Please remember to allow extra time during the holidays due to delays in carriers' response to COVID-19 and the typical Holiday backlog. They are predicting more mail this year than is typical.
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date for your order. Because it does take time to process and pack your order, and because Scafuri Bakery relies on other companies to deliver our cookies (USPS and Federal Express), it is challenging to guarantee specific days & times. However, if this is a pressing matter, and your request coincides with our current operating hours, you can email us at info@scafuribakery.com and we can attempt to process your request using overnight delivery. Please understand this is not always an option, and during COVID-19 operations, delays can occur with the bakery and the postal service.
MORE INFO
That's a great question that requires a bit more info to answer. Bear with us as we explain all of the factors that go into shipping time in transit:
Shipping Method
**shipping methods & availability do change from time to time
We provide you with two shipping service options USPS and UPS. US Postal Service Priority mail is usually the least expensive option, and boxes usually take about 2-5 days to arrive. UPS Ground is another great value option and we’ve included a map below to show how many days in transit UPS Ground usually takes.
Please note: USPS Priority Mail and UPS Ground are not guaranteed. Sometimes due to holidays or other circumstances that are out of our control, shipping may take longer than estimated.
If you have a specific date you’d like to receive your order (weddings, holidays, parties, etc), we recommend using UPS 3-day, UPS 2nd Day, or UPS Next Day Shipping Methods. These shipping times are guaranteed by UPS and are the most reliable options.
*These options may vary from time to time due to operational changes. As of Dec 2019, we exclusively use USPS for general shipping except for special cases.
Preferred Delivery Date:
Please note that we only ship orders out Tuesdays through Fridays, and that UPS and USPS are third party services, so we cannot guarantee any delivery date. We recommend placing your order about one week before you'd like it to ship, maybe even two weeks during the holidays. We are unable to offer specific shipping or arrival dates at this time.
State for shipping destination:
Another important factor in shipping time is the state to which the items are being shipped. We ship everything from our shop in Chicago, Il. For example: if you’re shipping to a suburb of Chicago your order should arrive in 1-2 days, if you are shipping to California, your order may take 4-6 days to arrive.
Day of the Week:
We only ship out orders Tuesdays through Fridays. And in the words of Harry Potter’s Uncle Vernon: “No post on Sundays” and other major holidays. These factors may add an extra day or two to your shipping timeline. Don’t worry, your order is wrapped tight and will still be fresh, it just might arrive a day or two later than estimated.
