Refund & Return Policy
At Blue Chip Cookies Direct, we will do everything possible to create a “sweet experience” for you. We will review each customer’s “cookie case” with fresh eyes and consider appropriate steps based on the customer information provided. Due to the perishable nature of our products, all sales are final, and we do not refund or take any returns.
If there is an issue with your order once, please send us pictures by email within two days of delivery to [email protected]. Please provide photos of all the cookies in their original packaging, including the gift box and shipping box. Please ensure pictures of the cookie bags with the label facing up and the cookie flavor white label visible.
Please eat your cookies/treats within two days of receipt or freeze them due to no preservatives and real butter for future cravings. Make it a SWEET Experience.
Shipping Policy
Our Core Shipping Days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. We will ship on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays during peak times, one-day transit, or for corporate customer initiatives using USPS Priority Mail, First-Class Mail, and UPS Ground/Air/Overnight.
All our systems and pricing focus on delivery in 1-3 business days by USPS Priority Mail and UPS. We reserve the right to change the service ship date and carrier based on meeting our delivery guidelines for freshness.
We do not require a recipient’s signature when delivering; if you want this service, please write “signature required” in the comments box during checkout, this is additional cost based on carrier. Typically signatures delay delivery unless an individual is there to receive at residential addresses.
We provide you a tracking number to ensure you can track your package and communicate with the recipient when the package is delivered.
Please ensure all shipping information is correct and includes suite numbers, unit numbers, floors. Incorrect addresses or incomplete addresses could cause delays and might result in additional costs or delivery not being made to correct address. Blue Chip Cookies is not responsible for any shipment delivery if information is incomplete at the time of submission. We will do everything we can to ensure the information is correct if we notice an issue might arise.
An email with a tracking number will be sent to you when your “Cookie Order” hits the mail stream, which lets you know when your package is on the way and scanned.
If you are shipping to a business, we recommend you do so on a Monday or Tuesday to prevent packages from sitting at the company over the weekend.

- Incorrect/wrong addresses (Additional charges will apply.)
