Though your recipients phone number is printed on the UPS shipping label unfortunately, UPS drivers do not carry company cell phones and cannot contact your recipient before, upon, nor following a delivery attempt.

Most colleges/universities have their own protocol for addressing and receiving packages. We highly recommend contacting the place to which you wish to send the gift and find out information regarding their on-site mail process to ensure delivery to your student. Simply tell them you're trying to send a perishable gift to someone there via UPS, and they will be able to tell you the exact address to which the package must be sent. Most educational institutions will not give the UPS driver access to their grounds/facilities to search out a recipient directly for the safety of the students and staff, so the package must be received by a central location (college/dorm mail center, front desk/reception, shipping dock, etc.). Once received, the mailing center shall either deliver the package to your recipient or alert him/her of its arrival for pick-up. **Additionally, many educational institutions can only receive deliveries Monday through Friday, and do not allow for Saturday deliveries. Given the perishable nature of our products, it is always best to find out as much information as possible before ordering to ensure your gift is received in a timely manner (i.e., how to fill out the UPS shipping label properly, where specifically the package will be delivered to, who will sign for it, etc.).

If you discover after your order has shipped that there is a problem with the address, we do have options.

UPS Change of Address: UPS offers a service to intercept a package that is already in transit and change or update the shipping address. There is a charge of $18 and it typically will cause a one business day delay in delivery. You must contact our Customer Care team at 888-987-9474 and provide payment details before we can make the adjustment to the address of a package in transit. Once a change of address has been made with UPS and additional transit time is imposed on our perishable gifts, we no longer guarantee the freshness of our gifts.

IMPORTANT! Bake Me A Wish! cannot be held responsible for incorrect or omitted information. Any exception received, due to missing or bad information, immediately nullifies guaranteed delivery. Apartment numbers and suites for residential and business deliveries must be included for on-time delivery. Your cake will not be delivered on time without this information! UPS Will Call: UPS offers a service to hold your package at the nearest UPS customer center for pickup. There is no charge for this service. If you request the will call on the same day delivery is due, the local UPS driver will take your package to the customer center after their route is complete. We are unable to tell you a specific time the package will be available for pick up. You must contact the local UPS customer center. We will provide you with the address and phone number of the location. A government issued photo ID is required when shipping or picking up a package at a UPS Customer Center and must match the name of the receiver on the shipping label. Please note: UPS Will Call option not offered for all locations due to UPS restrictions
