Ordered these for a gift. Not all the See's chocolates had an option for gift wrapping but these did so that's what we went with. While I can't comment on the freshness of the product since we'll never see them they shipping was super quick. Very glad it made it there sooner rather than later. Was supposed to arrive on the 17th via PRIME but actually arrived on the 14th... how this is possible I'm not sure. Did they wrap it up and hand deliver it? lol
