Order by 6pm and the donuts arrive tomorrow.

When you need it fast

Same-Day Donuts? Sometimes. Tomorrow? Promise.

Here’s the honest version: our bakery partners bake to order each morning, so same-day only works when a bakery near the recipient has spare capacity. When it does, you’ll see it as an option for your ZIP. What we can always do: order by 6pm today, decorated box at their door tomorrow.

The Fine Print, Up Front

  • ✓Next-day is the promise. Order by 6pm local time and tomorrow is available Monday through Saturday, in any of our three windows.
  • ✓Same-day is an option, not a guarantee. When a bakery in the recipient’s area can take it, same-day appears at checkout as a $15 add-on. If you don’t see it, it genuinely wasn’t possible that day.
  • ✓We don’t take orders we can’t deliver. The availability checker shows real dates, not optimistic ones. What it offers, we deliver.
  • ✓Sundays are the exception. No Sunday deliveries yet — for a Sunday birthday, Saturday delivery makes it a weekend-long celebration instead.

Timing Questions

How much does same-day delivery cost?

When it’s available for the ZIP and date, same-day is a $15 add-on on top of the box price and the standard $7.95 delivery fee.

Why can’t you always do same-day?

Because every box is baked to order on delivery morning by a local bakery. Once that morning’s bake is planned, same-day slots depend on spare capacity — we’d rather say no than deliver yesterday’s donuts.

What’s the real cutoff for next-day?

6pm in the recipient’s local time zone, Monday through Saturday. Order at 6:01 and you’re looking at the day after — the checker never fudges it.

Can I pick an exact delivery time?

You pick a window: morning (9–12), midday (12–3), or afternoon (3–6). For birthday surprises, morning is the crowd favorite.

I missed the birthday entirely. Now what?

A box that arrives two days late with a card that owns it — “Late, but so were you in 1994” — tends to land better than most on-time gifts. See our last-minute page and message ideas.
