Hello All,

Came across this and thought I'd post it....

Not sure about it being a huge 'bargain' but worth a look as a unique option for Valentines day.

Mine arrived this morning - a cute little 35g chocolate bar with a personal inscription on the front and back - not bad for a couple of quid! :thumbs:

Do the send it anonymously?

It would be unfortunate if it arrived with an invoice attached.

when you get to the order confirmation stage there is an option to leave comments/instructions for the seller.

You can just leave a note there asking them not to put in a packing slip/invoice etc... at least that's what I did :)

are these actually personalized on the choc itself or is it just a printed wrapper. if its the latter then it'll take about 10 mins to knock something up like that in any DTP package to wrap around a bar of decent choc.

It's on the wrapper - my other half hasn't opened her bar yet, so can't tell you whether it's actually on the chocolate itself or not...

Still looks nice though. :)

Rats!

They use ******** paypal and I can't ensure that it gets sent to a different address.


God, I hate paypal.

Yes but it would be good if you could guarantee that it was posted anonymously should that be a required feature.

Unfortunately they use ******* paypal and you can't be sure.

I bought one bar today and was able to enter an alternative despatch address without any problem.

I also added a note to the seller within the checkout process requesting that they don't put any payment/invoicing inside the package, just in case.

I'm sure the chocolate will suck badly (cheap) but it's a nice gimmick.

I've been caught out with paypal before. I was supposed to be able to add instructions to a payment and it sudddenly put up a payment confirmed screen before I ever got the chance. They're just not trustworthy.

I also don't ever remember seeing an option for a different delivery address using paypal.

£1.50 for 35g (~1.25 oz) of chocolate is extremely expensive. I would have hoped the chocolate would not be cheap.

I don't mean this is cheap - I suspect the chocolate will be fairly cheap tasting.

Re: the address - as I already have a PP account, it showed my normal home address but I just clicked the 'change' link just beneath this and entered a new one (my GF's).

DISAASTER!

I stupidly went ahead with the paypay payment and it did not offer me a chance to add instructions to the seller.

DO NOT USE THIS IF IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR STUFF IS SENT ANONYMOUSLY

Got a very nice reply from them when I emailed them and they assure me the order will be sent anonymously.

Outside of Yorkshire we tend not to send valentines to our mums. ;)
