We Beat the Heat with Coolers

This summer temperatures have been around 92 degrees and rising here in Fairfield, Ohio, where CARSON wrappedhersheys.com is located, and we know we’re not alone. All across the country different cities have seen record high temperatures this summer.

 My order arrived today in perfect shape despite a 102 temperature in Maryland. Thank you for such careful packing.”

You may now be curious as to how we beat the heat in the summer months when shipping our chocolate to our customers. Here's how we do it:

When we  receive an order we look it over very carefully. We monitor temperatures in the many different cities we receive orders from and select prime shipping days so that the wrapped chocolate avoids weekends transits during the warm months. Once the order is ready to be packed, we place it in an insulated cooler and add a frozen gel pack to keep the air cool around the chocolate. This ensures that the chocolate will be delivered to each of our customers in its true form and shape. It is our guarantee that we will create your order as requested, and that your order will arrive to you in excellent condition for your event.

We know that each customer deserves the perfect wrapped bar to show off at their event. There are a few other ways you can ensure that you receive your personalized favors in excellent condition. 

• Always ship to an address where someone will be home to retrieve the package upon arrival. This will ensure that the bars do not sit outside in the heat or direct sunlight for any length of time.
• If you work during the day and don’t have anyone close that would be home for the delivery – have your order shipped to your business address.
•  UPS makes deliveries anywhere from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to residential areas and deliveries during business hours if it is going to a business address.
• We ship orders as soon as they are complete. If you know you will be on vacation  or away from home during a certain time period, just let us know and we can ensure your order is delivered on a specific date that works for you. 
• Although you may prefer for UPS to leave your package at the door, UPS drivers may require a signature upon delivery. Leaving a note on your door may help, and we can make an indication on the shipping label as well.
• If you have to step away for a few hours, leave a cooler with ice on your porch and a note asking UPS to place your package inside.
• Still worried about the heat? You can order wrappers only and pick up the Hershey’s bars yourself locally.
• UPS can deliver your order to a UPS Store or hold your package at their Customer Pick up counter upon request.

Do you still have questions? Feel free to call or email us. We will respond no later than one business day though usually within an hour or two.

Order our personalized chocolate favors for your next sweet moment – we can help you beat the heat!

Real People Beat Automated Voices

In a world where technology is taking over - from checking people out at stores to giving a status of an order on the phone - it is getting harder to find places where you can still receive live customer service.

At  wrappedhersheys.com our goal is to exceed our customer's expectations and one of the ways we do that is by providing exceptional customer service over the phone and by email. We realize establishing lasting relationships with our customers is the most important aspect of our business, which is why if you pick up the phone to call us you will automatically be connected to a friendly and helpful customer service representative on the other end. Is email more your forte? We guarantee that we will respond to any email sent to us within one business day.

One of our newest representatives, Alyssa, has taken our goal and turned it into her daily mission to be as helpful as she can to each and every customer she interacts with over the phone. It is important to her that at the end of every phone call she has in some way helped the person on the other end, whether that is giving suggestions for the perfect wrapper or explaining our different shipping options. One of our customers sent an email because she was impressed with Alyssa’s great customer service.

 I would like to say thank you very much for the prompt service I received from your company. I was in a panic in ordering these wrappers last minute that I needed for today (Saturday, July 9th). I called your company on Tue 7/5/2011 and spoke to Alyssa, who was a very helpful/polite representative. I was very hesitant in ordering them off the internet, but the representative was very convincing that my order would be shipped to me by Friday and even helped me with the shipping cost.  That was the key that got me to order the wrappers. We put them together last night and they look GREAT. Thank you again and I will pass on your company’s name to my family and friends.”

The world may be giving in to technology, but we still like to do some things the old fashioned way.

A Sweet Hello from Hershey, PA

Imagine…the lights dim, the room is silent and the spotlight is on two girls in long, colorful evening gowns at the front of the stage holding the other’s hand…their eyes are squeezed shut as the announcer steps up to the microphone and gets ready to announce one name…

“And the winner… of the Teen United States-World Competition of 2011 is…”

The first Teen United States-World Competition was held on August 23, 2008 and was created by Gaspar Cruz, who is the international director. Cruz felt it was time to create something new and different after his many years of experience with pageants.  He wanted to build an environment around the pageant, its contestants, staff and volunteers based on honesty, integrity and the belief in yourself.

With this year’s Teen United States-World Competition right around the corner (June 26 – July 1) in Houston, TX, one of the contestants contacted us at CARSON wrappedhersheys.com to see if we could create a customized wrapper for her.  Miss Teen Pennsylvania-World, Emily Slawek, shared that as a contestant in the Teen United States-World Competition she was asked to bring a small gift for each of the other contestants. Since Slawek’s hometown is near Hershey, PA, she thought personalizing Hershey bar wrappers would be the perfect sweet treat to wish everyone good luck while sharing a little more about herself and her home.

