All right, Totally Chocolate has officially joined the ranks of web bloggers! Why? Well, we want to hear from those using our customized chocolate along with anyone interested in gourmet chocolate in general. So what exactly do we do? Well we start with the best chocolate, Belgian chocolate, and we add nothing! We reshape it but would not think about messing with perfection from our European experts. We are all about putting your logo or message into chocolate in an impressive package. This business has grown steadily over the last twenty years as the word gets out and past customers return year after year. They use them at trades shows, special events, company anniversaries, employee recognition, and of course, gifts during the holidays. Write us and tell us how you have used your customized chocolate and the reaction it generated!

A HUGE Thank you to the team at Totally Chocolate! The chocolate bars we ordered turned out wonderful and were a big hit at our event. People were so impressed with how they looked and tasted! The staff at totally chocolate were very professional and provided excellent customer service (we were working with a tight deadline and they worked very hard to help us meet that).We will definitely be ordering from you again!

"WOW!" is not adequate enough to describe the customer service we received from Totally Chocolate! Your customer service and the quality of your products was superb. We worked with a extremely tight turnaround time and you STILL beat our deadline. I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a first-rate customized chocolate product. We hope to order again!

Hi Dori,
Everything went well. The candy arrived on time and everything fell
into place. I think we had 4 bars left over. I really appreciate your
help - you really know your business and you knew the right answers to
my many questions for a "last minute request". I enjoyed talking to you
more than the candy bar,

Have a great summer,

I was so surprised when our purchasing department called to tell me our chocolates we ordered were here - I said "that's impossible, I ordered them less than 24 hours ago!!!" But it was our chocolate medallions - nice and cool in a rare 80 degrees Seattle, in perfect condition. THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting them to us so quickly! We will definitely do business with Totally Chocolate again!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Zoe on a special project for a customer. She was willing to jump right in on a RUSH job, and she was fast, accessible and professional. Without her spunk and follow-through, this would have just been another dropped opportunity. Thank you, Zoe. We appreciate you at Chocolate.com.

Totally Chocolate, Totally Awesome! I work with Zoe, who is not only fantastic at her job, she's extremely friendly and great to converse with. Who would have ever thought chocolate could be so fun!!!

Thanks TC!

Dorene:

Thanks for all of your help and great customer service with my order. Everything arrived as planned and of course, the chocolate bars were a big hit with the employees. How can you go wrong with chocolate?

Thanks again for your great assistance with the order. More companies should take note of what great customer service is really like by dealing with a company like yours!

Zoe & Rhonda, I received the chocolate today, and it looks awesome! Our client is going to be so thrilled when they see all of their logos beautifully displayed, and then even more excited when they taste it! Everyone that I've worked with from Totally Chocolate has been extremely helpful and enthusiastic - I know we'll be back.

Thanks again!

Zoe,

We truly value the willingness of totally chocolate to replace the 30 shattered chocolate CD's we received with our recent order. I understand that you will get these produced and shipped in a week or so. You asked me to send details of the shipping experience.

We received 50 cases of CD's via FED-EX. Upon delivery, I observed the driver handling the boxes in a rough fashion - actually tossing the boxes from shelf to floor of truck. The boxes were clearly labelled "FRAGILE". The driver made account notes that 10/50 boxes had external damage upon delivery. I filed a FED-EX claim in my wifes name using the tracking # 098259481206813. Upon speaking to fedex today, they told me that totally chocolate should be the one's pursuing any claim with fedex. They also validated that account notes existed listing damage to 10 boxes.

Zoe, again we truly appreciate your immediate resolution. I must also commend your excellent customer service skills! I would welcome you to forward this note to your supervisor as testament of how pleased I was with my experience dealing with you. As you stated, your company wants each customer to have an excellent experience from order to receipt, and you certainly have lived up to this goal thus far. Thanks again for being so kind.

Hey Dori,
We got the CD’s and placed another order for different chocolates too. I wanted to tell you that the quality of your products is so much better that what we tried last year. We will not leave your company again. In fact, please make a note in our files to remind us to order around 150 next year instead of 100. Tell your staff thank you and Merry Christmas!

Dear Jennifer and Dori,

I wanted to let you know that the cookies you helped create arrived without a single one broken and they looked identical to the virtual proof that you sent to me. They were a big hit at our Holiday Party last week and I was totally impressed with Totally Chocolate! The cookies and chocolate were delicious and your customer service was great.

Thank you for all your help!

Best regards,

Hi Dorene,
Our event was yesterday and everyone loved the cookies. They looked fantastic and tasted even better.
You exceeded our expectations, and I appreciate the excellent customer service you offered us. We will definitely come back for more!
I do have one small question as well – if we were to order the exact same item again, are we charged the mold fee again?
Again, thanks!

