Quick Answers
We ship to all 48 contiguous states via UPS.
Because our pretzels are bakery-fresh + use minimal preservatives, they have a shorter shelf life.
This is why we cannot ship to P.O. boxes, military bases (APO/FPO), PMBs, or international addresses. If we can’t guarantee it arrives fresh, we won't send it.
We ship Monday through Thursday, and it typically takes 5 to 10 business days for orders to reach the front of our queue.
Once the carrier has scanned your package, your tracking will update and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days.
Please keep in mind that this timeline is subject to change due to inclement weather, federal holidays, high order volumes, or carrier delays outside of our control.
Since our pretzels are perishable, we only ship west of the Mississippi River + Southern Florida on Mondays and Tuesdays to ensure they don't sit in a hub over the weekend. If you are in these areas, please anticipate a slightly longer wait for your order to be baked..
Here at The Pretzel Company, we take pride in only sending you the freshest hand-made pretzels.
Everything we bake in a day will leave the doors that same day. We do not have freezers or shelves full of days-old pretzels sitting around waiting to go in a box.
Other "fast pretzel" companies often rely on high-speed mixers, machine twisters/extruders, large batches, and shortcuts.
Pretzels that are made in small batches and hand-twisted have a more complex gluten structure that gives you a more fluffy pretzel and a satisfying chew. Here, we do things the right way, which often takes more time and becomes a difference you can taste.
Yes. We use minimal preservatives (lye) and our pretzels are a fresh bakery product. However, they do not contain sensitive animal products like meat or dairy, which means they are perfectly safe to travel at room temperature.
The Freshness Window A one or two day shipping delay is usually no problem. However, because these are very fresh products, they will eventually spoil if left out too long.
Storage Unbox them immediately. Eat what you want when they arrive and get the rest into the freezer within 24 hours. This locks in the quality for up to 90 days.
1. Thaw & Preheat If frozen, thaw pretzels on the counter for ~30 minutes. Preheat toaster oven, convection oven, or air fryer to 350°F. 2. Place on Baking Sheet Arrange pretzels on a non-stick baking sheet or oven tray.
3. Brush Lightly brush with butter or water until the surface glistens.
4. Salt Sprinkle desired amount of pretzel salt on pretzels before baking. (if using cinnamon sugar, apply after baking.) 5. Bake Bake pretzels for 5–7 minutes until hot to the touch and with a light crisp.
6. Finish & Enjoy For cinnamon sugar: brush with butter, then toss and coat while warm. Let cool briefly, then pair with your favorite The Pretzel Co. dip.

Ordering
Because we are a small-batch bakery, we don't keep "stale" inventory on shelves; every pretzel is baked to order.
Charging at checkout officially enters you into our active production queue. Our bakers work at full speed every day to get through as many orders as possible before the daily carrier truck arrives.
Your upfront payment secures your place in that line and allows us to allocate the fresh ingredients needed to get your batch into the oven.
Coupon codes can only be applied to full-priced items that are not already on sale.
Promotions cannot be stacked; only one may be used per order.
Note: If you receive a coupon code via email after placing an order, it is a thank-you gift for your next purchase and cannot be applied to your most recent order.
Once you place your order, check your confirmation email to ensure your shipping address is perfect.
Your order then joins our queue. It typically takes 5 to 10 business days for your order to reach the front of the queue. Recipients that are further than 1000 miles from us can only have their order shipped on Monday/Tuesday and may wait a bit longer in line.
Once we print your shipping label and organize it with similar orders, you will receive a tracking link via email.
If the link shows no movement for a few days, do not worry. It just means your order is staged and waiting to be fulfilled with fresh pretzels.
To ensure maximum freshness, we bake and ship your order on the very same day. Once the carrier scans your box that evening, you will see the tracking link update.
Once your order arrives, unbox your pretzels, set aside what you want to eat today, and put the rest in the freezer immediately. They will stay fresh for up to 90 days when frozen.
You will receive an email with your tracking link as soon as we print your shipping label. This label acts as our order ticket and places your order in our queue.
When you first click the link, the status will likely show as "pending." This is normal. It means your order is staged and waiting in line for fresh pretzels. Because we bake and ship on the same day, the tracking link will update once the carrier scans your box that evening.
Finding Your Date On the tracking page, click the UPS logo to view the full details and your estimated delivery time.
A Note on UPS Notifications If you receive an automated email from UPS about a "scheduled delivery" before your order has been picked up, please disregard it. Those times are not accurate until the carrier actually has the package in their hands and has scanned it into their system.

