Warm Weather Shipping

We continue shipping throughout the summer!

If the temperature reaches 24ºC, we ship all orders in special insulation packaging with ice-gel-packs. These survive temperatures up to 35 degrees for about 3 days. At no extra cost!

Before shipping we check the weather forecast at our location, the destination, and locations along the route (if known).

We make sure that the parcels are collected by the carrier as late as possible in the afternoon.

In case of warm weather we ship out from Monday-Wednesday depending on the expected transit time. And in order to exclude risk of parcels being stored in a carrier's warehouse over the weekend.

EcoCoolBox: an environmentally friendly insulated packaging

The EcoCoolBox which we use for insulated shipping is a unique, completely paper-based and environmentally friendly insulated packaging with an equal or even better insulation performance than EPS (tempex / styrofoam) based solutions. The liners of the boxes are made of fine paper fibres. These fibres have outstanding isulation characteristics, comply to European directives for contact with food products, are 100% recycable, and are made of clean recycled cardboard.

What you can do yourself

Please insure that the delivery address will not result in the package sitting outdoors for any length of time. The High Five Company is not liable for theft or damage during shipping or upon delivery. We highly suggest shipping where you can receive the package immediately. The High Five Company is not responsible for incorrect shipping addresses or addresses where delivery results in a package remaining in a hot, rainy, or otherwise unsuitable environment.

When we pause shipping

We pause shipping orders if the ambient temperature is over 35ºC in our and/or your location, in which case will delay such orders. But it is your responsibility to order chocolate to be received at under 35ºC. The High Five Company will not refund or replace melted chocolate. Please note this before ordering! You may request a delay in your shipment until the ambient temperature is below 35ºC at your location by adding a note to your order.

When Siebrigje, Chocolate Curator of ‘Andere Chocolade’ visited me a couple of months ago, her attention was drawn by the beautiful chocolate bars which Adam Dick and Dustin make. Two former carpenters make chocolate in Eureka, which is about a 4 hour drive north of San Francisco, USA. Their chocolate is world class, top quality and has been awarded numerously.

Siebrigje interview the two chocolate makers. In the link below you can read the full story.

Maandagochtend, Eureka, Humboldt County, Californië. Chocolademakers Adam Dick en Dustin Taylor van het chocolademerk Dick Taylor maken zich op voor weer een nieuwe werkweek. Maar voor ze hun nieuwste reep gaan gieten (70% Guatemala Lanquín), willen ze eerst nog wel even aanschuiven voor een skypegesprek met een nieuwsgierige Nederlandse chocoladecurator. Vanaf het moment dat ik […]
