Our Guarantee
Lammes Candies Since 1885, Inc. is committed to excellence in both our candy quality and our customer service. We use only the finest and freshest ingredients, packaging each box with care to preserve the superior quality our customers have come to expect. If your box does not meet these high standards, simply retain the unused portion and contact our customer support team by phone at 800-252-1885, or send us an email at customerservice@lammes.com.
What does the "Shipping Date" refer to at checkout?
This is the day you are requesting us to ship your order. This is not the requested delivery date. On some occasions we may need to delay your shipping date due to weather concerns or inventory. If your order is of a time-sensitive nature, we always recommend calling our friendly Austin-based team at (512) 310-1885 to make all appropriate arrangements.
How does Lammes ship?
All orders placed on lammes.com and over the phone are processed from 8 AM to 5 PM CST Monday - Friday (except holidays). All orders ship from Austin, TX. We take great precaution in ensuring that your order arrives in excellent condition. Orders that are placed after 8 AM CST and contain Pralines, Kisses, Divinity, Carmelitos, or Peanut Brittle will be processed and shipped the following day, unless a later shipping date is requested. Most orders that are placed after 8 AM CST Wednesday - Friday and contain chocolates or mints will be shipped the following Monday. Please see the section below titled "Warm Weather Shipping" for more information.
Orders containing a street address within the continental USA are shipped via UPS Ground unless expedited shipping is selected by the customer at checkout. Shipping addresses that are automatically a 1-2 day ship point will not see expedited shipping options at checkout. UPS picks up and delivers Monday - Friday (except holidays ). UPS does not deliver on Saturday or Sunday.
All P.O.Boxes, Alaska, Hawaii, APO, & FPO addresses are shipped USPS. A $3 surcharge is added to all USPS orders (to avoid this provide a street address). NO surcharge on APO or FPO addresses.
Warm Weather Shipping
Most orders received 8 AM CST Wednesday - Friday that contain chocolates or mint candies will ship the following Monday. During this timeframe, we are not shipping chocolates or mints internationally or to PO Box/APO addresses.
From May 13 through October, all chocolates and mints are shipped with warm weather packaging at an additional $5 per shipping address. This is to ensure the candy does not melt in transit. This packaging includes a reusable ice pack, insulation, and may require expedited delivery. Currently we are unable to ship chocolates and mint candies outside the 48 contiguous states, or to P.O. Boxes.
To avoid the $5 warm weather packaging fee, and to ensure your order is processed and shipped as quickly as possible, we recommend our Pralines, Kisses, Divinity, Carmelitos, and Peanut Brittle.
If the shipping destination falls within a 1-2 day ship point, an order containing chocolates or mints are shipped UPS Ground. If the destination is a 3+ day ship point, 2nd Day Air is required. Note: Some states are split across different shipping zones. See the UPS and USPS Transit Time chart below to find your ship points.

I'm trying to check out but there are no shipping methods available. What do I do?
Tip #1: Ensure that you are not trying to send a chocolate or mint product internationally or to a P.O. Box or APO address. During the warm-weather season we cannot ship meltable candies via USPS. You'll need to provide a street address within the 48 contiguous states OR ship one of our 5 non-meltable candies. We recommend our Texas Chewie Pecan Pralines!
Tip #2: Double check your shipping address city, state, and zip code. Our system runs an address verification process and will not retrieve shipping methods if the address was entered incorrectly.
