- Where will my personal message go?
- We’ll print your message on the back of your address label, which is clearly marked ‘Who’s your Biscuiteer? Turn over for your personal message…’ We also stamp each of our parcels to make sure this message is really easy to find.
- What is a ‘personalised’ biscuit?
- This is when we hand-ice your special message straight onto your biscuits in our very best writing. And don’t worry if you have a lot to say, you’ll still get the option to add a longer printed personal message of up to 200 characters.
- What is a ‘personalised’ chocolate?
- This is where we hand-ice your special message straight on to your chocolates in our very best writing: one letter = one chocolate. And don’t worry if you have a lot to say, you’ll still get the option to add a longer printed personal message of up to 200 characters.
- Do you deliver internationally?
- Yes, we ship our delicious biscuits all over the world with the choice of Royal Mail International or Parcelforce service. However we can only post our Say Cheese! tin and our chocolates within the UK.
- How many biscuits are in the tins?
- Most of our big tins of biscuits contain an average of sixteen biscuits and our mini tins of biscuits an average of nine. There are a few exceptions: our Biscuit Classics contain exactly 12 biscuits, our Say Cheese! tin has two bags with nine biscuits in each bag, and our Days of the Week Doggy Treats tin contains one big bone biscuit and seven bags with ten little bone biscuits in each bag.
- How many chocolates are in the tins?
- Our personalised giant chocolates tins contain 48 chocolates in a mixture of 12 different flavours (four of each flavour per tin). Our mini chocolates tins contain 24 chocolates in a mixture of 12 different flavours (two of each flavour per tin). Our little chocolate boxes contain either six violet creams or a mixture of six different flavours (one of the following: Chocolate & Orange, Raspberry & Rose, Artisan Praline, Hazelnut Praline, Cinnamon Toffee Apple and Franzipan.)
- How big are the Biscuits?
- Our biscuits vary in size according to design. The smallest are the stiletto shoes, which are about an inch and half long, but as we all know it’s what you do with it that counts!
- How big are the chocolates?
- All our chocs are handmade, so they do vary slightly in size. The average individual chocolate measures 2.5cm x 2.5cm and is 1.4cm high. As all our chocolates are hand-iced, there may also be some small variations in colour and design in each tin. We think this adds to their charm; we hope you agree!
- What flavours are the chocolates?
- Our chocolates come in a selections of twelve different flavours: Artisan Praline, Creme Caramel, Dark Berries, Hazelnut Praline, Cinnamon Toffee Apple, Ginger and Lemongrass, Chocolate & Orange, Raspberry & Rose, Rose & Geranium, Fudge Brique, Franzipan, Honey Spice. A giant tin of chocs contains four of each flavour, a medium tin contains two of each flavour, and a little box contains either six violet cremes or one of each of the following: Chocolate & Orange, Raspberry & Rose, Artisan Praline, Hazelnut Praline, Cinnamon Toffee Apple and Franzipan.
- How will my pressie be packaged?
- We want your goodies to arrive in perfect condition; to look and taste as good as they did when they left our kitchens. So we’ve put a lot of effort into getting the packaging just right. After carefully nestling your biscuits or chocolates in their food-safe packaging, we wrap the whole thing up in a protective corrugated cardboard outer, which helps protect them during their journey.

- Both our biscuit cards and tins are sent on a Royal Mail 2-day tracked service. The biscuit cards do not require a signature and will be popped straight through your letter box. Tins and multiple items do require a signature and if the recipient is not in a ‘while you were out’ card will be left so they can re-arrange a delivery or pick it up from their local post office. The Royal Mail 2-day tracked service aims to deliver within two working days (Monday-Saturday) from the date of dispatch. Royal Mail advise that 95% of the parcels arrive on time but can occasionally be delayed. Orders for postcodes starting with GY, HS, IM, JE, KW, ZE2 and ZE3 may require an additional day to reach the recipient. Delivery dates are not guaranteed and Royal Mail will not consider a parcel lost until 15 working days after dispatch
- Do we offer international delivery?
- Yes, we can send our goodies abroad, either by Royal Mail International or Parcelforce. This means you can choose the best price and service for your order. Parcelforce will often be cheaper for larger orders and they offer a fully tracked service. Royal Mail has a 2kg weight limit, whereas Parcelforce has a 30Kg weight limit, although sometimes this can vary depending on customs weight restrictions of the country where you’re sending the parcel to.
And, of course, all international deliveries need to go through customs clearance, which can sometimes cause delays.
We’re very sad to say that because of the ingredients in our Say Cheese! tin and our chocolates range, we’re not able to deliver these outside of the UK.ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL
Where possible we send all international parcels by Royal Mail Airsure. They deliver to:
Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Irish Republic, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, USA, Azores (Portugal), Balearic Islands (Spain), Canary Islands (Spain), Corsica (France), Faroe Islands (Denmark), Madeira (Portugal), Monaco (France).
Royal Mail Airsure is a tracked service and aims to deliver to Western Europe in two working days; Eastern Europe and postal subsidiaries (islands and principalities) in three working days; and rest of the world in four working days after posting. The speed of service is generally a day faster than International Signed For airmail.
Where Airsure service is not available we send by Royal Mail International Signed For, which aims to deliver within three working days to Western Europe; four working days to eastern Europe; and five working days for the rest of the world. This is not a fully tracked service.PARCELFORCE INTERNATIONAL
This is a fully tracked service. Delivery times vary depending on destination and region but on average deliveries are made in two to five working days.
