Special shipping and handling is required for temperature-sensitive shipments from early May through mid-October. During this time, an additional $10 per address may apply to allow for protective packaging, including insulated sleeves and frozen gel packs.
During warm weather shipping season, we typically ship Monday through Wednesday to help avoid weekend transit. Please call 1-800-793-3876 for more information about warm weather shipping.

Some of our sweets are more delicate than others. For this reason, our website may automatically adjust the shipping method for certain items. If additional changes are needed, we will contact you personally to verify the best shipping option.
Bakery Items
When temperatures exceed a certain threshold, handmade bakery items may require an express shipping upgrade for an additional charge. During the rest of the year, bakery items ship with our Bakery Express upgrade as needed for the destination and may arrive separately from the rest of your order.
Some bakery shipments may arrive with dry ice in the cooler. Please follow the unpacking instructions included with your delivery for proper handling.
Bakery items cannot be in transit over a weekend. Please select a ship date of Monday through Wednesday, or we may need to delay your order to the following Monday. Thursday ship dates require Next Day Air year-round.
