cluster is not responsible for damaged chocolate shipped overseas or tariffs and taxes from the receiving country.

Canada:  Important note for all shipments over $40.00 CAD crossing the border.  Customs fees (GST/PST) and FedEx brokerage charges (Clearance Entry Fee & Disbursement Fee) is not collected by Goo Goo Cluster at the time of shipping as those fees are not assessed until being accounted for with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Customers will be responsible for these fees after receipt of goods. 

P.O. Boxes: Our preferred carrier does not ship to P.O. Boxes. A valid street address is required upon checkout to purchase Goo Goo candy and merchandise.

Incorrect Address

Please double check all address information on orders prior to submission as you will be responsible for any additional shipping charges incurred for packages returned due to incorrect or incomplete information.

Each purchaser is responsible for inputting the correct address with their order. Each order will receive an email confirmation that includes shipping information. If the address in your order confirmation is incorrect, please notify us immediately at ggcinfo@googoo.com. If the address is incorrect and the order has not yet shipped, we may be able to correct it, but this is not guaranteed. If the address is incorrect and the order has been shipped, we are not able to make any corrections or issue a refund. Please email us at ggcinfo@googoo.com with the correct shipping address (company name, suite number, floor number, etc.) and recipient name with the subject line "Incorrect Address,” so we can address the matter urgently.

In the event that a package is lost or stolen because of an incorrect address provided by the purchaser, we are not able to issue a refund.

Lost Orders

If a product is lost in transit due to an address error, theft, or negligence, we are not able to issue a refund; it is the purchaser's responsibility to request compensation from the shipping carrier. This applies to orders being shipped to a home, business, or third party.
