Delivery Policy
Cacao takes no responsibility for melted product in remote destinations, however we take all measures to ensure this does not happen.
Cacao takes great care with the shipping of your order to ensure that it arrives in optimal condition. To ensure that your order does not get to hot, we use a combination of polystyrene boxes in summer combined with ice packs (year round) to keep the temperature from getting to hot inside the box.
If you order on a friday during the warmer months, or if you live in northern Australia, we will sometimes delay shipping on a friday to ensure that your order does not get left in a warm warehouse over the weekend, if your order is going to be delayed, we will notify you by email.
We use Australian Express for all deliveries Australia Wide. In the event that the parcel cannot be delivered, a card will be left by the driver explaining how pickup can be arranged.
As we use a courier service for all deliveries, we are unable to deliver to Post Office Boxes.
If you live in Melbourne and place your order before 9am then we will endeavour to get your order out in our morning pickup, which should ensure your order gets delivered the same day. All orders received before 12pm will be shipped the same day, the exception being fridays when we may hold freight for dispatch on Monday to ensure your order is not left in a warm warehouse over the weekend.
How much does freight cost, and how long will it take to be delivered?
See the table below for an indication of delivery times for each state in Australia. If you live in regional or outlying areas, your order may take an extra day to be delivered.
