Disclaimer for Delivery Orders
The drivers will attempt to deliver your cake within the given time slot. However, due to circumstances beyond our control such as traffic, if we are unable to do so, we will attempt to update you by telephone.
On reaching your address, the driver will attempt to knock on your door and phone if there is no response. If the driver is unsuccessful in contacting you, he will return your order to the shop. It will then be your responsibility to collect your cake from the shop. We will not re-attempt to deliver your order.
The driver will bring your order to your door or the entrance of your building in case of Flats. It will be your responsibility to collect the cake from the driver and offer any additional assistance that may be required for larger cakes.
On receipt of your cake, you must check for any damages on arrival and if there are any issues, you will need to contact the store immediately. Please accept that cakes delivered by third parties may not be 100 per cent perfect and be prepared to overlook slight damages. However, if your cake is badly damaged, photos should be taken, and the cake returned with the driver to the store so a refund can be processed. It may not be able to provide you with another cake at the time and all we could do is offer you a full refund. Please be prepared for this worst-case scenario.
We will share your contact details with our drivers as they may need to contact you on arrival. They will not be allowed to share your details to any other 3rd party companies.
We rely on external drivers to be available to deliver your order. It is our intention to fulfil your order, but in the event your order cannot be delivered (e.g., no drivers available), we will notify you and you will have the following options,
1. Collect your order from the store and we will refund you the delivery charge.
2. You may wish to cancel the order and receive a full refund with our apologies.
