Honestly I have nothing negative to say about this elegant line of fine chocolates. Over the years I have come to prefer darker chocolates... and Lindt makes the loveliest of pure dark chocolate bars and bonbons. They had a shop here for several years, but it closed. Halloween is right around the corner... and their Halloween and Easter tinfoil-wrapped truffles are just wonderful... a feast for the eyes and the palette. Please try their white chocolate. It is scrumptious.Lindt chocolate as always been my favorite because it is so smooth and rich and has an exquisite mouth feel and sets off every taste bud in may mouth into a thrill! Ever since a study mentioned the health value of dark chocolate it has suddenly become on my daily menu to have a square of Lindt Extra Dark Chocolate. Now I can even pick some up at my supermarket in a large bag!Almond flavor? There isn't even the remotest hint of almond flavor in these truffles. Instead there is a nondescript, flavorless center that slightly burns the throat upon swallowing it. What do they take us for? Are they imagining we'll think we're crazy for not tasting anything even vaguely almond when the package is telling us it's there? Seems Lindor - a long trusted company - has now corrupted it's heretofore reliable reputation by jumping on the profit-hiking bandwagon of other ruthless businesses that cheat the public by creating, at little or no cost to themselves, a bogus product that purports to be something it's not. Believing themselves to be more clever than we are they hope to pull the poverbial wool over our eyes and have thereby achieved here nothing more than a tasteless insult to our intelligence.I have been buying my favorite chocolates from the LindtUSA.com for several years for us, my child's family and friends. I have been impressed with their selections, quality, taste, the way they packed them, and fast delivery. My order was shipped within 3 days this time and it arrived in San Diego from NH in three days, obviously this must have been express delivery. Their package was extra well packed with several ice-jell packs to ensure the chocolates do not melt en route and yes they arrived in PERFECT condition during hot month of August. I am so grateful that I had to find a way to write a review. We love their boxed chocolates, but Lindor truffles are also fabulous. My favorite Lindor had been Spring, but they appear a little too sweet this time. My new favorite is now Cappuccino! Their flavors are just out of this world! I will keep on buying from them as long as they care so much about their customers Thank you, LindtUSA! Sue L.This business will offer free shipping often as a way to increase sales. My experience is they are always late and sometimes they don't delver at all and customer will need to provide their own tracking and fulfillment assurance. Tip for consumers:free shipping offers should be ignored as they will normally NOT make commitments.
