    • Each day within the box is individually packaged and labeled by the individual vendors. 
    • Advent calendars will be delivered prior to Thanksgiving, between November 13 - 25, regardless of the date of purchased. Thank you for your patience and understanding during the busy holiday shipping season.
    • If you are buying multiple boxes going to multiple addresses, please purchase each one separately. By doing so, you will receive a tracking number per box.
    • Shipping is free in the contiguous United States; we do offer shipping to Hawaii and Alaska for an additional extra charge that will be added at checkout. 
    • Unfortunately, we do not offer international shipping. It’s a little too much for us to manage and do well!

    • The physical box is 21 inches high x 14 inches wide x 4 inches, with each daily item being contained within a 3 inch square cube. 
    • Our returning states calendars each return with 6 - 12 new vendors or products. If you are interested in an experience with entirely new treats this season, I encourage you to consider purchasing or gifting one of our other state offerings.

    Free shipping! 

    We will attempt to have orders delivered 1 - 3 days before the date you requested but due to the nature of the shipping during the pandemic and holiday season, may be unable to deliver on the precise day you select. Advent calendars will be delivered in the month of November prior to Thanksgiving regardless of the delivery date that you select. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Can I order multiple boxes going to multiple places in the same order? 

    If you are ordering fewer than five boxes, we encourage you to create a separate order for each box being ordered. This allows you to receive an individual tracking number for each order. 

    If you are buying five or more boxes going to multiple addresses, you can purchase them in one order. Once you receive your confirmation, please forward it to us with the shipment details for each box. Please include the recipient names, mailing addresses, and gift messages for each box. We will handle the rest to ship it out for you. 

    Do you offer international shipping, or shipping to Hawaii and Alaska? 

    We do offer shipping to Hawaii and Alaska, though there will be an extra charge at checkout to ship to these states.

    Gifting

    Can I include a message that the gift recipient sees?

    Yes! You can add a gift message at checkout. If you’re unable to add a message at checkout for any reason, email us your order number and gift message and we'll add the message for you. 

    Will the price be printed on the packaging slip? 

    No. We know many of these orders are gifts, so we never show prices anywhere in the shipping materials. 

    General Questions

    Can I use a gift card? 

    Yes! To do so, please email office@deliciousfooddelivered.com and we'll place the order for you. 

    Are you real?

    Yes! Delicious Food Delivered is run by the same people behind Milwaukee Food Tours, Chicago Food Tours, and Travel Deliciously. We know it is nerve-racking to place an order online and not know the seller. Please don't hesitate to call us directly at 262-853-5239 if you prefer to place the order by phone. You can also follow us on Facebook or read our online reviews for further confidence before placing your order. 

    If I wait and buy this next week, will it be sold out? 

    We've sold out three years in a row by November 15th, so we encourage you to place your orders before it’s too late. Once the gift boxes are sold out, they’re gone until next year. If you want us to hold the purchase and ship it at a later date, please send us an email and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

    Shipping

    When will my items ship?

    Orders placed by Monday, November 21 will ship by Thanksgiving. U.S. delivery takes 2-5 days depending on the destination. 

    Can I order now but delay delivery until closer to Christmas?

    Our holiday gift boxes sell out quickly, and we understand you want to secure your order in time, but may want your box delivered later. If so, please forward us your confirmation email, let us know when you’d like your box delivered, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
