Shipping FAQ

How do I get free shipping?2021-10-06T13:33:59-07:00

We offer Free Shipping on Canadian orders that are over $149 before tax, but after any discounts. If the option for Free Shipping is not showing up at checkout, this means that your order has not met these requirements.

What are my payment options?2021-08-31T08:34:59-07:00

We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover and JCB cards on our website.

When will I receive my order?2021-08-31T08:47:08-07:00

We frequently make small batches of our products to ensure they arrive as fresh as possible, which quite often means we make our products to order. We strive to process, produce and ship all orders within 2 – 4 days or less of receiving them. Processing times may be longer during peak times (Holidays).

We will send you a confirmation email once your order has been shipped. Below are estimates of delivery time in Canada using our standard shipping method (Canada Post Expedited Parcel) to major urban areas. Business days are Monday to Friday. Shipping times to more remote areas or during peak shipping times (such as Holidays) may be longer. Please note: these times are estimates and are not guaranteed.

**Please be aware that Canada Post has been experiencing some shipping delays during this pandemic. Please allow for extra time for your order to arrive. We do not guarantee shipping times, and are unable to refund your order once it has been shipped**  

Vancouver Island, Gulf Islands & Mainland BC: 1-2 business days
Alberta & Saskatchewan: 2-4 business days
Manitoba, Ontario & Quebec: 3-5 business days
Newfoundland, New Brunswick, PEI & Nova Scotia: 4-7 business days

We are unable to accurately predict shipping times for orders shipped to the US, due to possible customs delays.

What are the options for shipping?2021-08-31T08:50:11-07:00

During checkout you will be able to choose from several different options based on price and speed of delivery.

Warm Weather Shipping2021-08-31T08:52:36-07:00

During the warm weather months, we take extra measures to protect your order.

All orders must be shipped with a maximum of two day shipping time to guarantee that your order will arrive unaffected. All other shipping options will be at your own risk.

Orders will be packed with ice packs and insulated padding to protect your chocolates. We charge a small fee on all orders to partially cover the cost of these extra shipping supplies.

**Orders outside of BC will be longer than 2 day delivery with the Flat Rate and Free Shipping options.

**In warm weather months, we may hold back your shipment to ensure the quickest delivery time.

What makes you different from other chocolate companies?2021-08-31T09:04:49-07:00

Pure Lovin’ Chocolate is a family owned and operated company, located in beautiful Victoria BC, Canada. We focus on producing top quality confections, made from only the best organic, local and natural ingredients. We do not use any artificial flavourings or colours and we produce a full line of Vegan, Soy Free and Gluten Free products. We strive to make our products as pure and simple, as well as delicious and decadent, as possible.

What about allergies?2021-08-31T09:06:25-07:00

Although we strive to keep all of our products pure and free of allergens, there are some circumstances beyond our control that can cause our products to contain trace amounts of certain allergens.

PEANUTS and TREE NUTS: We do use peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pecans and cashews in some of our products, which means that all of our products have the possibility to contain peanuts and tree nuts, even if it is not an intended ingredient.

DAIRY: We do not add dairy to any of our products.

The 71% dark chocolate that we use is made without the addition of dairy, but is manufactured in a facility that also produces milk chocolate. The chance of cross-contamination is extremely slim, but for safety and legality reasons, we must say that there may be a chance that our dark chocolate products contain traces of dairy, even though dairy is never an intended ingredient.

Our vegan white and vegan milk chocolate are made in house, and are completely dairy free, with no chance of cross contamination.

SOY: Our chocolates do not contain any soy lecithin. Soy is not added in any other way to our products, so our products are completely soy free.

GLUTEN: Our gluten free products are prepared in a controlled environment that eliminates any exposure to gluten. We have tested our products to ensure that they are gluten free, as required by the laws of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

SESAME: Some of our products may contain traces of sesame and sesame seeds even though sesame is never an intended ingredient.

What is Organic?2021-08-31T09:07:30-07:00

Organic farming uses no chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or GMOs, and is designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Organic cacao farming is especially important, as only cotton crops use more pesticides worldwide then conventional (non-organic) cacao farming. Also, cacao is most often grown in tropical rain forest regions; growing organically helps preserve these environments and the animals and vegetation that live within them.

What is Fair Trade?2021-08-31T09:08:24-07:00

Fair Trace certification assures fair prices and fair working conditions for farmers growing the cacao beans used to produce our chocolate.

What is Vegan?2021-08-31T09:09:15-07:00

All of our products are Vegan, which means they’re made without animal ingredients (no eggs, dairy, butter or honey, or any other products derived from animals), and with non-bone char processed sugars.

Where can I buy your products?2021-11-09T08:43:49-08:00

We have a retail location in Downtown Victoria, and also sell our products at many local stores (please see our Retail Locations page) as well as accepting online orders year round. We ship all across Canada and the US, and offer pickup in Central Victoria.
