When you are sending a gift basket to a location where the daily temperatures are high, it is recommended to protect your gift(s) from the heat with thermal packaging. If you choose to substitute heat sensitive items, we will replace any cheese, fruit, chocolate items to non heat sensitive items to the same value. If you choose the “I take the risk” option, we will not be able to take any risk for any heat related damages. Thermal packaging must be selected for all cake gifts with 1 day express shipping option.
