Shipping and Returns
Thank you for visiting Cocoa Nofel! We take immense pride in handcrafting our artisan hot chocolate in small batches. Below you will find everything you need to know about how we package, dispatch, and deliver your orders, as well as our policies regarding cancellations and returns.
📦 Shipping Information
Dispatch Times
-
Standard Orders: Because our hot chocolate blends are prepared in small batches to ensure maximum freshness, we aim to dispatch standard orders within 2 to 4 working days.
-
Personalised & Wedding Favours: Bespoke orders (such as personalised sachets with custom names, dates, or photos) require additional printing and hand-finishing time. Production schedules for custom orders will be agreed upon at the time of order confirmation.
UK Delivery Rates & Estimates
-
Standard Shipping: Delivered via Royal Mail (2–3 working days from dispatch).
-
Shipping Fees: Calculated and clearly displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase.
☀️ Warm Weather Clause
Chocolate is naturally heat-sensitive! During periods of extreme summer weather, we may briefly hold or delay dispatching your package to prevent your hot chocolate mixes from melting in transit. If this happens, we will email you directly with an update.
Shipping Address Accuracy
Please double-check your delivery address at checkout. We cannot be held responsible for delayed, lost, or misdelivered packages resulting from incomplete or incorrect address details provided by the customer.
🔄 Returns, Cancellations & Refunds
Perishable Food & Personalised Goods Exemptions
Under Regulation 28 of the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, certain items are legally exempt from the standard 14-day online return window.
-
Food Products & Sealed Sachets: For health and hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns or issue refunds for opened or unsealed hot chocolate sachets, gift boxes, or food products once they have been delivered.
-
Personalised & Bespoke Favours: Custom-printed sachets featuring personalised names, wedding dates, custom photos, or specific colourways cannot be cancelled, returned, or refunded once production or printing has begun.
