I'm in BP right now! Anywhere to get them? (I would go to CH but I'm afraid the parade will get me!)

Shelf life is 2 years. They will be in BP and Lakewood this month, IY"H.

Can be sooner and cheaper if you know of any BP or Lakewood store that wants to pick up 20-30 cases from our A/C space in CH.
They'll can get rock-bottom prices and then pass the low pricing to their dedicated customers. Looking into KRM, etc...

For now, the plan is to be Pomegranate, Seasons, Brachs, Gourmet Glatt and several CH stores.
(PA and OH stores this week. And FL and CA are on the list for this month.)

great idea -- We are researching cool overnight shipping.

2 medium boxes made it to California before Shavuos via flat rate USPS Express Overnight.

Arrived cool, fresh, and delicious. They raved that it was better than TJ's -- and they really know chocolate.
(This system was $45 per box - shipping - plus cost of ice pack and 6 bags of cc. That's available now.
Will see costs for 2-day shipping + ice packs instead.)

Yes. We have a distributor that we're working with for CA for retail stores, so when his truck can bring them to LA, we'll let you know.

Some LA friends received them already via overnight USPS. If individuals 'need' 6 bags sooner than that with ice-packs and 2 day shipping, please PM and we'll make a price.

In bp you definitely need to go to krm.

-1
official specs recommend 54-68 degrees. That's a typical room temperature. (Not a fridge)

But in a truck or a warehouse in NY in June -- that's too hot. Will melt. So, it's in a rented A/C space of 68 degrees in CH.

Makes sense

(try telling DW that typical room temperature is 68)

I would be interested in a case or 2 (or 3) but can't get to CH that late. Are there any daytime pickup options?

Located in NJ. I would be bringing 1-2 cases to Toronto. I was hoping to get it directly from you so it would be the cheapest.

Oh, cool -- We want to get these in Toronto, so that's great! When you succeed, we can work out a distribution system there on a larger scale in time for the fall Yomim Tovim.

Yes, it's cheapest from me. Where in NJ?
