I am a chocolate addict. I go for variety. I spotted this item on Amazon in - Belgian chocolate bars. I found them enticing and I ordered for them. The parcel arrived today. It was in a large box. There were ice packs, thermocol and what have you. It took me a while to unbox it.
Such elaborate packing surely did not come free. I have yet to taste them but hopefully I should not be disappointed.

I believe that the chocolates will not disappoint you and the elaborate packing is just the icing on the cake.

@allknowing Oh yes, I know, but anyone offering 'Free shipping' must be paying for it somehow,so they are either taking less profit markup or they are adding it in to the price they are charging you (or a little of both). It's just a marketing ploy, really.

@owlwings It is the weakness of the buyer to grab a deal that says free delivery (lol)

There are many other sellers that charge for shipping.

Yes but the alternative might have been melted chocolate so I think it was well worth paying for the better shipping.

@Starmaiden I know they are expensive but a splurge once in a way should be fine. Don't you think? (lol)

@allknowing Yes but they are very expensive. I don't get to indulge in them very often. :-)

I think the packing is worth it for your product to be delivered in better condition.

It was packed with ice packs and all and the chocolates were intact.

They were selling four together and one of them is dark chocolate but it has mint in it and so it should taste good
