Some larger gift packaging items require more preparation and lead time. We will make our best effort to get the items to you quickly and with least cost. You will be advised of the lead time if the gift is not shipped next day.

Freshness, Quality and Choices at Leonidas apply also in our Service. However, if for any reason your order does not meet with your satisfaction, contact us by email and enclose pictures for a prompt, courteous response. However, we cannot replace shipment when the damage is caused by Fedex or if the shipment was damaged after arrival, or if Fedex did not deliver on time/perform as contracted.

All orders placed before 10:00am CST will be processed that same day. If your order is placed after 11:00am CST, please allow 24 hours for processing.  You need to ensure that someone is at shipment destination to receive the order - Leonidas is not responsible for loss or damages caused by shipment delays.

Warm temperature states:
Since temperatures vary across the country we may elect not to ship over a weekend to guarantee its arrival in premium condition. Therefore, we can not guarantee Monday deliveries on any order.

Christmas and Valentines may also extend the Fedex ground shipping times and we cannot guarantee their on time performance. We are also subject to Force Majeure and issues that the shipping company may face. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
