Shipping issues
I placed 2 separate orders on the same day. After I placed my 1st order, I decided to order extra edible ink for the future and for a friend. But both orders were placed with in 5 minutes. I received my 1st order within a week, but the one with the extra ink took almost 2 weeks to receive. I kept calling to see where my order was and they kept telling me that I should be receiving it that day. After 3-4 phone calls I finally received it, it was shipped in a different manner.

Hi Idalia, I’m so sorry for the confusion with your two orders. Since they were entered separately they were considered separate orders in our system. Our shipping department cannot ship orders to the same address together unless it has been noted in the system. We have programs to calculate the most economical shipping methods for each order based on weight and size. Since the first order was much heavier, it shipped with one method which delivered it quickly whereas the second order was much lighter and shipped with another method which took a longer. Your two orders took very different routes to get to you, one much longer than the other. In the future if you ever find yourself with more than one order again, please contact us through our ‘contact us’ on our website or by phone, email or LiveChat on our Support Center to let us know so we can make the notations to ship your orders together in the same package. I know this explanation doesn’t really solve anything since you already went through the frustration of waiting and have already received both packages, but I do hope that it clears up the confusion as to why they shipped like that. And, I would also like to apologize for the 3-4 phone calls it took for you to try to get information before you received your orders. Once the orders are shipped and in transit, we cannot make changes or expedite them. I believe our customer service representatives with whom you spoke were not able to make a difference in the shipping but only give you the information they could see from the tracking on the two shipments. Thank you for letting me know about this. Although three stars in not the rating we aim for, I appreciate knowing what you went through so that we can make efforts to improve the quality of our responses in situations like these and hopefully provide enough information to you and customers like you with multiple orders to feel free to let us know so we can ship them together and save a lot of waiting. Thank you. All the best, Maria
