When will my macarons arrive?

We ship standard orders UK wide using Royal Mail Standard Shipping Tracked 24 (1-2 business days) and Royal Mail Special Delivery (next day).

Whilst 94% of Royal Mail Tracked 24 shipments are delivered within 24 hours, it is a 1 – 2 business day service - there are occasions where it takes 2 days. We cannot be held responsible for orders that do not arrive next day. We would therefore suggest choosing the day before requirement for delivery or ‘Next Day (Special Delivery)’ for time/date critical orders. 

No complaints can be made until 7 days have passed without delivery.

You can see Royal Mail for their full terms and conditions.

The tracking number isn’t working, what can I do and where is my parcel?

Although your tracking number is sent to you immediately after we pack and seal your box, it sometimes takes a few hours for it to get scanned and placed into the system so don’t worry if it doesn’t come up right away.

What about special occasions like Christmas and Easter, do you deliver then?

As we use Royal Mail and DPD for our deliveries we are subject to their working hours over bank holidays. We will send as close as we can to the special day but this may mean your macarons arrive a couple of days before the specific public holiday.  All customers will be sent a tracking number with which you can track your parcel and kept in the loop during seasonal holidays.  

All of our macarons are made by hand using local and fresh ingredients where possible. All macarons are suitable for vegetarians. All do contain dairy, eggs and nuts.

Our core range of macarons have received official gluten free certification. However, some seasonal flavours do contain gluten products e.g. Biscoff and Cookies and Cream. These will be labelled on the allergen information available for each individual flavour.

We do have a limited range of Vegan macarons. These are made without eggs or dairy, but, do contain nuts. They are also gluten free.

- To get the best quality of printing, we advise printing on white macarons. These are Vanilla flavour.

- For all printed products we can print a maximum of 3 different uploaded photos or images. Please do Contact Us if you would like to print further images and our team will endeavour to help where possible.

- Where possible, we will contact you if the file you have uploaded does not print well on a macaron.
