Shipping Policies & Information

Shipping Method

Lilac & Crème ships nationwide with UPS Next Day Air, packed with ice in insulated boxes to maintain a cold, stable temperature during transit. 

Please be aware that Next Day Air shipping is the only service level we offer. Due to the perishable nature of our products, we do not ship via standard ground service. 

UPS Next Day Air packages are usually delivered before 2 PM, however, delivery times are not guaranteed. Unexpected events, such as weather delays, traffic, or carrier disruptions, can affect arrival. Lilac & Crème monitors all shipments and is available to assist if problems occur, but we cannot take responsibility for delays once the package leaves our warehouse.

While delays are uncommon, they can occur. In the event of a delivery delay, a package may arrive a day later than expected. Customers can track their shipment using the UPS tracking number provided at the time of shipping to see real-time updates. UPS may attempt delivery later in the day, reroute the package, or hold it at a local facility until delivery is possible. 

In the event that your package is delayed, lost, or damaged during transit, please contact us as soon as possible. We will work with the shipping carrier to investigate the issue and, if necessary, file a claim. However, we cannot guarantee the outcome of such claims or be held responsible for any losses incurred as a result of lost or damaged shipments.

 

Shipping Rates

Shipping rates are calculated based on various factors, including the weight, dimensions, and destination of the package. These charges are displayed during the checkout process and may be subject to change without prior notice due to fluctuations in carrier rates or other factors. Any additional fees, such as customs duties or taxes, imposed by the destination country are the responsibility of the customer.
