Shipping, Pricing and Terms
SHIPPING
All orders are shipped overnight via Federal Express.
Shipping prices range from $28 to $100 depending on the
destination address, zip code and the dimensions of shipping
box.
SHIPPING DISCLAIMER
We use Federal Express priority and Standard overnight for
all our shipping. The delicate nature of what we do does not
allow for 2-day shipping.
Credits for late shipping (i.e. package did not arrive until
the next day) and damaged product claims (maximum $100.00
and must be done within 15 days – otherwise claim is cannot
honored) are handled by Federal Express. It is the
purchaser’s responsibility to check the address and numbers
for accuracy. Wrong address or lack of is not ECC’s
responsibility and no new cake will be shipped or credit
given. If the item is a gift, they should notify the
recipient that a perishable gift is coming on that day. We,
ECC, have a release with Fed Ex and all packages are left on
the porch if no one is home, UNLESS the purchaser requests a
signature. This must be done at order entry so we mark our
label signature required. If purchaser requests a signature
and the recipient is not at home to sign, the product will
not be delivered until the following day and thus the
product will not be good. So for that reason we recommend a
release of package. ECC is not responsible for packages that
require a signature. If we, ECC, make an error in labeling
or product contents, we will either reship or not bill for
the product.
If the error falls on Federal Express, or any other courier
and ECC is able to file claim and receive credit for
shipping fees, we will reship. If Federal Express errors by
the “Act of God” paragraph (weather or uncontrolled
circumstances), they will not refund for shipping nor honor
their $100.00 money back guarantee. In this case, ECC will
reship the product, but purchaser will have to pay for
additional shipping charges. No refunds will be given.

PRICING AND TERMS
•
Wedding cakes: Wedding cakes are priced
at a per-person rate ranging from $11 to $20, depending on
the level of detail work and design. Smaller wedding cakes
and grooms’ cakes are priced on a per-project basis with a
$600.00 minimum. Larger parties may have the option of a
smaller set-up cake with an undecorated back-up cake. The
back-up cakes are priced at $6 per person.
• Tastings Fee: We do our tasting on
Thursday-Saturdays by appointment at our studio in Half Moon
Bay. We invite couples and families (limit 6 because of room
or space) to join us for a 1 hour meeting where you may
sample a variety of cheesecakes and traditional cakes, and
view our extensive slideshow (or portfolio). You will meet
with our creative consultant Susan Morgan to design and
discuss options. There is a $30.00 tasting fee for our meeting.
• Delivery charges: There is an additional
charge for delivery and set-up. We can ship most of our
designs throughout the continental United States. We
estimate shipping charges between $250 to $500. We also
provide a red carpet delivery service.
• Deposit: We require a nonrefundable deposit
of $500 to confirm an order for a wedding or specialty event
on a specific date. For wedding cakes and grooms’ cakes
shipped out of state, we require 50% of the total amount,
nonrefundable, paid up front. The payment balance is always
due 10 days prior to the event. We encourage customers to
secure a date early, at least 2-6 months in advance. We are
a small business and are limited in the number of events we
can handle each weekend. |
