A: We take numerous measures to ensure that your items will not be damaged during shipment, including bubble wrap and biodegradable shipping peanuts. In the unlikely instance that your items arrive damaged, please immediately take a picture of the damaged items and send to ask@safesweets.om so that we can assess and address the damage.
Q: What if my product arrives melted?
A: One of the many things that separates Safe Sweets from our competitors is our “melt-free guarantee.” If your product arrives melted, just shoot us a pic of the melted items and we will replace them at no charge. It’s that easy! We do not want our customers to have to worry about something going wrong with the postal service, extreme weather, or any other variable outside of their control. We strongly encourage you to ship to a business address, or any address where someone is likely to be available to receive the shipment at the time it is delivered. However, it that’s not an option for you, you’re still covered by the melt-free guarantee!
If your product(s) arrive melted/damaged, please immediately take a picture of the melted/damaged product and send it to ask@safesweets.com. We will quickly assess your request and if an exchange is warranted we will provide you with a return shipping label. Once we receive your defective items, we will issue you a replacement. We will NOT issue replacements for any defective items that are not returned to us, unless we specifically advise you not to return them.
