The U.S.A. Nationwide and coast to coast (sorry not International delivery yet). The shipping fee varies depending on your cake order and goes to our shipping providers (FedEx/UPS) for 2-Day Express Air or faster shipping (unless UPS Ground is selected) which allows for your package to arrive on or near the delivery date you selected for maximum freshness. Additional charges such as an overnight fee ($10) and/or sometimes a Saturday ($10) fee may be included, depending on the day of your preferred delivery date. The shipping fee is added at the end of the checkout process and can be previewed before submitting an order.
Orders are set to arrive on time and are typically shipped 1-3 days prior to the date you selected. You will receive a tracking email when the item has shipped out or sometimes a few days earlier for advance notice.
Due to unforeseen delays with FedEx & UPS, we strongly suggest ordering for delivery before the desired date. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
We understand the importance of gifts arriving by the selected delivery date. The smiles, the awe, and the surprise is the reason we fulfill orders by the date specified. We'll do everything in our power to ensure on-time delivery.
Please double-check your delivery date and address during checkout to make sure both are correct. Very rarely there are FedEx/UPS shipping delays which will be investigated, if these delays do happen we are happy to refund the shipping cost on the order or find other amicable resolutions.
For any issues due to emergencies or severe weather conditions that affect all packages in the delivery area, we cannot be held responsible for uncontrollable events as FedEx/UPS considers these indisputable. Insufficient/incorrect addresses are also the responsibility of the sender, so please double or triple-check the delivery address correctly as this is out of our control.
Yes! We now offer to ship to multiple addresses with our products. Once you are done creating your first item, you can select "Add Another Gift Box" which will add your first item to your shopping cart and refresh the page so you can begin working on your next gift. As you go through the check out you may click "Multiple Recipients" to enter a different shipping address. Each gift box is shipped separately so there is a shipping fee per gift but this goes directly to the cost of shipping the additional items even if they are going to the same address.
Bundled items cannot be modified. Once you add your item to your cart you can no longer make any changes but you may remove the existing item and go back to step one to recreate your order.
We have extensively tested our shipping methods and cakes will arrive ready to eat and do not need any refrigeration but if you would like to save them for later we suggest freezing them to extend the shelf life. Only our large full-size cakes will arrive cold or frozen with dry ice and dry ice handling instructions due to the nature of their size and ingredients used.
When you click the delivery date field, a calendar will pop up. Simply select a date from the calendar to proceed. Your package will be delivered on or before the preferred date.
We do not offer same-day delivery. Overnight orders can be done provided they are placed before 2:00 PM (PST) at least a day before the event. The time of delivery is not guaranteed.
The delivery window is between 9 AM to 8 PM depending on the shipping location. We are unable to guarantee an exact time of delivery as this will depend on the route of the delivery driver on that day. While most packages are delivered earlier in the day and the recipient should get it when they normally receive packages from FedEx/UPS, we cannot guarantee a specific time.
We strongly advise researching the institution's shipping policies beforehand to ensure that you can include all necessary information required by said facility (i.e. delivery addresses that differ from the business address, and/or apartment, dorm room, college mailbox, suite, and house numbers). Send a cake will not be liable for a failed delivery due to incomplete or wrong information.
Due to rare unforeseen delays with FedEx & UPS, we strongly suggest ordering for delivery before the desired date. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
If the failed shipment is caused by a severe weather condition, uncontrollable situation, or due to an error by the purchaser or recipient, including but not limited to, an incomplete or incorrect address given upon submission of the order, receiver not in, special shipping instructions made at the request of the recipient (such as the recipient created a pick-up arrangement with the carrier but did not pick up within 5-7 days), refused deliveries, or orders left out and either stolen, ruined or damaged after delivery, we cannot refund or replace the shipment.
You will receive a confirmation email right after we place the order. Please read thoroughly and make sure the information entered is correct. FedEx or UPS charges $19.50 for incorrect address changes or corrections. Make sure to check the order confirmation email immediately and inform us should there be any address correction, as it must be done immediately. If the gift is not yet processed, we can update the shipping address. Please reach out to our Customer Service Team so we can assist you.
Once a label is created or the gift is FedEx/UPS, we can help you request a change address but may have to pay the corresponding change fee.

Yes. Send A Cake maintains PCI compliance to incorporate today's highest safety standards during every payment transaction. You can shop in confidence knowing we have appropriate security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you.
The security symbols on our site help identify our security.
During checkout, you will know you're on a secured page when the URL begins with HTTPS. The "s" stands for "secure" For example https://www.sendacake.com.
If an item is not in stock, pulled out, or does not show on the website, it is not available. You are welcome to add your stuff to the box by sending it to yourself first so you can open the box without triggering the explosion by securing the sides of the box with a rubber band or ribbon. Just be careful not to overdo it.
Our cakes and boxes do not explode (that sounds dangerous! ). We call our box style "Explosion Box" which refers to the panels of the box collapsing outwards once opened. You may select the additions we offer to the box to give it more of a fun surprise effect such as candies and faux flowers loosely falling out when opened or our Flying Butterfly Surprise which will have paper butterflies fluttering out of the box. Results may vary.
We understand how frustrating it must be for you if this happens. If your order is insured, you may directly file a damage claim with Route at https://claims.route.com. To assist us in identifying the problem, please send us avideo of the box opening.
