At Cha Cha Chocolates, we ship your online orders using Australia Post's reliable Express Post service. Please note that our deliveries are currently limited to addresses within Australia.
To ensure the safe arrival of your goodies, we take great care in packaging your order. Your items will be meticulously packed in a sturdy cardboard shipping box, accompanied by scrunched tissue paper and bubble wrap for optimal protection during transit.
For your peace of mind, we require a signature for all deliveries. In most metropolitan areas, the Australia Post delivery agent will attempt to deliver your package directly to your door. If they are unable to do so, they will leave your parcel in a safe place, provided one is available. If no safe place is found, your delivery will be taken to your Local Post Office for convenient collection.
We advise against opting for delivery to Australia Post parcel lockers due to the increased likelihood of exposure to higher temperatures, which may affect the quality of your chocolates. We want to ensure that your treats arrive in perfect condition, so we recommend choosing a delivery option that prioritizes temperature control.
Rest assured, we are committed to providing you with a smooth and secure shipping experience, so you can indulge in our chocolates with delight.WHEN WILL MY ORDER BE DISPATCHED?
We strive to process, pack, and dispatch orders promptly to get them on their way to you. Generally, this process is completed within 2 business days from the time you place your order.
It's important to note that these timeframes may vary depending on various factors. During busier periods such as Christmas, Easter, and other special promotions, higher order volumes can result in slightly longer processing times. Additionally, in order to protect the quality of our products, we may choose to delay shipping during extremely hot weather conditions.
Our order dispatch takes place from Monday to Thursday. If you place an order on a Friday, we believe it's best to hold onto it until Monday, as we cannot guarantee the storage conditions over the weekend.
