I got mine, too.  I only opened 1 bag, but they're in great condition.  And delicious. Good luck on all the deliveries.

Great. They are fresh and they should be delivered in perfect condition. (The TX deliveries may have been too hot.)

Final week -- Almost finished with the Amazon FBA until after summer. SALE $13.99 for a 6 pack! FREE 2-Day shipping on Amazon Prime.

Great! Excellent Summer sale/Amazon FBA clearance prices. What did your wife make with the mini-chips?
(As a verified customer, can you/she write a quick review about how much she likes them? http://bit.ly/MiniChipsReview6PK ) Thanks!

FYI- I just got three bags from Amazon, and the chips are half molten together. Hope you don't get ant negative reviews online. One bag is pretty OK, but the other two...

Thanks CS1. Just got the replacements, and they are fine. I hope to try them over shabbos, as well as the other goodies that you sent for me to sample.
Thanks CS1 for quickly replacing my order in time for Shabbos!. Grear customer service!

Amazon Prime is sold out due to their FBA rules about shipping any chocolate chips in hot summer months. (It's on regular Amazon, but for some, costs too much -- Does she live near one of the 300 stores?)
Email us at admin@californiagourmet.net for direct shipping options. We also have 51% cocoa soy-free coming soon. We'll send some 72% mini-chunks with purchase, as well... Very fresh and rich.)

that was a special limited-time offer of an Amazon Prime sale in order to clear out all of the FBA inventory before Prime ships back all summer chocolate chips.
They don't want to take responsibility for melting. (As you see, they sent DDFer 'username' a 3-pk from TX where it was 90 degrees...)
Over 2,000 bags sold via FBA!

We can do a similar rate, however needs to be higher volume in order to cover shipping... PM me and I'll give you pricing options.

I see that Amazon is selling lots of chocolate chips via Prime Now in NY, from their warehouse on top of 2nd Ave.

Are you able to sell there as well?
Then you'd be able to supply nearly all of Brooklyn. (I'm not seeing many varieties locally...)

It would also make a great filler item ($20 min order)!

Great idea! Will look into it. We had a great Amazon and Amazon Prime selling run in the spring; sold thousands of units.
Shipping chocolate in the summer gets tricky and Amazon Prime set up dates where they cannot store them in their Prime location.
(I see Ghirardelli for $3.19. That's low if they ship to Prime warehouse and also pay the same Amazon Prime fees as the regular Prime warehouse.)
We'd still be much less than Enjoy Life at $4.69 on Prime Now.

not yet. We have new pallets to ship to NY/NJ next week.

1) Do they need them pre-packed with Amazon-FBA Asins?
2) Are there any CA warehouses (temp controlled 50-70 degrees) that have space/loading dock for truck-pick ups and/or Amazon shipments?

Wish I knew, but I don't sell on amazon...
Maybe someone on the Amazon thread has experience with Prime Now?

All I know is that they sell chocolate in the summer via Prime Now..

Perhaps it's a private Amazon-selling company in NY. Then, they sell to Amazon Fresh?

Also, people recommended this Truly Commerce group in CA, but their website is down: https://www.linkedin.com/company/truly-commerce

they are for sale at different prices around NY/NJ. BenZ's in CH has several types (Regular 45%, Mini-chips 45%, and soy-free Mini-chips 51%.)
Cedar Market has them in stock often at good prices. Gourmet Glatt, Seasons, The Kosher MarketPlace, etc...
They are in the Vegan section in Pomegranate (a customer told me that they were on sale at Buy One Get One...)

When did the packaging change ?

We made new "blue-soy-free" nut-free packaging in the summer:
http://bit.ly/AmazonPRIMEsoyFreeDDF

And, the new "red" packaging was made at the beginning of the "fall baking season".
It's a more airtight plastic, and less likely to rip apart in the boxes.
Is that what you are referring to?

Do you like the new "red bags"?
We also made a new "mini-chips" red bags with the new, dedicated UPC.
Taking suggestions from DDFers for a new color and/or design for the red-45%-cocoa mini-chips. Any color or style preferences to show that it's a different product than the "red regular" chips?
