Unless you're a remf, in which case open the box carefully being careful not to disturb the shape of the chocs, place in fridge for 24 hrs.
We have also tried sending a few other perishables just to try - battenburg cake - that made it. Fruit loaf, no problem.
If sending liquids DO make sure they won't leak. Apart from your soggy parcel so other poor sap may well get some of your shower gel too, all over a knitted balaclava or some such.
