The Santas have arrived at our Chocolate Wonderland. Now it's time to pack the parcels, and we hope to have all orders processed by Monday 🙂

The Santas have arrived safely in Sweden. You'll never guess what and where they had breakfast this morning! Find out here: Greetings from your chocolate Santa.
++++++ Status November 25, 2019 ++++++++++
The chocolate from Dammenberg is on its way as planned and has likely already left Finland. And once again, something no one expected is happening: stocks of nut-free varieties are shrinking so drastically that some varieties will soon be sold out, once again before the chocolate has even arrived at our Chocolate Wonderland. This time, it's primarily the Nut-Free Santa Claus made of milk chocolate - 34% (Dammenberg)
So if you need a decorated Santa Claus , you have to hurry…

The Santas set off on their journey this morning. Hopefully, the strike in Finland won't interfere with our plans on Monday... ( Sympathy strikes in Finland could affect flights, ferries )

Dammenberg: Today (Thursday, November 21st), our Santas went into production at Dammenberg. If all goes well, they'll be on their way tomorrow :). Upon arrival, all outstanding Christmas orders will be shipped to you promptly...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We placed a follow-up order in Finland on Wednesday, November 13, 2019. The previous Santa Claus delivery sold out before it arrived at the Chocolate Wonderland! We expect the chocolate to arrive by Monday, December 9th at the latest! This means that orders with a Santa Claus will be shipped to you this week at the latest! We will keep you updated on the current delivery status on this page… Of course, we will ship earlier if the Santa Clauses arrive first!
First delivery (all Santa Clauses are already sold out):

Dammenberg: We now have an approximate time frame for when the chocolate will arrive next Wednesday: between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. If possible, we will enter the goods into our system the same day and ship as many orders to you as possible. All open Christmas orders should then have been shipped to you by Saturday, November 15th!

Cocoa Libre: The Cocoa Libre chocolate has just arrived. If everything goes well, we can ship all orders for which we now have all varieties in stock tomorrow! So, we'll be working a little longer for you today 🙂

Dammenberg: The nut-free, soy-free, and dairy-free Santas, Advent calendar figures, baking chocolate, and many other varieties are now packaged and ready to embark on a long journey. By truck through Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and finally to Chocolate Wonderland 🙂 Over 200 kg of chocolate especially for you 🙂
++++++ Status October 29, 2019 ++++++++++
Plamil : Yesterday (Monday), the last remaining Plamil pre-orders were sent out to you! We worked almost all day Sunday to get through the mountain of pre-orders 🙂 It was a lot of fun, because we know lots of children will be excited about the Advent calendars , the gift boxes, and the other nut-free Christmas varieties 🙂
Dammenberg: We are in constant contact with Mr. Iso-Kungas from Dammenberg. Today we received the following message from him: " Hi Kim, Your order is ready on pallet now. I'm just waiting for a transport offer from DHL, which should be a much better option for us. Delivery is on the way, latest end of the week. See you soon! Marko. "
The Santas' grand journey through five countries will soon begin...! But you'll have to be patient...
++++++ Status October 26, 2019 ++++++++++
Plamil : As expected, the first Plamil partial delivery arrived yesterday evening. The chocolate arrived via DHL Express via Frankfurt. We worked a late shift and prepared all the packages for shipping, for which all chocolate varieties are now in stock. This morning, these Plamil orders went out to you 🙂
And to those of you who still have to wait and won't receive your chocolate from us next week: We'll ship immediately once all the varieties you ordered are in stock, we promise! Unfortunately, the delivery of Dammenberg chocolate is taking longer and longer (due to geographical reasons alone). And the status regarding Dammenberg chocolate is:
Dammenberg: Unfortunately, there's still no news. Some of the Dammenberg varieties we ordered are already sold out at the Chocolate Wonderland before the chocolate even arrives :( So please don't wait too long to order if you still need nut-free and soy-free Santas! We know from experience that there usually aren't enough for everyone in the end...
++++++ Status October 24, 2019 ++++++++++
Plamil : As agreed, the Plamil chocolate was shipped from Maidstone this morning and is on its way to Heathrow! 🙂 So, your chocolate will arrive in Frankfurt by tomorrow evening at the latest. From there, it will be sent directly to us via express delivery! And more good news: We were able to pre-order some varieties, so we'll definitely receive a partial delivery on Friday! All orders that we can process by then will be shipped on Saturday! (We're scheduling a weekend shift because we're receiving an incredible number of orders, which we're really pleased about. 🙂
Dammenberg: The chocolate is currently being produced at Dammenberg. Unfortunately, we haven't received an exact delivery date from Mr. Iso-Kungas yet. However, since we only definitely need the Advent calendars from Plamil before December, we're looking forward to the delivery with confidence. We'll ask Finland for a preliminary shipping date next week...

Even though we were prepared for a rush based on our Easter experience, we were still surprised by the number of pre-orders we received for Plamil's Christmas chocolates from England and for the Dammenberg Santas from Finland!
THANK YOU for this great vote of confidence!
So today is the big day, when we sent your orders to Plamil and Dammenberg. To ensure you don't take any risks, we already sent advance notice to Plamil and Dammenberg last week. This way, we could ensure the availability of all varieties.
Today, all missing Christmas varieties were ordered in England (Plamil) and Finland (Dammenberg).
And so it continues:
Plamil will ship the chocolate in the next 2-3 days. From Maidstone in southeast England, the chocolate will be sent via express delivery to London Heathrow. Upon arrival the next day, all varieties will be loaded onto a plane that same day and flown to Frankfurt, from where they will be transported to our chocolate wonderland the following day by freight forwarder. The plan is to have all varieties in stock by Monday of next week. We will then use the next 2-3 days to process all Plamil orders (and these will be long working days, as there are a lot of orders). If, contrary to expectations, it takes longer (at the airport, during processing, etc.), we will inform you on this page!
Unfortunately, Dammenberg will take a little longer. Mr. Iso-Kungas will likely ship the chocolate to us in the last week of October. It will then travel via freight forwarding through five countries: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and finally to Schoko-Wunderland. The freight forwarding company needs about six days for this long journey! We should have processed all Dammenberg orders and shipped them to you by the week starting November 10th at the latest. So you'll be perfectly prepared for Christmas and make your children happy 🙂
By the way: We've received so many Plamil orders from you that we were able to pre-order some varieties in England last week. So, your orders may ship earlier if all varieties arrive with us by then...
We are excited to see what happens next and will keep you updated here as soon as possible…
