FAQ - Orders & Shipping
Orders ship Monday through Thursday via UPS Ground, FedEx Home Delivery, or FedEx 2nd Day Air, depending on your location. Most orders ship within 3-5 business days, but this can vary due to weather, production schedules, and carrier availability. You’ll receive a tracking email once your package is on its way.
Our goal is to ensure your pretzels are no more than 3 days old when they arrive at your front door, so we carefully plan our shipping schedule to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
Our soft pretzels are fresh, never frozen, and shipped to you the same day they were baked… that means the pretzels you ordered don’t even exist yet! Don't worry - we promise your pretzels aren't just "sitting around."
Here’s why it sometimes takes a little longer:
Shipping Constraints:
- Orders ship Monday through Thursday via UPS Ground, FedEx Home Delivery, or FedEx 2nd Day Air, depending on your location.
- Pretzels baked on Monday must arrive by Thursday to maintain freshness.
- Orders shipped on Thursday need to arrive by Saturday, but not all carriers deliver on weekends.
- Holidays that fall on a weekday can affect shipping times.
- It's a delicate balance of when you place your order and where you live to determine when your pretzels will be baked and shipped.
Limited Production Capacity: We bake a finite number of boxes each day to guarantee quality and freshness. High demand and logistical constraints can sometimes mean a brief wait before your order is ready to bake and ship.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. Our top priority is ensuring you receive the freshest, highest-quality pretzels possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
If your order hasn’t shipped yet, we’ll do our best to accommodate changes. Email us at csteam@thepretzelcompany.com or whatsup@thepretzelcompany.com as soon as possible with your order number and requested updates.
Tracking emails are sent 24-48 hours before your package ships. If the status says "pending," it means the carrier hasn’t picked up your package yet. Once they do, an accurate delivery timeline will be provided.
While we aim to ship as quickly as possible, specific delivery dates depend on production schedules and carrier timelines. If you have a special request, contact us at csteam@thepretzelcompany.com or whatsup@thepretzelcompany.com and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Our goal is to get pretzels out the door as quickly as possible. Some orders are shipped within hours of being placed, some take 3-4 days, due to production schedules. We make every effort to get our pretzels into people's hands as quickly as possible.
In many cases, our tracking emails come 24-48 hours before your package is actually shipped.
FedEx and UPS may generate "estimated" delivery dates prior receiving to your shipment. Please ignore those dates.
After FedEx or UPS actually picks up your package, the carrier in question will generate an accurate delivery date.

We can't control shipping carriers like FedEx or UPS and we don't know what they did with your box after it left our bakery.
Start by checking with the carrier to confirm delivery details. If they can’t locate the package, email us at csteam@thepretzelcompany.com or whatsup@thepretzelcompany.com, and we’ll make it right with a replacement or refund under our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
