why did I not realize that trying to order a gift of chocolate online would be exactly as full of bait-and-switch drop-shipping scams as ordering flowers is
it's exactly the same scam, to the point that it was literally 1-800-FLOWERS that called to say they wouldn't be able to fulfill the order
@arborelia oh right I'm gonna be struggling with this to get Bea her gift...
@arborelia I think this may be one of the things where your best bet is to look for a place local to where you're sending to. Which is annoying and homework-y, but would end up both cheaper and more reliable.

Excellent, lovely packaging, and they ship
@arborelia
esther price
friesinger's chocolates
bellbrook chocolates
all local that do shipping
buckeye chocolates is up near cleveland but also do shipping too
they were trying to get me to accept a substitution of boring Godiva milk chocolate two weeks late
anyone got any recommendations for a chocolate-sending company that actually stocks chocolate?
