CHOCOLATE ALERT!

We all love chocolate! We love giving and receiving chocolate gifts. Unfortunately, shipping gifts with chocolate between April and October is risky. We cannot ensure the safe arrival of chocolate during this time regardless of how it is shipped. It is done at your own risk.

Should you still desire to ship a gift with chocolate between April and October, we recommend selecting Express Mail. We will (but do not recommend) shipping via Priority Mail. 

Return Policy

We thank you for trusting us to make your gift giving experience a satisfactory one. Please double check the name and address information you give us at the time you place your order.

On rare occasions, errors happen. A gift arrives damaged or another unfortunate situation develops. Please know we are deeply sorry should this occur. We  do our best to prevent all manner of mishaps from happening in the first place.

This can be done by phone to 408-365-8831 or toll free 1-877-449-9832 by e-mail to contact@tealovergiftbaskets.com.  Tea Lover Gift Baskets will make every effort to resolve any issue in a timely manner and to your satisfaction. Damaged gifts or late deliveries will need to be verified by the carrier. If  the gift is disposed of before we can verify the damages/discrepancy we can not issue a refund.
