CUSTOM MADE ORDERS

1. Firstly, please peruse our website using the search bar icon and type in a keyword that best describes what you are looking for. You can always enter the online shop and find a category that best suits what you are looking for. As we may already have something listed with a price, that can be ordered straight away.
2. We do require at least 2 days notice to organise any custom made orders. Sometimes we can organise a custom made order in less than 2 days, but you will need to email us a picture of what you have in mind, using the website “contact us” page. Then follow up with a phone call.
3. For all other custom made enquiries, please use our website “Contact Us”page and we can get back to you with a quote. We are quite busy on a Friday and Saturday and sometimes it takes us a few business days to get back to you with a quote.

SAME DAY ORDERING (and delivery of orders under $40)

Same day deliveries (and delivery of orders under $40) are made through a third-party personalised courier service and can be delivered within 2-4 hours. This service will cost more than our next day delivery service that we offer. You could possibly be paying an extra $10 – $30 more, than the estimated delivery prices listed on our website.

To organise an order at short notice,

1. Please call ahead to make sure we can take your order. We may be able to process your order over the phone, with credit card details, depending on how busy we are at the time. If we cannot take your order over the phone, please continue following these instructions.
2. You will still need to make an order through our website and choose the pickup option in the checkout. Even if you require delivery, please still choose the pickup option. As we will need to charge delivery separately, according to what the third-party delivery company will charge us.
3. If you are wanting a same day delivery, the pickup date selector will only allow you to choose next day pick up. Select the following business day (or required delivery date), but write the following in the comment section, so we know what to do with your order. Make a note in the comments section in the checkout, that you require same day delivery, or you require delivery of an order under $40 or you will pick up your order at a particular time that day.
4. You will still need to phone us so we know you have made an order. If you require delivery and have not paid for delivery, then we will also need to process the extra delivery charge over the phone with a credit card.

Please note: If you require a third-party delivery service, then Karma Cupcakes takes no responsibility if cakes are damaged during delivery and if there is no one home at time of delivery. Though we do our utmost to try and rectify any problems if they do occur and use a trusted third-party delivery service.
