Favorite chocolate truffels w/ online ordering

I ordered some cinnamon buns (thanks jack) but would like to grab the spouse some really good chocolate truffels for mothers day. Online ordering is a necessity. I'm considering Godiva but I really want to hear from somebody who has ordered from a small chocolatier online if possible. I've done all the searches and have some bookmarked but I'm looking for YOUR personal recommendation. Any help is appreciated.

Here are a few that I've had: Vosges (based in Chicago) - wonderful and eclectic flavors. Beautiful packaging. Expensive. MarieBelle (NYC) - less about chocolate and more about the look of the chocolates, lovely boxes, elegant presentation. Fresh flavors. Expensive. Recchiuti (SF) - rich chocolates, inventive and intense flavor combinations, some good comfort foods options. Quality ingredients. Nice packaging. Expensive. Fran's (Seattle) - fresh ingredients, sedate aesthetic, traditional and very tasty. Expensive Chuao Chocolatier (Encinitas, CA) - made with all Venezuelan chocolate, great flavors & clean packaging. Expensive Charles Chocolates (SF) - amazing flavor combos, take a look at the tuffles in the chocolate boxes ... really great. Expensive Ethel (Chicago/Vegas) - fascinating stuff, kind of has a mass manufactured feel, but very inventive and cute. Moderate Sees (West Coast) - dependable and tasty. A little ordinary (I'm not as keen on the truffles as the Nuts & Chews.) Inexpensive There are others I've tried but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Most I've picked up in person, only a few online.

I will second Bissingers, their bear claw caramel is absolutely sinful.... Ok most everything I have had from them is sinful. The french truffles are melt in the mouth delicious, with an awesome mouth feel and taste
