Please note orders placed after midnight on Friday will be posted after the weekend, due to postal services not working weekends.

Jessicas Sweets Online only sends out the best quality products to their customers that are well within their best before date. However we cannot accept responsibility for deterioration caused by climatic conditions or transportation once the goods have left our premises.

We will deliver the products ordered by you to the delivery address provided. It is however your responsibility to provide us with accurate delivery information as we will not check or verify addresses and messages supplied by you.

If you request for a courier to leave your parcel in a ‘safe place’ upon delivery, the customer is then accepting responsibility and any risk for that parcel, in the event the parcel is stolen or damaged Jessica’s will not accept responsibility for the parcel.

We stock a huge range of sweets from many different manufacturers. This means we cannot guarantee that our products are free of nuts or nut traces.

In line with our environmental commitments, we will choose the most minimal packaging to send your order without compromising presentation or affecting the quality of the sweets.

Delivery Methods & Timescales:
We send all our parcels with a courier company which they aim to deliver within 2-3 working days. If you require a parcel urgently, please contact us by email or phone or our facebook page and we will endeavor to fulfill your order subject to timescales (please note extra postage may be required).
