Return, Shipping & Privacy Policies;
Shipping costs are not added to your initial invoice, we calculate them to your best advantage. Since we strive to send your packages in the most economical way we will ship with either UPS or USPS Ground unless you request different. All items will be packed and shipped within 3-5 business days. All Shipments will be insured. Our usual method of Shipment is USPS 1st Class Mail Insured. If you wish you may request another method of shipping.
We ship orders out 2 to 3 times a week so your order may not go out the next day. Most orders are sent by USPS 1st Class Parcel or Parcel Post. If the shipping is less than $1.00 we will ship your order by Priority to save on the shipping time.
Due to the costs associated with Credit Card acceptance we must have a minimum sale of at least $20.
2nd day and 3rd day delivery is available upon request. Orders must be received by 1 p.m. est.
Once the order is packed, we will e-mail you a final invoice and run your credit card.
We do not back order items and will e-mail you if an item is unavailable. If there is an alternate we will suggest that and allow you to choose to trade to that item. If you request an item that we are out of we will order it as soon as possible and let you know when we receive it.
Orders are only sent to verified addresses. We verify all addresses with the carrier.
All orders are automatically insured with the carrier.
We cannot be held responsible for orders that are left at the customer's residence if it is not signed for. You may request that the package be left at the Post or UPS Office.
UPS does not deliver on weekends so we will not ship perishable goods in the latter part of the week. Please order accordingly.
UPS does not deliver to APO's, FPO's or PO Boxes.
Handling fees are included only to cover the packaging materials and time required to process your order.
Damages & Shortages
All damages must be reported to us and the carrier at the time of delivery. Contact us immediately with the order and tracking number, the type of damage incurred, and how the shipment was damaged-for example: the box was split, broken, or crushed. Save all shipping material, as the shipper may wish to inspect the box and the damage. Any shortages must be reported within 48 hours for us to compensate you for the inconvenience.
Some items require special shipping and may have to be shipped separately, for example: Styrofoam Cake Dummies and Wedding Cake Stands. These products have notations in their descriptions.
Heat sensitive food items like chocolate will be sent overnight due to the risk of damage. We offer no guarantee on weather damage-these products are shipped at the customer's risk.
All products are inspected before leaving our store. Special attention is given to silicone products, food products, and special order items. These items are nonreturnable.
