How to Send Chocolate to India Without It Melting

Most common customer question: "Sis, the chocolate won't melt in India right?"

Honest answer: depends on city, season, and packaging. Let me break it down.

When chocolate is safe to send:

• November–February: very safe. India temp 15–25°C, like Bandung.
• March–May: must use ice pack. Temps can hit 35–42°C.
• June–August: monsoon, 28–34°C. Safe if packed right.
• September–October: safe again.

Packaging we use at AiiDell:

1. Chocolate into vacuum plastic
2. Wrapped in aluminum foil
3. Gel ice pack added (not ice cubes — wets stuff)
4. Into small styrofoam
5. Wrapped in cardboard

Extra cost only around Rp 25k. But chocolate arrives solid.

Most heat-resistant chocolate:

• Cadbury Dairy Milk (bar form) — most durable
• Toblerone — fragile but heat-resistant
• Silverqueen Indonesia — Indian favorite, durable if packed cold
• Ferrero Rocher — NOT recommended April–June, melts easily

Avoid:

• Liquid-filled chocolates (truffle, ganache)
• Homemade pralines
• Raw artisan chocolate

From experience:
If you want to send Indonesian chocolate not available in India (Silverqueen Chunky Bar, Tango Wafer, Beng-Beng), it's a HUGE hit. Many Indians never tried it and think of you every time they eat one.

If unsure, start with 2–3 bars. If safe, then send big hampers.
