We are here to provide the best Sweet Confections, and top tier customer service. We are aware there are unforeseen occurrences that may occur. We are here to help resolve those as best we can. As a protection for the company and the customer we have some policies in place that should be understood before ordering. We also have contracts that maybe requested to sign as well. Below we are listing important information that everyone should be aware of for those unfortunate situations. These listings still stand even if no contract is signed.
Ordering
We ask that all orders are placed 3-4 weeks prior to your event. Most orders require special material that can't be found in local stores and must be ordered online and delivered to our bakery.
Any Order $175 or less requires a FULL PAYMENT to secure order. All other orders require a 50% deposit within 24 hrs once invoice has been sent and your contract has been executed. If your deposit has not been received as agreed, your invoice will be cancelled, and the next person will take that event date. We might not be able to resend invoice due to availability. Your initial deposit reserves your event date and is applied towards the order.
We must receive the balance for all orders by the due date indicated (7 days before event date). Late payments could result in order cancelation. In most cases if you miss your final payment on the initial due date, there will be an additional 25% charge to the total that is due if you are still wanting the order to be processed.
Rush Orders
Requests made 7 days before due date may be subject to a $50 or more rush order fee. Please note, that we make each order fresh. We spend long hours preparing to execute our Sweet Confections. We really prefer you place these orders at the requested time. Depending on our work week we might not be able to accommodate your rush order.
Changes
We’ll do our best to accommodate any changes that are made 7 days before the order due date. Please note - extra charges may apply to last-minute changes.
Refunds/Cancellations
If a cancellation is requested after work has been started and supplies have been ordered, there will be no refunds for cancellation. Certain orders if cancelled due to dire circumstances may be transferred to a different order within 30 days, this is at the full discretion of Shirlisa's Sweet Confections, LLC. Refunds are not provided for any reason. Due to our full schedule and our attention to detail, we spend many hours planning and preparing before even beginning on a cake.”