Slawek’s mom, who helped her daughter come up with the idea, shared with us her excitement about the end result of the wrapper, “Tell the graphic designer who created these that if I was there I would give her a huge hug. I couldn’t be happier with the look of these wrappers and I am so excited for Emily to give these out to the other girls at the competition.”

We wish all of the “sweet” contestants of the Teen United States-World Competition good luck as they begin the competition this weekend!

Good Service = Satisfaction

Final product turned out terrific ... everyone loved them and thought they were very unique. CARSON customer service even called me before production to verify something I had forgotten to include in my order. You don't get that kind of service many places anymore. Yes, I would definitely recommend them to others and also place future orders. A good company to deal with.”

Everyone at CARSON wrappedhersheys.com takes pride in all of the wrappers we make for our customers, and it is important to us that the customer is happy with the end results. 

Customer Service associates review each order before processing payment, and again once order documents are printed. Our Creative Production department reviews personalization as they enter the information and print the wrappers and pack orders to ship. Our Shipping department verifies Ship-to information against UPS’ database for possible errors or omissions. 

We all work together as a team and if anyone finds anything questionable, we make every attempt to contact our customers and verify before the order leaves our building. One of our associates recently said, “I always say to myself, ‘If I were the customer, would I be happy if I received these candy bars?’” We aren’t satisfied unless you’re satisfied!

Wedded Bliss in Spanish

We have talented graphic designers to help create the right custom wrapper for your event, as well as someone who can translate any of our wrappers into Spanish. We want YOU to be thrilled with your finished wrapper design. So the next time you have an idea about something you would like on your wrapper definitely ask us! We welcome any question you may have by e-mail or phone at 1-800-316-2083. We are here to help you create that special wrapper you have been dreaming about!

My fiancé had seen a friend of hers making a handmade wrapped chocolate for his girlfriend and she loved the idea. While she was looking for a present to give our invitees in our wedding, she remembered that great idea and looked over the internet for “customized chocolates”. She found you guys and we loved the designs, how HERETHEYARE is written - so the first thing you think about is Hershey's, and the fact that you could also help us with a Spanish version. We love chocolate and we think this is a great gift for a wedding!"

Wrappers Delight

Order was received very quickly - faster than I had expected. I cannot wait until the party when they are handed out! I also liked the idea of receiving a wrapper that was unfolded so that I can frame for my parents 50th Anniversary! I would do it again!"               - Julia T.

If you’re part of the DIY movement or are just looking for a way to lower your order cost, consider ordering our personalized wrappers without the chocolate bars. All you need is tape, a food-safe glue stick and a little spare time. We even send easy-to-follow wrapping instructions with your order. As Julia mentioned, we ship your personalized wrappers flat to ensure they arrive crease-free and perfect for framing. Wrapping instructions are also available on our website if you’d like to check out the process before ordering to prepare.

1910: Adele Was Born and Bread Was A Nickel

Tweet

November 11, 2010 was a milestone birthday for Adele - her 100th!  Her niece, Faye, planned a special party to celebrate, surprising Adele and her guests with Years of Wisdom wrapped Hershey's bars.  Other than Adele’s picture (wow, she looks fabulous!) what makes these bars unique is that they included interesting facts from the year Adele was born, 1910.

Faye shared, "Someone sent me a newspaper type card on my birthday showing the events and headlines on the day I was born.  It is fun to see those facts and I thought it might be nice to have this on the wrapper to commemorate my aunt’s 100th birthday."

The washing machine and neon lights were invented; the Boy Scouts were founded; Halley's Comet was visible.  Pretty cool.  But did you know a loaf of bread cost just 5 cents?  I guess that makes sense considering the average home cost was $2000 - $5000 and average income was $750/year!  

Adele graduated at the top of her high school class in St. Louis and received a scholarship to Washington University but instead chose to work as a secretary at the Shell Oil Co where she met her husband.  She has always been an avid reader, loved to write and typed everything on her 70 year old Smith & Corona typewriter.

The favors were a great addition to my Aunt’s 100th birthday celebration.  They certainly did turn out well.  My Aunt was also real pleased to see them and she enjoyed recalling the 1910 facts."                 Thank you, Faye

We love hearing from our customers and learning the personal side of special orders like this one.  Happy Birthday, Adele!

McKenzie's Star Party

Perhaps they are not stars in the sky but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.  - Eskimo Legend

As a way to honor and remember their daughter McKenzie, the Travis family registered a star in her name. Each year their family and friends gather together on a clear night to view McKenzie’s star through a telescope.

We were honored when contacted to create a special wrapper as a keepsake for those attending McKenzie’s Star Party. 

Our guests most definitely enjoyed the bars. They thought I was so creative (and trust me I am not!). Thank you for helping me to pull it together on such short notice and for being touched by the event. McKenzie died in a car accident in 2006 and the annual Star Party continues to be an integral part of the grieving and healing process for all of us.”
