Substitutions
Tin and decorative carton designs are sometimes limited due to demand. We reserve the right to substitute designs of equal or greater value.
Chocolate
Due to the nature of our chocolate, we only ship items containing chocolate between October 1 and March 31 of each season. Chocolate can still melt during transit if temperatures in the shipping area are still too warm. Please keep in mind temperatures when selecting chocolate items. We do not ship any items with dry ice or other cooling packs. Chocolate can also obtain a white “bloom” on it from a change in temperature. This is normal and doesn’t impact the taste or quality of the chocolate.
Breakage
We do our best to minimize breakage in transit; however, pretzels will experience some breakage in shipping. (Cheese, Crunchzels® and Little Cheesers® pretzels may experience complete breakage during shipment.) We reserve the right to use our discretion in determining replacement/refunds on a case-by-case basis.
Return Policy
Please be sure you are ordering the right product. Due to food safety concerns, returns are not accepted. We accept returns if we ship the incorrect item or if the item is damaged in shipment. If you do have a problem with your shipment, email us at csr@tomsturgispretzels.com or call our toll free number 1-800-777-3314 between the hours of 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM EST. We’ll happily address your comments or concerns.
