I have placed an order but haven't received an update. Why is this?
Thank you for placing an order via our website. When booked you will have received either a confirmation text message, or a confirmation email. This is dependent on which you provided at checkout.
Should we need to contact you, we will do so via email first. We usually only need to get in contact if there is an issue with your order and we need more information in regards to your design details. Please ensure that you leave a valid email address and regularly check your emails incase we do need to get in touch.
If you are collecting on a Saturday, please contact us to arrange your collection time. If you need your order for a specific time, it is really important to let us know as soon as possible, so we can schedule this appropriately.
I have contacted you but have not received a reply. What do I do?
Thank you for contacting us. We aim to reply to all messages, enquiries and emails in a fast fashion but sometimes this is not possible when we are particularly busy. As a small team, it does take us a little while to respond to all messages. If you have not received a reply within 96 hours of sending your message, please resend.
Do you have a contact number?
We do not have a business contact number. Due to the creative nature to our business, we have found that enquiries via call are not effective as we are unable to go back to the conversation. Calls are also extremely time consuming and not effective for us. If you would like to place an order, or have an enquiry please contact us via social media or via email: info@thecouplethatbakes.com

I need my order for a date which is not available on your website, what can I do?
If your date is not showing on the website, this usually means we do not have availability. However, please feel free to contact us via social media or email to confirm this. If we can fit you in, we will. This is not always possible but we will try our best to help where we can.
Wheelchair Accessibility?
We are based on an industrial estate which is particularly bumpy and our unit has a slight step to get inside, with no ramp, therefore it is not wheelchair accessible. We are more than happy to assist with your order and bring out to your car, to ensure our services are accessible for everyone. Please just send me an email at info@thecouplethatbakes.com to notify us that this is required.
If any other assistance is required to suit individuals accessibility needs, please email me at info@thecouplethatbakes.com to arrange.
