Delivery vs collection: what is the difference?
| Option | Best for | Things to know |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | Convenience, surprise gifts, busy schedules, events where you cannot travel. | Checkout confirms delivery by postcode. Same-day or next-day slots may be available depending on capacity. |
| Collection | Addresses outside the delivery area or customers who prefer to pick up. | Collection is available from RM8 2SR. Ideal as a backup option if delivery is not available. |
When delivery makes the most sense
- You are sending a cake as a gift or surprise.
- You need the cake to arrive directly at a home, venue or workplace.
- You see a suitable same-day or next-day slot at checkout.
