These past four years... whoa, right?! Each year I think, "Okay, that was intense," but then the next year rolls around, and it's like, "Hold my cocoa beans!" The ongoing saga since 2020 has been a wild ride, and 2023 is no exception. Despite what some might think, we're not quite back to 'normal' yet. Supply chains are still doing the cha-cha, prices are soaring (the new cocoa market high is up a staggering 75% this year alone) and inflation isn't just knocking – it's barged right in! It’s a lot.
And then there's Black Friday/Cyber Monday. It feels like everyone – including their pets, sourdough starters, and that distant relative you met once – is bombarding us with sales.
Honestly, it's overwhelming.
This message is your one and only heads-up from us about the big BFCM event.
So, what's the deal? After 20 years in business, last year marked our first-ever Black Friday sale. And while I'm still a bit of a contrarian at heart (stop laughing), I'm doing in again – but in our own unique way.
In the past, we've done Appreciation events, Expansion discounts, and the "HOLY DUCKING CACAO, WHAT JUST HAPPENED" specials. This year, with inflation nipping at our heels, I'm feeling that pull once more for you my loyal customers.
From Friday at midnight to Tuesday at midnight (yes, that's Friday through Monday), use our anti-BFCM, anti-inflation code DUCKINFLATION23 for a sweet deal. Use this code to get 23% off (yep, for 2023) on all edible goodies in our retail store. Equipment is excluded, though – our margins are thinner than a fine chocolate wafer, and we can't stretch that far.
So, here's that code one more time: DUCKINFLATION23
Happy shopping, and remember, amidst the frenzy, take a moment to savor the good stuff – like a perfectly crafted piece of chocolate.
Terms:
12:00am Friday Nov 25th to 11:59pm Monday Nov 28th, 2022 (Friday to Monday)
This is for the Retail Store
There are no restrictions on how many times you can use it.
Not applicable to Equipment Purchases (sorry, our margins just are not high enough).
Please be patient with our turn around time. If this year is anything like last year it will take us more than the usual 1-3 days to get your order out after you receive the shipping notification. We will get everything out as quick as we can but tracking numbers could well take a week before they actually are valid.
FAQ:
No, you cannot combine it with any other offer as our system won’t permit it.....except you can get Free Shipping if your order before the discount is $100-$280....it permits that.
We are not offering it for Wholesale due to the aforementioned supply chain and cost increases. I’m really sorry.
And F&@K, it pains me to say it, but if you come back to me and ask me to apply the code to something you just bought a couple days ago…in lieu of getting really annoyed and being an asshole, I will most likely will literally just ignore you - including any other questions you might have in that email. You’ve been warned. I have to draw the line somewhere.
Finally, I don’t want to leave this on a negative note.
I very much hope everyone is doing ok. Be kind to your fellow humans. I hope this whatever the fuck it is helps you and yours out just a little and if you get the chance, please pay it forward. We all need to look out for one another.
May peace, love and comfort find you as this year closes out and the new year begins.
Finally, please remember in the next couple weeks, an emergency on your part, does not constitute a DUCKING emergency on our part. Check out our complete guide to Ordering and Shipping for the Holiday Season.
