SHIPPING & HANDLING MACARONS

25. Where do you ship macarons?

We ship our macarons nationwide in the US.

​

26. How does shipping work?

Please order online and enter the date you want the macarons to be shipped/delivered. We use USPS/UPS/FedEx for all our shipping outside Boston. We use ground service (1 or 2 business days) for states in the North East, and (2 to 3 business days) for all the other states.. Every box we ship, it includes a cool pack and a thermal envelop to ensure freshness.  The cool packs might be warm when the macarons arrive, but that only means it has served its purpose.  

​

27. How should I store the macarons once I receive them?

We advise that you put the macarons in the refrigerator (NOT FREEZER) immediately upon delivery

28. I received a box of macarons while I was not home - can I still eat them?

You are the best judge, it depends on how they look and how they were kept. If they were outside in winter weather they should be fine. However, if they were stored inside a warm delivery room for a few days, they shouldn’t be good.
