Shipping and Delivery
All orders are shipped from our warehouse located in Vancouver, BC NOT from individual Purdys Retail Shops.
Warm Weather Shipping
As temperatures rise, we do our best to ensure your chocolate arrives in the best condition possible.
- Orders are packed in insulated containers with reusable ice packs to help keep your chocolate cool and reduce the risk of melting. We only use express delivery services.
- When possible, we highly recommend shipping to a business address rather than a residential address to keep your package in a temperature-controlled environment as long as possible.
- To keep your chocolate from being in transit more than a few days, we are only shipping orders Monday through Thursday.
We guarantee the quality of our products and take great care to ensure your gifts arrive in perfect condition (as if you'd delivered them yourself). Exceptions may apply for international shipments as we cannot guarantee the quality of chocolates shipped outside of Canada & US.
If your order is incorrect or damaged in any way, please call 1.888.478.7397 ext 4 or email customerservice@purdys.com within 15 days of delivery and we will promptly send a replacement. We do not accept returns.

Pre-orders
Get all your shopping done early with pre-orders.
Chocolates on pre-order aren't ready to ship yet (because we're still hard at work making them at our Factory Kitchen!). Each pre-order has an estimated availability for shipping date which is when the chocolates should be ready to ship to you. This date is found at the top of the product page; please make note of the date and the estimated shipping time before purchasing. Estimated availability might also change but we do our best to keep to the schedule.
When you purchase pre-orders:
- Your credit card is charged when you place your order.
- We ship your entire order together when all products become available to ship and notify you by email. This may take up to 5 weeks. When placing pre-orders, you agree to these terms.
If your order includes both pre-order and in-stock items:
To receive in-stock items immediately, please select the Ship to Multiple Addresses tab during checkout and place your pre-orders in a separate shipment, even if you're shipping all your products to the same address. We will notify you by email when each shipment is sent.

We do not guarantee that the chocolates will arrive in perfect condition - they can sometimes be crushed or melted in transit or often opened while being held at customs. International shipments will not be replaced or refunded. Orders shipped outside of Canada are not charged Canadian taxes; however, all orders pass through customs and are subject to import duties, taxes, and custom processing fees. A customs invoice will arrive with your parcel or may follow in the mail. Recipients are responsible for paying these additional fees.
Purdys Chocolatier is unable to provide estimates for customs fees. Check with your local customs office for more information.
