See’s Candy Shops

I just ordered some candy from their website yesterday, 2÷9÷16. They had a promotion for a limited time to get 2 day shipping when you select standard shipping. I needed to get some candy before this Valentine’s Day. So I made my order and selected standard shipping.
I called today to find out the status of my order and the lady said it has an arrival of 2÷15÷16, after Valentine’s day. The lady said there’s nothing she can do because it’s already been «released».
Why did they make their problem my problem? My only hope is that I’m in CA, and they are in CA. So hopefully it gets shipped out of the same state and I get it before this weekend.
Thanks for the failure See’s.

Completely disappointed. Time to spin this one off, Mr. Buffett.
Ordered ~$ 70 of candy at the holidays in a large variety of types. All were at the very best average. Some were boring and bland and I threw them away after sampling. The cinnamon lollipops were inedible.
I’ll stick with Esther Price in the future, which is more delicious in every way, across all product lines. The best offering from Sees cannot compete with the worst from Esther Price… and no, I don’t work for them.

Most of our family members are addicted the the milk chocolate raisins. After you have them you’ll never go back to the name brand stuff. I also enjoy many of the other Sees candies.
I was hoping that I could buy candy at discount at this location but no luck unless you are a firefighter or police officer. I called the 800 number and got the bad news. Now please explain to me why police and firefighters need to eat candy? Those guys and gals need to maintain a good low fighting weight so they can take care of us. Good argument but it didn’t fly.
Here’s the counter offer: Get friends, family or business associates together and buy $ 635.00 or candy at one time and you’ll get a discount. The discount varies but the example they gave was you’ll get a one pound box of candy for $ 12.70 instead of the regular $ 16.50.

Please note: this location on Alameda is not a retail store. It’s their distribution center/​offices.

My mother ordered me some See’s candies online, so I guess this is as good a spot to Unilocal as any. I got some Little Pops (assorted hard candies), a box of chocolates, and 2 of the Awesome Walnut Square Bars.
That elderly woman depicted on each package belies such brazen confectionery malevolence. She must worshipped The Dark Lord in secret to have created an empire built on such sugary, chococarameldecadence.
Aleister Crowley had a sister. She made candy in service of The Golden Dawn. Wash each morsel down with holy water, lest they usurp your will and bend you towards The Left Hand Path and into the black embrace of Baphomet.
Evil, evil candy. Beware.

See’s candies has been a part of our family holdiday tradition for almost 30 years. We received it as a gift and we’ve been hooked ever since. I now share our family find by sending See’s candies as Christmas gifts to many of our friends and new family members. I really enjoy spreading holiday secret. Its the only gift I give that always gets a call back asking where I got this candy! And I was sooo happy when I came upon a See’s Candies in the Menlo Park Mall in New Jersey. Finally! Thanks for the memories.

One of the all time bestest benefits of having a medical emergency, (you know, other than the whole reevaluating the purpose of life and all) cause your friends who know will hook you up with the likes of this here — via the well wishing delivery of UPS. (:knock knock: «UPS!» «Huh? Oh — OH HELLS YESS SON!» «Um, sign here. Thanks…»)
And after spending the last couple of hours elbows deep into a three pound box that was customized with my most favorites of my most favorite candies in the world, I can tell you that I am one lucky mofo to have had this be the candy I remember from my childhood. I hadn’t had any in YEARS — I had a serious case of blue candy balls. And that ain’t pretty.
The bestestest of the bunch? Apricot Delight — «Apricot buttercream with chopped apricot and toasted coconut». It was my favorite when I was I was a tot and it’s still the best now. It is just… a damned perfect candy creation.
You can go online and customize your own dream box with a very helpful online tool that has pictures and descriptions of each treat. Be sure to get lots of apricot delights. Oh — and the dark chocolate covered honey marzipan! And some dark nougats, cashew brittle covered in white chocolate. Jeez, and the almond truffle dark covered in crushed almonds. And the key lime truffles, too. Oh, and the lollipops are awesome too.
Dude — just go crazy and get the three pound box for your «sick friend», too…

When I called for store hours, See’s operator told me this is an EMPLOYEES ONLY STORE. How did other reviewers shop there? Are you all employees, or don’t they check? 35 years ago my parents used to bring home See’s «rejects» so I wanted to surprise them, but the See’s operator really discouraged me from trying to go there! What’s the story, anybody?

See’s Candy misfits are known to be sold here at discounted rates. As my friend described, «my mouth can’t tell if one side is lopsided versus the other.»

I’ve had chocolate from everywhere, from $ 5/​pound to $ 50/​pound and I always come back to See’s as my favorite. The chocolates are well-​made and delicious. They are just good old fashioned candies.
Scotchmallows are my favorite.
