What is your policy regarding state sales tax?

Jelly Belly collects sales tax from you when we ship an order into a state where we have a legal obligation to collect such tax.

The information below is for customers who take delivery of merchandise in other states:

  • Jelly Belly does not collect sales or use tax in states that do not require collection of sales tax on orders shipped into that state.
  • The purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet or by Phone.
  • Some states require customers to report their purchases that were not taxed and pay use tax on those purchases. Customers should check their state's reporting requirements for tax forms to be used for this purpose.
  • Tax Exempt? Please contact us before placing your order so we can ensure your account is set up with the appropriate credentials.

What should I know about warm-weather shipping?

We want you to receive your order in the best possible condition. During warm-weather months (April through October), we strongly recommend using Express shipping (2-Day or Overnight) for orders with at least one Heat-Sensitive item. If you choose a slower method, including 3-Day, you run the risk of receiving (and take responsibility for) heat-damaged or melted candy.

Whether you choose Ground or Expedited, we’ll include a cold pack (free of charge). An order with Ground shipping will ship at the earliest opportunity. An order with Expedited shipping (3-Day, 2-Day and Overnight) will ship during a specific time frame to give it the best chance to reach you in good condition. Please refer to the shipping charts below for exact shipping and delivery days. If you miss a shipping window, we'll hold your order until the following Monday so that your items aren't damaged in transit.

We will only cold-pack items that contain products sensitive to heat, such as chocolates or gummis, and a "Warm-Weather Warning" note appears on the product details page for every affected product. Harry Potter™ chocolate items are especially sensitive and for these, we recommend Express shipping year-round.

If you have any questions about warm-weather shipping, please don't hesitate to Contact Us.
