Can’t beat the price, they are Hershey’s, so if you like what you ordered in general, you’ll be happy, it’s the same as Hershey’s is anywhere in North America...
...and they came as they always do for me, with at least one reusable, frozen gel pack (and in an extra plastic bag itself, presumably an extra precaution against any remote chance of a gel pack leak, though the box of chocolate bars of course has shrink wrap over it) to help keep them from melting.
It’s quite hot today (90° F and climbing, a typical June day around here), so I kept an eye out, and collected it as soon as it was delivered. The first one is in perfect condition...clearly, I’ll be waiting at least a little, teensy while to see what the rest of them look like;). The puffy, waterproof package is made of extra thick, waterproof padding, protecting the box of candy. Very well packaged indeed!
The cooling pack was just beginning to reach average temp, still just slightly cool after its distant and hot journey (and usually is, though in cooler months, it is usually still partially frozen. Please remember, there IS a limit to how long they’ll last in hot weather, so don’t expect it to sit on your porch all day in the heat and not be melted, regardless of how well they do their part in packaging it for you. A giant cube of ice would also melt, even if they sent 20# of ice, or used expensive dry ice. There simply is a limit... After all, they are charging a quite fair price...
It arrived quickly, and I’m sure they expedite it for just that purpose, to keep the chocolate intact, so it’s up to you to do your part and be ready to snatch it up when it arrives and bring it inside to enjoy it. Don’t wait hours on end when it’s hot or even very warm outside.
Also, to get the most out of the deal, reuse those cooling gel packs. Keep them in the freezer for injuries/emergencies/headaches/a cool pack if you get hot while sleeping, as some do who perhaps don't have a good cooling system in their home or apartment, and for your summer picnic/beverage cooler. Storing each in an extra ziploc freezer bag makes them hold up longer. The thick, waterproof padding also has many reuses for storage and other purposes (have some fun and get on YouTube for unique ideas on reusing the various types of Amazon packaging you receive)...as for me, it’s a great chocolate deal with a plus or two inside, so I say thank you. Yes, thank you!
