Terms & Conditions

Butterflies Chocolates aim to provide excellent products and customer service. If you have any queries please email us at Claire@butterflieschocolates.co.uk or call us on 07960 747511. We aim to respond to any queries within 48 hours, and usually do so sooner.

  1. Contacting Us
    If you need to contact us please either call us on 07960 747511, email us at Claire@butterflieschocolates.co.uk or complete the contact form on the Contact Us page. We aim to respond to all messages within 48 hours.
  2. Price
    All prices for our products are shown on our website. When placing your order, the total value of your order will be displayed on the order confirmation screen. The price shown is the amount in pounds sterling that you will pay.
  3. Delivery
    We aim to dispatch orders within 2 working days of the order being received. However, all our chocolates are handmade, often to order, and as a result at busy times orders may take up to 5 working days to be dispatched. Orders are usually sent by Royal Mail First Class, but are sometimes sent by various couriers, or delivered by hand if local. We cannot be held liable for delays in delivery due to third parties. We reserve the right to delay sending your order if the weather is extremely hot or cold, so as to protect the chocolate. If this is likely to result in a delay of several days we will contact you. We deliver to all areas of mainland United Kingdom, which includes Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man. We offer free delivery to YO42 postcodes, and for all other postcodes in mainland United Kingdom delivery is charged at a flat rate of £3.95 per order. We reserve the right to impose a surcharge retrospectively for any balance should an incorrect delivery postcode be provided, for example YO42 to obtain free delivery for non-YO42 areas. We cannot accept any liability for delayed or failed delivery if the address provided is wrong. For shipping outside of mainland UK please contact us at Claire@butterflieschocolates.co.uk to see if this is possible. Unfortunately we are not able to accept orders for delivery to or from an address containing a PO Box number. If your order has been lost in the post please contact us to determine how your order was sent. After confirmation of the loss we will then resend your order at no cost to you.
  4. Cancelling your order
    If you would like to cancel your order please call us on 07960 747511 or email us at Claire@butterflieschocolates.co.uk within 24 hours of placing your order. In accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulation you may also cancel your order at any time without reason within 14 working days of delivery. If you would like to cancel your order and receive a refund please confirm this in writing and return the complete, unopened item(s) to:
