ORDER CUT-OFF AND SHIPPING CHART

(applies only to time-sensitive shipments)

 

To our valued customers....

We, at My Best Friend, would LOVE to be able to accommodate each and every customer for requested delivery dates while saving our customers shipping costs at the same time......however, as our business has grown immensely, we must put "cut-off" dates in-place for ordering time-sensitive products such as birthday cakes.  We do not "mass produce"our products....we bake and decorate to order.  This is the only way we can continue to provide the freshest product, personalized and customized to your specifications....products and service that we have become famous for.   Please use the chart below to determine your delivery date and shipping method options available to you.  Prices are not listed below because your final order will determine pricing.  Shipping estimates will be listed upon checkout. 

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

We require a minimum of 2 days from order placement to shipping date to allow for order processing If you are ordering late....please contact us at (858) 271-0334 or mybestfriend@san.rr.com prior to ordering to make sure your order can be processed in time for your needs. Additional shipping charges may apply for late orders.

Please Note:  Orders can be placed at any time in advance up to 2 days prior to shipping.  We require a minimum of 2 days to process your order before shipping.  Ordering in advance, however, DOES NOT mean your order will ship early.  Shipping days will be in accordance to the chart below....generally an average of 3 days prior to requested delivery date.

 Shipping Guidelines

We require a minimum of 2 days from order placement to shipping date to allow for order processing If you are ordering late....please contact us prior to ordering to make sure your order can be processed in time for your needs. Additional shipping charges may apply for late orders.

Please select a delivery date that is ONE day prior to the serving date, or Friday for weekend serving.

To receive the freshest product possible, do NOT request earlier delivery dates.

US Post Office 2-3 Day Priority Mail does not guarantee delivery dates....FEDEX does.

To avoid the Saturday delivery surcharge that FEDEX charges, please select a weekday (if time allows) for your delivery date.

Orders shipping at times affected by Holidays will be delayed by one day. Please take that into consideration when selecting your delivery date.

My Best Friend cannot be held responsible for delays in delivery due to the fault of carriers. However, we will be happy to file a Fedex claim on your behalf.
