Breakage
We take much care in shipping all of our cookies. For our hand-decorated cookies, each cookie is individually wrapped in bubble wrap. Some of our smaller photo cookies are less prone to breakage so every other cookie is wrapped in bubble wrap. We do not give refunds (money-back) on cookies that arrive broken. If your order should arrive with broken cookies, please take photo proof to E-mail to us (within 24 hours of receipt) and keep all of the broken cookies and packaging in case UPS will need to see it to verify the claim.
On every order insurance is included up to $100.00 per package, if you would like us to increase the value of the insurance please advise this to us by E-mailing orders@alissweettreats.com immediately (within 24 hours) after placing your order. If your order should become damaged during transit, we will assist you in placing the claim with UPS. We can not assist you with the claim if your order was shipped via USPS.
For orders sent USPS or for orders that were denied your claim, we will give you a company credit for each cookie that arrived completely broken (minor damage not included). We will need photo proof and proof that the claim was denied prior to sending you company credit.
We will send replacement cookies for the exact quantity of cookies that arrived completely broken or give company credit (photo proof is needed before replacement is sent or credit given). Please note that replacements can take up to 2 weeks to receive. You will not be charged for shipping on replacement orders.
Please do not return of refuse packages or broken cookies, this will not act as a cancellation of your order and we will not issue refund.

Late/Incorrect Address Shipping
Ali's Sweet Treats will not refund a customer due to shipping delays, inclement weather, weather disasters or incorrect address information. If the customer chooses UPS Ground at the time of placing the order, we are not responsible if the order does not arrive within the time frame given to us by UPS. If UPS or USPS Express (guaranteed packages only) is at fault (they change delivery date or lose the package), we will help you with the claim. However, we will not give refunds or credits for orders that are reported missing or delayed by any shipping carrier. If UPS or USPS gives us credit for the shipping charges, we will pass this credit onto our customer (only after we receive credit/check). Handling charges will not be refunded.
Normally we will allow 1-2 extra days to allow for any delivery delays caused by UPS Ground, this is usually only given to customers who place their order 3 or more weeks in advance. If you place your order less than 2 weeks in advance we recommend choosing UPS 3 Day, 2nd Day or Next Day to guarantee delivery by a certain date.
The delivery date we give you at the time of placing your order is an estimate. We will have it delivered 1-3 days before the event date. The exact date can only given for hand-delivered orders, UPS 3 Day Select, UPS 2nd Day or UPS Next Day.
Please note that all orders receive a confirmation via E-mail. If the confirmation has an incorrect address on it, you must notify us within 24 hours. We will not be responsible for late or lost packages due to an incorrect address. If UPS is able to find the correct address but charges us $10 incorrect address fee, you will be responsible for paying this fee.

Cookie Variations
All of our treats are made by hand. With this in mind, please note that there may be slight differences between the cookies you will receive and the cookies shown on the website or images sent to you by E-mail. On occasion our photo cookies will change colors during transport or after receipt. This is more common with darker colored cookies. Our photo cookie images will sometimes stick to the paper in certain weather conditions, please keep our photo cookies away from light and in a cool place (not the refrigerator or freezer). We will not issue refunds or credits for cookies that have slight variations or color changes. If you would like to keep your cookies as a memento, you can keep them in the freezer for a long time (we don't know exactly how long, but we have had customers who tell us they have kept them more than 2 years.).
If you choose to freeze your cookies to help keep them fresh before an event, please put them inside an airtight container before placing them in the freezer and bring them back to room temperature before opening the container. We have never frozen our cookies (we're too scared and we like the idea of always keeping our cookie dough and cookies "fresh!"), so please freeze your cookies at "your own risk". Never put any of our cookies in the refrigerator! Condensation will ruin the icing of hand-decorated cookies and images of photo cookies.
