Parcels sent via Interlink or Fedex are fully tracked and very fast. When your parcel leaves Pretty Witty Cakes, it is scanned and you will receive an email letting you know your parcel is on its way. The email will contain the courier details so you can track the parcel online.

On the day your parcel is due to be delivered, you should receive an email giving you a one hour time slot for your delivery. Please check your junk mail folder if you don't receive this email. Alternatively you can call us after 9am on the morning that your delivery is due and we will be able to track your parcel and give you a one hour time slot for your delivery. Please note that the delivery slots are set by the courier first thing in the morning according to their routes so we cannot request specific times for delivery.

What if I need my parcel by 9am the next day?

If you need your parcel urgently and you are based in mainland England, Wales or Scotland, please call us and we can send on a before 9am delivery. Please note that this service is more expensive.

What happens if I’m out when the courier attempts delivery?

As all orders are sent by tracked courier, you can track your goods on-line. If you happen to be out a calling card should be left through your door for you to arrange re-delivery free of charge. Sometimes a courier will also attempt to deliver a parcel to a next door property and should leave a card to inform you. If you need help at any time you can call us or you can call the courier direct on the numbers provided to you when your parcel is dispatched. Please note that if your goods are not called for within 5 days they may send them back to us and we would have to re-charge to send them again.

Damaged Goods

If your goods are damaged in transit Pretty Witty Cakes will replace the item free of charge. We may ask for proof of the damage and a written statement so that we can proceed with a compensation claim against the courier. Please email [email protected] with your order number and a photo of the goods if they are damaged within 24 hours of receipt of the parcel.

Delayed or Missing Parcels

It is very rare for a parcel to go missing or be delayed because we can track them via the live tracking service that the courier has. In the UK, the couriers all have trackers on their vans so it is possible to tell if a parcel has been to the street address and to even see such details as the colour of the front door where the parcel was delivered! If for any reason your parcel is delayed or goes missing, please carry out the following checks:

  • That you have not been carded with a note saying the courier attempted delivery and you were not in and has asked you to call to rearrange delivery
  • That it has not been left in or outside your home i.e.. a meter cupboard, porch or left with a neighbour.

Having carried out the above checks please contact us by telephone +44 (0) 7976 327278 or +44 (0) 1892 611710 or by email to: [email protected] stating your order reference, delivery address and contact details. We shall investigate lost packages with our courier partners and will arrange a replacement or full refund in the event the goods cannot be found. Please note we require a minimum of two working days to investigate lost packages with our couriers.
