Information & FAQ's

What are your payment terms?
Due to the personalised nature of the majority of our chocolates, payment in advance of production is required in all cases without exception. We do not offer credit terms or deposit now and balance later - all orders are to be paid in full on issue of invoice before they are considered accepted by us. Our preferred method of payment is by bank transfer. We also accept Visa, Mastercard & AMEX but these payments are subject to a 2% surcharge of the total

Do you charge GST?
Yes - Prices listed on our website clearly state that they do not include GST, it will be added in at the rate of 10% on all invoices. In the 'Individual Orders' area of our website, prices include GST and generally no invoices are issued for these

What is the cost of delivery?
Email us with your requirements and we will calculate a price for you. Price will depend on order quantity, delivery location & courier service required, and type of packaging required due to weather conditions

How long does it take to deliver my order?
Time varies between products, lead times for each are on our product webpages. We will advise lead time when ordering, or if you need your order in a hurry, get in touch to discuss if we can rush our usual process.  The delivery time varies depending on location, and some geographical restrictions may apply. Please also note that we cannot deliver on weekends or public holidays

Do you export or deliver internationally?
We supply only to Australia & New Zealand

What happens if I have a complaint?
We do hope that none of our customers have any cause for complaint - we have taken great care in the design of our products and packaging to ensure that it arrives in perfect condition, but we acknowledge that on rare occasions things may not go to plan. If our products or service do not live up to your expectations please do not hesitate to send an email to sales@groovychocolate.com.au

We endeavor to ensure that any customer comments or complaints are dealt with in a professional, fair, confidential and effective manner. We guarantee to respond to all complaints and to keep you informed of the progress of any investigations necessary for the satisfactory resolution of your enquiry.

Complaints and customer comments are valuable to us and are actively encouraged. It is often only in this way that we are able to improve our current service standards for the benefit of all. Please note that we cannot entertain any claims for melted products in transit where our recommendation for packaging or courier service level is ignored

Do GroovyChocolate products contain nuts?
Unless clearly indicated (eg Macadamia shortbread, Hazelnut Truffles) the answer is no, but we cannot guarantee that our products do not contain traces of nuts. The factories where our products are made may use nuts in some of their other products, and despite using the latest techniques there is always a chance that some cross-contamination might occur
