As the weather gets warmer, the risk of melting candies is higher. Golden Gait Mercantile ships all candy without temperature preserving items. If you are in a region that has heat capable of melting what you order, you should also order an ice pack. They can help preserve the state of your melt-able goods! That being said, even if you do order an ice pack, we cannot guarantee that your order will arrive to you without melting.
