Is the candy really old?

All of our candy is fresh from the manufacturer. These candies have been in production for many years. We Baby Boomers have grown up, raised families, started and nurtured careers and are busy people. In the process we have forgotten about this part of our childhood. As we tell our granddaughter, "Candy makes my mouth happy!"

Will the candy make me feel young again?

The short answer is YES... but don't take our word for it. Click here to see what our customers are saying about Candy you ate as a kid®.

Do you make the candy?

We do not make any of the candy. We buy it from over 40 different manufacturers.

Where can I buy your candy in my city?

The Old Time Candy Company is not the manufacturer of any of the products we sell. We are retailers who buy candy from over 40 different manufacturers and resell it on the web. We don't know where else it might be sold.

In most cases the candy we sell is only available in certain regions of the country. The decision to sell regionally is made by the manufacturer.

If you can't find your old time favorites in your area, they are available from our website. UPS ground shipping charges (continental US only) are a flat $8.45 per shipment... free if the order is at least $200.00.

Do you have a retail store?

We do not have a retail store. We sell only through our web site.

What is your return policy? You have two choices:

  • Return the candy unopened within 2 weeks of purchase for a full refund minus shipping charges. There are no exceptions to the 2 week policy.

  • Return the candy unopened within 2 weeks of purchase in exchange for candy of equal or greater value with new shipping charges. There are no exceptions to the 2 week policy.

  • There is a 10% restocking charge.

  • Send the candy at your expense to the Old Time Candy Company, 350 Commerce Drive East, LaGrange, OH 44050. Include a copy of your packing slip with reference number to insure proper credit.

  • We cannot accept opened or damaged candy.

  • Once the returned product is received we will issue a refund minus original shipping charges (our actual charges if the order was over $200) and 10% restocking charge.

Can you provide nutritional information?

We suggest that you contact the manufacturer directly. Many have websites or 800 numbers where the information is available.

What is the shelf-life of the candy? (Times are expressed in months from the date of manufacture, not from the date of purchase.)

  • hard candy - 12 months

  • chocolate - 6 months

  • licorice - 6 months

  • peanut butter candy - 3 months

  • gummi candy - 12 months

How should I store my candy?

We recommend that you store candy at room temperatures (~70 degrees) and not in a freezer or refrigerator. Freezing chocolate will cause a white film to appear.

For more information about storing chocolate, we suggest visiting this page at the Ghiradelli website.

Where are those funny pictures of Karen and Donny?

What happens if the delivery is late or lost?

We hope you understand that we cannot be responsible for late or lost deliveries by UPS. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

We will cooperate with you in every way to track your package and file a claim if necessary. If we make a mistake with the address, we reserve the right to issue a refund or reship.

If an incorrect address was provided by the person placing the order, a duplicate order must be placed with additional charges. We will issue a refund if the candy is recovered in resalable condition.

You must report the problem to us within 2 weeks after receipt of the order. Click here to contact us. Please include your order reference number.

What happens if there is a mistake in my order?

If we make a mistake in your shipment, we reserve the right to either issue a refund or replace your candy.

You must report the problem to us within 2 weeks after receipt of the order. Click here to contact us. Please include your order reference number.

What happens if my candy melts in hot weather?

If you purchased Ice-Brix with your order, the candy is fully guaranteed with the exception of Ice Cube chocolate candy. We will issue a refund for the melted candy and Ice-Brix. We can reship the candy if you will provide us with a business address where someone will be present to accept delivery. 

You must report the problem to us within 2 business days after receipt of the order. Click here to contact us. Please include your order reference number.
