Delivery Information
To ensure you receive your cake fresh, all of our orders are delivered next day. That means you can have your cake – and eat it – within 24 hours!*
Packaging
Every cake is delivered in a strong corrugated cardboard box to ensure your cake is safe when received. We pack the corrugated box with protective brackets and foam. The parcel will include dry ice as our cakes are sent frozen to retain the freshness and quality of the cake. Being frozen also improves the presentation of the cake when delivered. You only need to defrost the cake for 3-4 hours and it is ready to eat! You do not need to refrigerate our cakes, they can all be left out for up to 7 days and they will be perfect to eat!
All orders are normally delivered on the requested delivery date. Obviously due to extreme weather conditions and circumstances out of our control the delivery could get delayed. Our cakes are good for up to 7 days.
Shipping policy
We deliver anywhere in mainland UK by commercial courier. Delivery by other means or outside mainland UK may be possible by special arrangement but an additional delivery charge will be payable. If you require delivery outside mainland UK, we will discuss this with you when the order is placed.
If you order goods from our standard service, delivery will be made between Tuesday and Saturday on the date which you select and specified in our Order Confirmation. However, we also offer a next day service where you require the goods urgently. In that event, an additional charge will be payable. Full details of the additional charges applicable to our express service are available on our website.
Goods are supplied at a temperature appropriate to the food concerned and perishable frozen goods will be delivered in polystyrene freezer boxes containing dry ice in compliance with statutory requirements. A safety leaflet will be included on the handling of dry ice. Instructions for the defrosting of our frozen goods can be found on our website and we will include a copy of these instructions in the freezer box. You must follow the instructions for defrosting.
We will arrange a time for delivery once a Contract has been formed and confirm this to you in the Order Confirmation or by contacting you separately with a delivery confirmation. It is essential that you, or someone on your behalf, will be available to receive and sign for the goods at the delivery address at the agreed delivery time. If someone at the delivery address other than you signs for the goods, we are entitled to assume that person is authorised by you to do so.
Sometimes delivery may be late or cancelled because of adverse weather conditions or other events outside of our reasonable control. If so, we will try to contact you as soon as we are able to in order to reschedule your delivery time and date.
If no one is at the delivery address when delivery is attempted then the following arrangements will operate, depending on whether the order contains frozen perishable goods:
if the goods are frozen, they will be taken back by our driver and we will be unable to arrange a further delivery because of their perishable nature. In addition, since the goods cannot be resold, and since we will have incurred a delivery charge, we will be entitled to retain in full the price of the goods debited from your payment card;
If the goods are not perishable, they will be taken back by our driver and we will contact you to arrange a further delivery. We will not make any additional charge for this further delivery.
If nobody is at home between the 9-5 delivery window our couriers will leave your parcel in a suitable location or with a neighbour. We are not responsible if goods are stolen or neighbour does not provide your goods as someone should be available to sign for the package.
If you order goods from us for delivery outside the UK, they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches your specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict the amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.
Please also note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the goods are destined. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws.
Refund policy
We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.
To start a return, you can contact us at sales@dessertsdeliveredbakery.co.uk. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package.

Damages and issues
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
Exceptions / non-returnable items
Certain types of items cannot be returned, like perishable goods (such as food, flowers, or plants), custom products (such as special orders or personalized items), and personal care goods (such as beauty products). We also do not accept returns for hazardous materials, flammable liquids, or gases. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards.
Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.
Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.
