We understand the importance of gifts arriving by the selected delivery date. The smiles, the awe, and the surprise is the reason we fulfill orders by the date specified. We'll do everything in our power to ensure on-time delivery.

Please double-check your delivery date and address during checkout to make sure both are correct. Very rarely there are FedEx/UPS shipping delays which will be investigated, if these delays do happen we are happy to refund the shipping cost on the order or find other amicable resolutions.

For any issues due to emergencies or severe weather conditions that affect all packages in the delivery area, we cannot be held responsible for uncontrollable events as FedEx/UPS considers these indisputable. Insufficient/incorrect addresses are also the responsibility of the sender, so please double or triple-check the delivery address correctly as this is out of our control.

Yes! We now offer to ship to multiple addresses with our products. Once you are done creating your first item, you can select "Add Another Gift Box" which will add your first item to your shopping cart and refresh the page so you can begin working on your next gift. As you go through the check out you may click "Multiple Recipients" to enter a different shipping address. Each gift box is shipped separately so there is a shipping fee per gift but this goes directly to the cost of shipping the additional items even if they are going to the same address.

Bundled items cannot be modified. Once you add your item to your cart you can no longer make any changes but you may remove the existing item and go back to step one to recreate your order.

We have extensively tested our shipping methods and cakes will arrive ready to eat and do not need any refrigeration but if you would like to save them for later we suggest freezing them to extend the shelf life. Only our large full-size cakes will arrive cold or frozen with dry ice and dry ice handling instructions due to the nature of their size and ingredients used.

When you click the delivery date field, a calendar will pop up. Simply select a date from the calendar to proceed. Your package will be delivered on or before the preferred date.

We do not offer same-day delivery but Overnight orders can be done provided they are placed before 3:30 PM (PST) at least one day before the event. Rush delivery for Mondays must be placed by 3:30 PM (PST) Friday. There will be no package pick-up on Saturday and Sundays. The time of delivery is not guaranteed for Next Day/Rush deliveries but will be before end of day.

The delivery window is between 9 AM to 8 PM depending on the shipping location. We are unable to guarantee an exact time of delivery as this will depend on the route of the delivery driver on that day. While most packages are delivered earlier in the day and the recipient should get it when they normally receive packages from FedEx/UPS, we cannot guarantee a specific time.

We strongly advise researching the institution's shipping policies beforehand to ensure that you can include all necessary information required by said facility (i.e. delivery addresses that differ from the business address, and/or apartment, dorm room, college mailbox, suite, and house numbers). Send a cake will not be liable for a failed delivery due to incomplete or wrong information.

If the failed shipment is caused by a severe weather condition, uncontrollable situation, or due to an error by the purchaser or recipient, including but not limited to, an incomplete or incorrect address given upon submission of the order, receiver not in, special shipping instructions made at the request of the recipient (such as the recipient created a pick-up arrangement with the carrier but did not pick up within 5-7 days), refused deliveries, or orders left out and either stolen, ruined or damaged after delivery, we cannot refund or replace the shipment.

We understand how important it is for your order to arrive on time. While we do everything we can to ensure prompt delivery, some situations may cause delays. Here are some common reasons:

1. Courier Delays

Shipping partners (e.g., FedEx, UPS) may experience delays due to:

- Mechanical or technical issues

- Operational Delays

Please note that Send A Cake is not responsible for courier delays, as delivery operations are handled independently by the shipping company.

2. Weather or Natural Events

Severe weather, natural disasters, or other environmental conditions can slow down or temporarily stop deliveries.

These circumstances are beyond our control, and we are not liable for delays caused by them.

3. Incorrect or Incomplete Address

If the shipping address is missing important details (e.g., apartment number) or if the sender provided a different address by error, the delivery may be delayed or returned.

These circumstances are customer errors, and we are not liable for delays caused by them.

To fix this, you can:

- Contact our customer service team to update your address.

- Call the courier’s toll-free number to arrange a pickup at the nearest location

4. Missed Delivery Attempt

If no one is available to receive the package or access is restricted (e.g., gated communities), the courier may reschedule the delivery.

In these cases, the recipient will need to anticipate the next delivery attempt or arrange pickup directly with the courier.

If you have any concerns about your order’s status, please reach out to our customer service team — we’re happy to assist.

You will receive a confirmation email right after we place the order. Please read thoroughly and make sure the information entered is correct. FedEx or UPS charges $19.50 for incorrect address changes or corrections. Make sure to check the order confirmation email immediately and inform us should there be any address correction, as it must be done immediately. If the gift is not yet processed, we can update the shipping address. Please reach out to our Customer Service Team so we can assist you.

Once a label is created or the gift is FedEx/UPS, we can help you request a change address but may have to pay the corresponding change fee.

Satisfaction for you and those who receive your gifts is our priority. If you need to cancel your order please reach out to our Customer Care Team at hello@sendacake.com or via the Customer Service Team of the vendor you bought from, such as Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, 1800Flowers, or TikTok Shop. We will try our best to stop the order but can only cancel orders that have not yet been processed and do not have a shipping label created. Due to the customized nature of each gift, please note that once processed all sales are final and this would include any orders placed 3 days or less before the delivery date.

Please note that modifications can only be made before the order is processed. If the order has not been processed, we will do our best to accommodate your request but orders must be placed correctly to avoid any issues. Once an order is processed and a shipping label is created, we are no longer able to accommodate modifications.

Due to each package being specially created for every recipient upon ordering and the main product being a food-based item, we cannot offer exchanges or accept returns.

Please be sure to provide a video or photo of any issue. This will help us process your request more efficiently and ensure that we are able to accurately assess any concerns.

Yes. Send A Cake maintains PCI compliance to incorporate today's highest safety standards during every payment transaction. You can shop in confidence knowing we have appropriate security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you.

The security symbols on our site help identify our security.

During checkout, you will know you're on a secured page when the URL begins with HTTPS. The "s" stands for "secure" For example https://www.sendacake.com.

If an item is not in stock, pulled out, or does not show on the website, it is not available. You are welcome to add your stuff to the box by sending it to yourself first so you can open the box without triggering the explosion by securing the sides of the box with a rubber band or ribbon. Just be careful not to overdo it.

Our cakes and boxes do not explode (that sounds dangerous! ). We call our box style "Explosion Box" which refers to the panels of the box collapsing outwards once opened. You may select the additions we offer to the box to give it more of a fun surprise effect such as candies and faux flowers loosely falling out when opened or our Flying Butterfly Surprise which will have paper butterflies fluttering out of the box. Results may vary.

We understand how frustrating it must be for you if this happens. If your order is insured, you may directly file a damage claim with Route at https://claims.route.com. To assist us in identifying the problem, please send us avideo of the box opening.
