If the product does not arrive in good condition, you will be responsible for the charges of a new order. Gourmet Boutique can not be held responsible for packages that are returned to us due to notice of “undeliverable address”.

Shipping Options

All items are shipped from our fulfillment center in Boston, MA.  We strive to ship orders within 24-48 hours of being placed (business days only). We ship orders on Mondays and Wednesdays. We do not ship orders on Fridays or weekends. Delays may occur due to weather, product availability or other circumstances. The shipping process for each location is as follows.

Ground Shipping:

Orders shipping via ground shipping will arrive within 5 - 10 business days.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer the Ground shipping option to all destinations because our product is time and temperature sensitive - we want the products to reach you and your gift recipients looking and tasting just as fresh as it does when it leaves our shop.

No Signature Required

All ground orders are shipped "no signature required " which means the package will be left at the shipping address, which may mean simply left on a residential doorstep. We are not responsible if the package is lost or stolen after carrier has completed the delivery.

Expedited Shipping:

For overnight delivery (regular and early morning), orders placed by Thursday 12 p.m. EST will ship that day. Orders placed after that will ship the following Monday.

For overnight delivery on Friday, customers can choose Saturday delivery for orders placed by Friday at 11 a.m. EST.

Carrier requires a signature for delivery to an apartment and someone must be present to accept the delivery with a signature unless otherwise requested for all packages shipped expedited shipping method.

Shipping Over the Weekend
If you are shipping a package to a warm weather destination over a weekend, your package may be held until the following Monday to ensure minimal time in transit.

Cooling Materials!
Shipping chocolate is tricky business. We work hard to ensure that our chocolate is delivered fresh and in perfect condition. To reduce the risk of melted chocolate on orders in transit to warmer climates (70 degrees Fahrenheit and higher), a $10.00 charge for ice packs may be added to your order during checkout. Please note from late spring to October we only offer 2nd Day Air and Next Day shipping for all perishable items. No ground packages for perishables will ship between late spring and early fall.

When Will My Order Arrive?
All Orders leave our Boston facility within 48-72 hours of processing, subject to inventory availability. In order to ensure the best possible product, orders cannot ship over the weekend during warm weather months. Thus, Standard shipping packages may be held until the following Monday to ensure minimal time in transit.
