FAQ
What type of chocolate do we use?
At CocoAimes we only use luxury Belgian chocolate to produce fabulous chocolatey creations. Just take a peek at the feedback from previous customers (who come back time and time again) which shows how lovely the chocolate really is.
Each slab is placed in individual foodsafe cellophane bags with labels confirming the allergens and dietary ingredients within the item, the Best Before date and batch details. There is also an allergen disclaimer which confirms that all allergens are present in the kitchen and that the items are not suitable for people with any food allergens, especially milk/lactose, any nuts, and gluten.
​
If your order is being sent in the post the items are then individually wrapped in bubble wrap and tied with a twine ribbon and popped in a kraft postal box (this will be a small or medium parcel and will NOT fit through the letterbox) and void fill to keep them as safe as possible during transit. As you can appreciate your items are highly fragile and heat sensitive and whilst we try to do everything we can to minimise the risk of your order melting or breaking there will always be a risk of this happening and you are agreeing to these risks when making your purchase.

What is your return and cancellation
policy?
What is the shelf life on the products and
how should I store them?
All products have a Best Before label confirming the shelf life for your orders. On average the base of the Belgian chocolate will last for approximately 12 months. However, we do recommend (and we are sure this won’t be too much of an issue) that your order is consumed within 2 to 3 months to enjoy the chocolate at it's best quality. That being said, we use a number of toppings on our chocolates and therefore the Best Before dates can vary accordingly. Chocolate is usually fine to eat so long as it stored correctly.
​
If you have the best will power in the world, and you need to store the chocolate, do so in a cool, dry place away from excessive heat, humidity, strong smells, away from direct sunlight and in an airtight container. Chocolate should not be stored in the fridge as chocolate easily absorbs odours of whatever is in your fridge (yes, even your leftover curry). The moisture in the fridge and change in temperature also leads to the sugar rising to the surface of the chocolate, causing a “sugar bloom” and discolouration. Whilst the bloom does not affect the taste of the chocolate it will make it look less appealing.
What happens if my order arrives
damaged or melted?
If the item(s) have broken/melted in transit we will offer to replace your broken item only (this may not always be immediately but a time scale will be confirmed to you at the time of complaint. If the time scale is not suitable to your needs a CocoAimes gift voucher will be offered instead to the value of the broken/melted item (or if the item is only slightly marked due to the odd sweet/chocolate topping melting then we will offer a partial refund/gift voucher (this will be considered on a case by case basis).
​
Picture and/or video evidence MUST be provided of any damage or melting of items before a replacement or gift voucher will be considered.
Refunds: Please see Our Terms and Conditions link below which will provide full details regarding our return policy.
​
Cancellation: You have 24 hours from the time you make your order to cancel your order. Unfortunately we cannot offer a longer cooling off period due to the personalised nature of these products.

Common Queries Answered
Ingredients and allergen information can be found on each specific product page and a label will be provided on the packaging of your order confirming all allergens within the product. Allergens will always be in BOLD.
​
All products are made in a small open plan kitchen where all allergens are present. MILK/LACTOSE, ALL NUT TYPES, and GLUTEN products are heavily produced and stored within the kitchen and therefore, whilst all efforts are made to ensure no cross-contamination occurs we DO NOT advise purchasing and consuming these products if you have allergies to such foods. We apologise for the inconvenience.
​
Further to this, our products are not suitable for vegans at present. However, some of our slabs are absolutely fine for vegetarians. Please see each individual product listing for each allergen and dietary information.
