How We Ship
Shipping charges (per recipient)
Shipping charges are calculated on the package weight and destination for each recipient, prior to any discounts. Unless otherwise arranged we use UPS.
Freshness/Product Care
All of our products are baked fresh for each order. All items are baked, packaged and shipped in the same day. All of our products are guaranteed fresh for eight (8) days from the shipping date. As there are no preservatives added to our products we suggest you arrange for shipping that will take no more than three (3) days. When you receive your product keep it wrapped until you are ready to enjoy...or put in the freezer for up to one (1) month of additional freshness.

Shipping FAQs
Send Them Cookies ships all of our packages via UPS from our bakery in Island Park, New York. We do ship to Alaska and Hawaii, but cannot ship outside of the 50 United States.
Street Address Required
We cannot not ship to P.O boxes, APO's or FPO's as UPS requires a numerical street address for all deliveries.
Saturday/Sunday are not Standard delivery days
UPS delivers on Monday through Friday. We can arrange for a Saturday delivery for an additional fee - please call us at 516 889 4101 to confirm that Saturday delivery is available for the address requested.
UPS delivers from 9:00 AM until 8:00 PM. Typically they will deliver to businesses first, and then to residential addresses.
Signature Required?
Residential addresses typically do not require a signature and if left, UPS drivers are instructed to leave packages �out of sight & out of weather�. HOWEVER, if there is no one there to accept the package, and the UPS driver does not feel comfortable leaving
it for ANY reason, s/he is NOT required to leave the package.
Business addresses do require a signature, but not necessarily from the recipient whose name is on the box. Anyone in the building is able to sign for the package. Please be sure to include the company name and floor/suite number if you are sending to an office building.
*Important note on apartments: When delivering to apartment buildings, UPS drivers typically do not leave packages without signature unless there is a concierge, a mail room or a building manager available to sign on behalf of the recipient. Typing �please leave without signature� as part of the shipping address does not guarantee that the package will be released without signature. Please be sure to include the apartment number � delivery will be delayed without this address information.
Three Delivery Attempts
Following each delivery attempt, UPS will leave a note on the door following each delivery attempt. UPS will make three delivery attempts before returning the package to Send Them Cookies.

Return / Refund Policy
As our products are perishable, all food sales are final. Send Them Cookies will be happy to replace any item(s) in the unlikely event that they might be damaged or spoiled during transit, or to refund you the full amount of your purchase. To make sure that you are satisfied with the product you receive, please inspect the contents as soon as your order arrives. Send Them Cookies is not responsible for damage or loss as a result of shipments being returned to the freight location or being undeliverable as a result of incorrect address information you supply to us, or for inability of a recipient to receive the package on the day you specify that it should be delivered. We wish we could assure proper handling and prompt receipt of packages once they have been delivered to the correct mailing address by the third party carrier (UPS, FedEx or USPS), but this, of course, is out of our control. To enjoy the full flavor and freshness of our products, we urge you to make the necessary arrangements beforehand. Shipping/handling charges are not refundable. Refunds will be issued by check to the billing address supplies.
For more information, please contact us at 516 889 4101 8:30am - 5:30pm EST Monday - Friday.
