Please select the appropriate service fee when placing your order online and we recommend that you call our Order Line 9836-4444 to place your rush order. If we are unable to process your request, we will credit your account for the difference in the fee.

Same Day charges apply to the following:

  • Orders received Monday through Friday for delivery the same day
  • Orders received Monday through Thursday after 12pm Noon EST for the next business day
  • Orders received Friday after 12pm Noon EST for delivery Friday-Monday - and we may not be able to process your order in time.
  • Same Day charges are also affected by holidays on which our offices are closed. Please see Legal Holidays for more information.

Orders received before 12pm Noon EST for delivery on the next business day will be subject to Rush/Next Day Service Fee. We recommend you call our Order Line 9836-4444 to place a Next Day order. (An order placed on Friday after 12pm Noon EST for delivery on Monday would be subject to the Same Day/Priority Rush fee.)

You may send orders and special requests by email, fax or order online at your convenience, however please note that orders submitted after 12pm Noon EST on Friday, over the weekend, or on holidays will not be processed until the next business day which may be Monday of the next week.

Saturday Delivery
We offer Saturday deliveries in most areas.

Sunday delivery is not available.

Holiday Orders
Holidays such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Christmas are a busy time for our decorators. Please order early for holiday deliveries. Holiday delivery is subject to availability in the receiver's area. Holiday orders are typically scheduled for delivery a few days prior to the holiday.

Surprise Deliveries Not Guaranteed
We generally tell the receiver we have a gift delivery for them. Often we must identify ourselves, and our company name may indicate the gift is ice cream . In addition, sometimes the receiver will ask the name of the person sending the gift. While surprises are fun, we must also be aware that people are understandably cautious and respect their concerns. If the gift must be a surprise, please enter the contact and delivery information for another person at the delivery address who can coordinate the delivery with us. We are unable to guarantee the surprise.

Receiver Availability
Please ensure the recipient will be available at the delivery address on the selected delivery day. Unlike flowers, 
ice cream cannot be left at the door. Someone must be available to accept the gift. In addition, we must be able to reach the recipient or an alternate contact at the delivery address prior to delivery. Receiver’s phone numbers are very useful in coordinating a delivery. If we are unable to reach the receiver prior to delivery, the delivery may be delayed until contact is made.

Attempted Delivery
If we attempt delivery and no one is available to accept the gift, the gift will be taken back to the factory and the receiver may make arrangements to pick it up.

  Ice cream Delivery Alternatives/Changes
At your request or at our discretion, the gift may be left with a responsible person such as a neighbor, security office, apartment manager, etc. Otherwise, the 
ice cream or gift may be held at the factory for pick up.

Requests for Morning or Afternoon Delivery
We will make every effort to honor requests for morning or afternoon delivery, or even a specific time whenever possible.

Changes to the Delivery Date or Time
Generally speaking the factory will call the receiver of the gift to confirm availability and location. If the receiver and us coordinate a preferred delivery date or time other than the date requested on the order, with or without notification to you, the order will still be considered appropriately fulfilled.

Delivery Times Outside of Normal Business Hours
Normal delivery hours for us are between 9 am and 7 pm. Requests for delivery outside the normal delivery times will incur an additional charge if possible. We are unable to guarantee delivery time.

Exceptional Delivery Requests
We are happy to do all we can to ensure an enjoyable
ice cream delivery experience, even with extreme requests. However, our prices reflect standard delivery situations, and exceptional delivery requirements can be quite costly if it is even possible for us to make the arrangements. If we are able to meet your request for a delivery outside our normal service, an additional charge to offset these expenses will apply.

Delivery Address
The delivery address and phone number are critical to the delivery. Please confirm the recipient's address and phone number including apartment number, area code, and zip code prior to placing your order. We are unable to deliver to P.O. Boxes. Receiver mobile phone numbers are helpful for coordinating deliveries. Please provide as much information as possible on the delivery location including the name of the business, building, office complex, suite number, floor number, building number, subdivision or community name, apartment complex, dorm, hospital, retirement or assisted living facility, funeral home, or school.

Special Ingredients/Food Allergies
