I live in the US and needed to order a holiday gift for a client who lives in Comox, BC. I found Dark Side Chocolates online and immediately knew they were "the one" after looking through their offerings and reading some of their reviews.

When I needed to change the delivery date, Dark Side was prompt to respond and work with me + the courier to find a date that aligned with our client's holiday hours.
I had a great experience ordering from them and would do it...
