Buy your Valentine’s Chocolates NOW …and find out about us sending them by ‘special delivery’ post

Our valentine chocs are now in the chocolala shop. They’re gorgeous, inscribed with hearts and kisses or wrapped in pink foils. You can buy them now for delivery from the 9th of Feb.
We’re also offering the Post Office ‘Special Delivery, Next Day’ service for those of you that want to be sure that chocolates arrive to your loved one on Valentines day itself. This service costs an extra £3.50.
The package should arrive before 1pm, but there will need somebody to be in to sign for them… so sending them to the office might work rather well.
If you want us to send your chocolates ‘Special Delivery’ all you need to do is to go through the shop in the normal way. When you get to the page that offers you a choice of delivery slots, just choose the one that says it’s the Special Delivery to arrive on Valentine’s Day. The £3.50 will automatically be added to your final bill. It couldn’t be simpler.
If you want to find out what the Royal mail says about this service, or to check that you're not planning to send your chocs to the 1% of the UK that is too remote to receive next day delivery, take a look at their website.
So what’s available… well, for full details take a look at the different items in the shop, but in brief:
There’s the valentine tin. Phwaarrrr. (£20 + £2.50 P&P)

There’s also the valentine square dozen that comes in a 3 pack (that’s 3 very stylish square boxes, each with 12 chocolates in) (£21 + £2.50 P&P)

And finally there’s the valentine trios that come in a pack of 7.
I defy anyone not to go at least a bit soppy when they handle one of these. (£21 + £2.50 P&P)

For full details about each product, a few (allegedly) helpful hints on how to use them and, of course, to buy before you get sidetracked by something else, forget all about it, and end up in the dog house on Valentine’s Day, go to the chocolala shop now!
