If you have registered with Amex Shop Small, you could get the large gift box and get $10 credit from AMEX making this deal even sweeter.

Update:

For those who want to buy more than 1 large box, you can use amex in different Lindt cafes to get multiple $10 credits.

Basically, you pick the size of the box (either small or large), then go nuts selecting your favourite flavour. There are at least 15 different flavour to choose from.
The fun bit though, is to squeeze as much chocs as you can.
I was able to fit in 64 in the large box (about 900g) and thought that I did well. Boy, was I wrong. The next day I learned that a friend's friend was able to fit in 1.3kg!!!

Just make sure you stack them nicely and OVERFLOW the box, but make sure you can close the lid unassisted. And this is important… be shameless :-)

Here is what the sign says:

Fill Your Own Gift Box
Small gift box* Now $14.50 was $29.00
Large gift box* Now $24.50 was $49.00
*Pick and mix box lid must be able to close and stay closed unassisted.

"Stay closed unassisted", I'll leave that to your imaginative mind on how you can get as much chocs while accomplishing "closed lid unassisted" :-)
This is a photo of my second loot that got cleared by the shop keeper today. She didn't seem to mind at all about the overflow.

Happy hunting.

Update:
Thanks to pea who confirmed that this deal is available at all Lindt Cafe:

The deal has been extended until 22/11/15.

      I managed to stuff 1Kg just then, it was overflowing…. I asked the lady who worked there if it was ok, and she said it was fine. As she was packing it into the bag, she slipped and it fell on the floor, grabbing the attention of (what I assume) the manager, who told me that it was too full and it MUST close to be valid. I told her I already paid for it so she let it go, but kind of told the employee that next time it's not OK….. now I feel bad!

    From your photo, there is no closed lid at all ? I think worst case they will just ask you put back a few… which is ok, no risk no gain.

    • muncan on 09/11/2015 - 09:53

      If you deliberately squish the top ones, they're unlikely to ask you to return them :-P

    • gt-man on 09/11/2015 - 14:11

      I closed it when we paid but I couldn't close it properly. I was prepared to be told to return some but to my surprise the lady didn't say anything.
      The photo is just to show how much we could fit inside.

  • 11112007 on 09/11/2015 - 09:50

    If you pick the square block chocolates and line and stack them up you can get around 1.65kg in a closed box. Best value for money!

  • hckme on 09/11/2015 - 10:22

    A warning: Check their expiry date before buying. I bought a few bar of chocolate from Marsden Park, they expired in Nov, some in March mext year.

    • gt-man on 09/11/2015 - 14:13

      There's no expiry date on the wrapper. But after eating a few of them I could tell they're pretty fresh 😄

  • notout50 on 09/11/2015 - 10:28

    Any Lindt experts here? How does $24.50 for a kg sound in terms of value when compared with the boxes you get from Supermarkets?
    Also, what's the expiry of these?

    • Love a bargain on 09/11/2015 - 10:45
      +2

      Probably more expensive than when they are half-price in the supermarkets but there are more flavours to choose from in a Lindt cafe than in the pre-packaged ones in the supermarkets.

    • cj3 on 09/11/2015 - 11:53
      +1

      This is cheaper if you can get at least 1kg of lindor balls in the box (even after 50% off at the supermarkets).

    • gt-man on 09/11/2015 - 14:18
      +2

      If you have Amex this is definitely much cheaper. I mean $14.50 for a 1kg of Lindt chocs with flavour like champagne, cream cookies and orange just to name a few, is a rare chance to go outside the usual red and dark blue balls 😊

        • Embaloo on 09/11/2015 - 23:45
          +1

          At both of your rates, it's cheaper per chocolate to get two small boxes than it is to get the large:

          $29 for two small boxes = 30c/chocolate.

          $24.50 for one large box = 35c/chocolate.

          I was wondering about this… Not necessarily cheaper to buy in bulk, going off your packing rates. Can someone post the dimensions of the boxes? Important! :)

        • FiDad on 10/11/2015 - 14:46
          +2

          @Embaloo: Yes 2 small packs seems to work out better value. I need to buy another pack so thinking of buying 2 small packs.

          @lokesh7:
          If you have amex, maybe try buying another large box from a different store. You might be able to get another $10 credit. I have yet to confirm this though.

        • FiDad on 12/11/2015 - 07:34

          @gt-man: luckily i have got multiple amex cards so i will just use another one at same store.

      The helpful staff told me that I could put in as much as I could as long as the lid closed.
      When you get to the top of the box, you can put the block shaped ones on the side to form a centimeter wall. So you can stuff more in the middle.

        Collins St this afternoon. The girls weren't too happy with us (me + 2 of my American expert packers/people who'd make you go out of business if you ran an all-you-can-eat), but the guy, Gaith I think his name was, was pretty chill. Linger around and hope you get him? :P

        They were constantly refilling as it was busy. Under the table there's 3 more flavours. The bar wall at the top was a no go with the girls.

        Tell us how you go. :)

    Advice for anyone in Melbourne CBD- I just walked into Lindt Westgate, around Southbank, when I heard staff telling a customer they need remove some chocolates because the lid wasn't able to close completely- so I walked over to Collins Street where I managed to carefully stack 950g worth of chocolate into a large box, lid was a little off but he was nice and used stickers to help close it- this store has been pretty relaxed in the past with groupon deals too.

    Happy stacking!
