2. common questions

Is Tracked 24 guaranteed?
No - it aims for next-day delivery, but delays can happen. We recommend this only if timing isn’t essential.

 

What is Guaranteed Next Day Delivery?
Royal Mail Special Delivery guarantees arrival by 1PM the next day (Mon–Sat). It’s the most reliable option for important dates.

 

Can I choose a delivery date?
Yes! Just choose your delivery date at the same time you pick your cake flavour - it’s all in one simple step.

For the best chance of it arriving on time, choose Special Delivery and consider selecting a day earlier as a buffer.

 

What if my MailBake arrives early?
With Tracked 24 services, early deliveries can happen as Royal Mail sometimes delivers on Sundays, depending on your postcode. While we can’t control this, we think early cake is always better than no cake!

 

What if my MailBake arrives late?
If your order is delayed, our friendly team is here to help. While we can’t control courier issues, we’ll always do our best to make it right.

 

Is a signature required?
Yes, if you choose Tracked 24 with Signature or Special Delivery, a signature is required upon arrival for added peace of mind.