We will be handing them out at our job fair this weekend and I know that we will run out before the end of the day. Thanks again and we look forward to working with you in the future!

Thank you so much for handling our order for the Gasmart 2009 event. The cookies were once again a huge success. They were absolutely delicious!!!

Everyone who walked by our booth was very impressed with this special gift. Not only is it an impressive presentation, but it is an even better treat to be enjoyed by many.



As always, you and your team @ Totally Chocolate have come thru for us. Also, this shipment arrived exactly when I needed it.

Hey Dorene, wanted to let you know, that as with previous projects you’ve done for us, the Kasidaya Chocolate “Energy” Bars promoting the dedication of our new hydro generation facility in Alaska were a HUGE hit with recipients! We sent them along with the printed invitations to attend the event, and to say the response has been “overwhelming” would be an understatement. Kudos to you and Totally Chocolate’s art department – it just doesn’t get any sweeter. You folks are first class!

Zoe,

Thanks for your quick reply to my questions about our upcoming customer appreciation order. I am very impressed with the level of customer service you provide. I hope you feel proud of the fact you have mastered what much of the "typical" salesperson has forgotten.

We always look forward to doing business with totally chocolate.

Hi Zoe!

Thank you so much for all of your help with our order! It's a little complicated when you have 10 offices involved in the order and you handled it perfectly! Thank you alos for the great discounts! Our office has been cutting back this year and I am so glad that we were able to lock in on the discounted price for the anniversary bars. Your expertise in this order were greatly appreciated! Joan

I'm a new customer to Totally Chocolate. I received nothing but the best in service as well as quality. My Totally Chocolate rep., Zoe, was not only professional, but wonderful to work with. She made a process that was new to me, easy and enjoyable. Thank you Zoe and thank you Totally Chocolate for caring about me as a person and not just being another $ figure. Totally Chocolate has all my future orders and I'll be telling all my friends about them.

Zoe was awesome - as well as everyone behind the scenes that did the work! I love our chocolate - I can't think of a better way to impress our families and the public than with our new logo on chocolate! I hope to order many more times! I'll tell everyone. Thanks for randomly sending me the catalog - you never know who will become your customer!
Thanks again!

To the Management of Totally Chocolate

In September I contacted your company to place a custom order for our Corporate Awards Celebration. Zoe Hoffman was my initial contact.. She was pleasant, professional, efficient, and her service was above and beyond. As we are located in Canada and the weather was unusually warm I had a some concerns about shipping. Her genuine care for her customer (Me) was very reasurring. My order was shipped on time, was well packed and insulated as she said it would be and the product was excellent. Thanks Zoe for all your help...our event was a huge success. I will definitely be looking at other items from your company for next years event.

Dorene,

We have not given the chocolate out yet. However, they look very good and we are very pleased with your service. Your art staff was very helpful and the design was just what we wished for. Your chocolate tastes great and we are proud to give it to our staff, volunteers and customers. You even beat the anticipated deliver date!

Thanks for all of your help getting this to us so quickly.

Thank you for making the chocolate ordering a smooth process! The custom pieces turned out great and fit our custom boxes perfectly! Totally Chocolate met our deadline a week early and we couldn't be happier with your service.

HI DORENE,

AS ALWAYS, RECEIVED CANDY WHEN EXPECTED. SHIPMENT WAS IN EXCELLECT CONDITION. ORDERING WAS A BREEZE.

THE EASE OF ORDERING, QUALITY OF PRODUCT, AND EXCELLECT CUSTOMER SERVICE, ARE THE REASONS ALBA ENTERPRISES KEEP COMING BACK YEAR AFTER FOR CANDY FROM TOTALLY CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!

Hi Dorene,

As usual, the chocolate is perfect and so is the customer service. Everything arrived on time and our “nerdy” artwork turned out awesome! The quality is unbeatable. We’ve given Totally Chocolate gifts for a few years now and our clients look forward to receiving them, sometimes to the point of asking when we’re sending them out. :)

I don’t think there’s anything you could have done better. I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Hi Dorene,

We have received the chocolates and are very happy with the service that has been provided. We placed an order this summer to receive the discounted rate and the boxes showed up right on time the beginning of December. It is nice to trust that when you place an order you don’t have to make a million follow up calls to know that it is going to show up on time and in good order.

Thanks for your help,

Congratualtions to Totally Chocolate! My laboratory team received a gorgeous box as a holiday gift from a supplier. We enjoyed it enormously- I'm even saving the box. The quality was excellent, the presentation was lovely- what a treat! If you are looking to understand how recipients feel about the gifts selected- I can attest that we felt like we had truly received a very high quality gift. I will be keeping this company in mind if I need to find an opportunity to pass along the kindness of a gift of chocolate..
Thanks for the spark in our work day.
