ORDERS FOR PICK-UP

Ordering - all orders must be placed online no later than 4:00 PM the day before Pick Up. As all curbside pick up orders are 'By Appointment' Only, please make sure that you arrive on the time selected at check out. If you are running late (I.e. stuck in traffic and/or faced with a similar small delay), please call to let us know so that we can wait for you. If we do not hear from you within 20-minutes from your Pick Up Time Appointment, there may not be anyone at the location to give your order. In the case of a Missed Pick Up, you will have to email us to reschedule another appointment. If you need to change the date and/or time of your initial selection, please email reply via your order confirmation order with the requested change. And we will reply by email to confirm and/or suggest another selection, if not available. 

Please note that we take great care to build your order so that it is exactly as you purchased. However, we highly suggest that you make sure that everything is as stated on your order confirmation before you leave our Curbside Pickup location. Any claims of order inaccuracies after you leave our location will not be considered.

ORDER FOR LOCAL DELIVERY

Service - we offer "Same Day / 4-hours" service on Friday / Saturday Only with a delivery window of between 2:30 PM and 6:00 PM to your location. The delivery company states / reserves the right that, in some cases due to unforeseen circumstances (I.e. traffic accident, bridge closure, etc.), the delivery window may be extended past 6:00 PM and up to 7:00 PM.

Ordering - all orders must be placed no later than 4:00 PM the day before delivery. You may order online a day or more ahead of time, but if you order past the deadline, we will not be able to process your order for that day and will have to reschedule for the next day that Wild Sweets is open. For example, if you missed the Thursday 4:00 PM cut-off for Friday delivery, your order will be scheduled for Saturday delivery. If you want to cancel the order and request a refund, there will be a minimum $5.00 fee (based on order value) as posted in our Terms & Conditions.

Delivery Fees / Zones - delivery fees are calculated based on 'Zones' and see specific details below including Free Delivery offer with minimum order value. Due to on-going challenges with the delivery industry, we currently provide delivery services to one zone only.
  • Zone 01
      • Serviced Area - Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby
      • Delivery fee - $15.00 and includes a reusable thermal bag + ice gel if/when applicable and/or climate requires.
      • Free Delivery Offer - on orders of $75.00 or more
      Packaging - all orders are packed in an insulated foil bag (when climatic conditions require) and then in a cardboard shipping box.    

      Delivery - if instructed at ordering, the driver can leave the package at your door ONLY if your location is a detached house or townhome with a street entrance front door. If you live in an apartment, the courier states that the driver will attempt to contact you by phone when at your location. If you provided a buzz code when placing your order, the driver may also buzz your unit. The courier can offer text messaging of advanced notification of driver's delivery ETA / delivery time. However, due to the North American spam policy, text messages can only be sent by the delivery company if you provide your consent to receive such messages. You will receive the consent text message first, and once you agree, the delivery update text message will follow.  

      Post Delivery - Shelf stable items such as chocolate bars, collections, etc. can be left out unless the temperature inside your home is higher than 20°C then we recommend keeping them in the fridge. However, they should be packed first in a resealable type bag (I.e. Ziploc®) to protect against flavour transfer. 

      Missed Delivery - You are responsible to ensure that you / someone else is at home to receive your order on the day / time within the delivery window as posted above. If you missed the delivery - no one was at home to receive and/or you did not provide alternate delivery instructions - the delivery company will return the order back to us with a minimum $15.00 charge (depending on the location) for the service. For Missed Deliveries, you will have 3 options to consider including;
      1. Forfeit the entire order. In other words, you lose the entire value (product + delivery) of the order - no refunds
      2. Have the order scheduled for a re-delivery. Please note that as we can only offer a maximum of ± 4-hours window for safe delivery, any perishable items from a Missed Delivery would have exceeded the allowed window and therefore will have to be discarded  / not be applicable for any refund request. Items that are shelf stable (I.e chocolate bars, collections) can be re-delivered, but you will be required to pay for the rescheduled delivery fee (to be calculated based on your location if different from the initial order) plus the return fee (minimum $15.00). Also note that the same product from the Missed Delivery will be re-delivered and depending on the climatic conditions / time that it took to get the product back to us, such product may potentially have been damaged due to extended exposure to heat outside the allowable window. We are not responsible for such damage and will not offer any replacements
      3. Collect / Pick up the Missed Delivery order of shelf stable products only at our location By Appointment the next available day that Wild Sweets Kitchen Lab is open. The minimum $15.00 return delivery charge will apply and needs to be paid when collecting.
