ORDER DELIVERY:
Daffy Apple orders are shipped via UPS Ground*.  If there are circumstances beyond Daffy Apple's direct control causing an order to be late or missed, product will not be shipped beyond normal ground service (UPS Ground) at Daffy Apple's expense.  These circumstances include: orders lost due to web site malfunction, carrier company errors, bad weather or other reasons causing late or missed deliveries.  In the case of damaged shipments, late shipments or missed shipments due to carrier fault, we will refund any money collected for the product and shipping.  We will not try to ship again beyond normal ground service (UPS Ground).  For more detailed shipping information, please visit the Daffy Apple Shipping Information
 

DAMAGED PRODUCT:
If product is damaged during shipment, we ask that digital photos are taken of the product immediately and sent to us via email for a refund.  Photos are required for a refund.  Due to the perishable nature of the finished caramel apples and high shipping costs for an inexpensive product, please do not ship products back to the factory.  The product can be discarded after an appropriate refund has been determined.  All damaged product claims need to be made within 24 hours of delivery.  Per UPS's Terms and Conditions of Service: "Original Packaging Materials. In the event that a claim is made for damage to a package, the original packaging materials must be made available to UPS or its designee for inspection."


ORDERS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY:
There is no guarantee that your order will arrive on time if an order is placed less than 8 business days in advance of the date needed.  If an order is needed in less than 8 business days, Daffy Apple must be contacted prior to placing your order, as expedited shipping may be required.  If an order needs to be canceled because it will not arrive in time, a Cancellation Fee will be subtracted from the refund amount.  Daffy Apple orders are received and processed during business hours only.  Business hours are 8:00 am - 4:30 pm (Mountain Time) Monday through Friday.  Orders placed outside of business hours will be processed the next business day.  For example, orders placed over the weekend will not be processed until Monday.  Orders are not received and processed on holidays.
