Thread: Belgian Chocolates for you!

Ok I went to the store today, and checked out the chocolate isle.
There are a lot of flavors. White, brown, dark, pitch black with 76 or 80 % of cacao, with orange peel or some type of berry, with nuts, with filling...

Prices vary a bit but are close enough to each other so I ask 3 dollar per 100 grams. Just tell me what kind of chocolate you want, and how much.
My margin will vary with the type, but it's not like I am making THAT much profit anyway so I chose to be on the safe (for me ) side.

Then I will calculate how much it will cost to ship, and what the paypal fees are.
I cannot tell shipping in advance because it will depend on whether I can stuff it in a padded envelope, or if it needs a box.

If you want to get chocolate to impress you s.o., I can get you something called mignonettes. They are high quality 2 x 3 inch wafers of choclate, each wrapped individually. They are the same price, but they are sold in boxes so they will not fit in padded envelopes.

Another nice thing are belgian cookies, covered with belgian chocolate. These will go for 8.5 dollar per box of 300 grams. A bit more expensive, but very good stuff.

Now for the waffles:
Very good traditional waffles with vanilla cream filling: 300 grams (6 pcs) in total for 5 dollar.
sugar waffles (with or without chocolate on top) 5 pcs of 57 grams each for 5 dollar.
Actually, waffles are pretty big so they will have to be shipped in a box, which might be too expensive to be practical, but if you combine with an amount of chocolate, it might be more economical.

So if you want anything, just let me know and I will work out something.
Alcohol is not possible atm because the amount of paperwork makes it impractical.
One thing however: I will not be responsible for shipping accidents. I am not going to make a refund because some postal officer in Texas left his bag in a closed shed without airco for half a day
I am only making a small margin, and if I have to refund even one package I might as well not have taken the trouble to do this in the first place.

I think many will be interested in the chocolates, I know I will be but my suggestion is to not ship during the summer months. I can guarantee the order will sit in a hot truck for hours and for instance where I live its approaching 100F through September so I will wait until at least mid october before ordering.

Those were my thoughts also!

Good point.
I will make the offer again come october / november so you can all give your relatives / loved ones a sweet surprise for the holidays

As soon as it gets cooler, I'm pretty sure you can count me in. My missus about had an o when I gave her German chocolate. All you guys with ladies know how invaluable the high cacao content stuff is during "the" week Experiments should be done on the chemical reactions- I betcha they'd find that it turns into a narcotic!

Good grief! You mean I've got 3 more months of lurking on this thread, dreaming of Belgian chocolates and waffles?????

Trust me.....if the dam breaks, I could go on a feeding frenzy of biblical proportions!

SERENITY NOW!
