Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I order candy now for delivery later?

    Yes, and this is encouraged, especially with seasonal products. But don’t wait too long so your customers will know you’ll have what they want. You may even find you’ll need to re-order later and have extra profits for the season!

  • If I have an account with one of Gorman’s manufacturers, will another of their manufacturers ship to me on credit?

    We don’t handle any accounting–the individual manufacturers do, so your accounts are set up individually with them. Each manufacturer from which you wish to buy will want to set up a separate account for you.

  • Can I get chocolates during hot weather?

    Yes, but it’s a fact that candy must be protected from heat or it will melt. We will help you choose the best shipping option to keep your costs as low as possible.

  • From what city does your candy ship?

If you are interested in something in particular, tell us specifically what you would like so we can get you the correct information.