Product Information And Handling
Our pretzels arrive individually wrapped in freezer-safe bags with the salt on the side. It is perfectly normal for the box to arrive at room temperature.
We make plant-based bread products with simple ingredients. Because our pretzels do not contain sensitive animal products, they are safe to travel at ambient temperatures. Our dips are also shelf-stable until opened.
Eat what you want when they arrive and put the rest in the freezer within 24 hours. This locks in peak freshness for when you are ready for more.
All of our dips + glazes are shelf stable and do not need to be frozen.
No need to worry about thawing your pretzels—they're ready to heat straight from the freezer. You'll want to heat them for 7-10 until they're piping hot inside.
You can let them thaw on the counter until your oven preheats or for up to an hour, but don't leave them out overnight. This can cause accelerated perishing.
For a quick option, pop them in the microwave on a low power setting for under a minute to gently thaw.
Our facility is nut-free. We do not process peanuts or tree nuts in our bakery.
Our traditional soft pretzels are made with simple ingredients: flour, water, yeast, salt, brown sugar, and non-GMO canola oil. However, our facility does handle the following:
Wheat: Used in all of our pretzels.
Soy: Used in our vanilla glaze.
Dairy: Used in our White Sharp Cheddar Cheese Spread.
Honey: Used in our Sweet Hot Honey Mustard.
Sesame Seeds: used in our everything bagel seasoning
We take careful precautions to prevent cross-contamination, but we cannot guarantee that our products are entirely free from trace amounts of these specific allergens. If you have a severe allergy or specific concerns, please reach out to us directly.
Shipping
You will get a tracking link as soon as your shipping label is printed. We often print labels a few days early for sorting. If the link shows no movement, your order is simply staged and waiting for its turn in the oven.
We bake and ship on the same day. Your tracking will update the same day the pretzels are baked.
Once the package leaves our bakery, it is in the hands of the carrier. They do not notify us of individual delays, so the best first step is to contact UPS directly with your tracking number.
How to read "Delivery Exceptions" If you receive a "Delivery Exception" or "Cancelled" notification, check the tracking timeline. There are usually two reasons for this:
A Label Update: If the timeline only shows "Order Confirmed" and "Shipment Cancelled," it simply means we voided a label to reprint it. Your order is not cancelled and is still moving forward.
A Real Delay: If the package was already moving and then shows an exception, it is a genuine carrier issue like a wrong address or a missed delivery attempt.
Managing Delays Our pretzels are resilient. A one day delay is usually fine. Just check them once they arrive to ensure they are still at their peak.
If a carrier delay causes the pretzels to arrive in poor condition, reach out to csteam@thepretzelcompany.com within 24 hours.
Include your order number, photos of the pretzels, and confirmation of your shipping address. We are committed to making it right.
In many cases, our tracking emails come before your package is actually shipped.
UPS may generate "estimated" delivery dates prior to receiving your shipment. Please ignore those dates.
After UPS actually picks up your package, the carrier in question will generate a more accurate delivery date.
This happens due to the fact we're shipping fresh-baked products. We do not keep extra pretzels on the shelf for the next day or have boxes filled with pretzels waiting around. Everything we bake in a day leaves the doors that same day.
First, it will be okay. We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we are going to make sure you get your pretzels.
While we cannot control the carrier once the box leaves the bakery, we can help you track it down. Please follow these steps:
Check your address: Look at your confirmation email. If there is a typo in the shipping address, email csteam@thepretzelcompany.com with your order number and the correct info.
View the proof: Enter your tracking number on the UPS website. Most carriers now include a proof-of-delivery photo so you can see exactly where the box was left.
Call the carrier: Reach out to the carrier's support line to confirm the delivery details. Often, a driver can clarify if it was left at a side door or with a neighbor.
Our Guarantee If the address is correct and the carrier cannot locate the package, we will step in. Email us at csteam@thepretzelcompany.com and we will make it right with a replacement or a refund.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Our Guarantee We stand by what we bake. If your order is delayed, damaged, or you’re simply not happy, email csteam@thepretzelcompany.com within 24 hours of delivery. We’ll replace it, refund it, or find a way to make it right.
The Logistics Once FedEx or UPS picks up your box, we no longer move the package ourselves—they do. While we can’t control their drivers or the weather, we can control how we take care of you if something goes wrong.
The Vibe We love our customers. Reach out to us with kindness, and we’ll return the favor. Let’s keep it human.
We want you to love what you ordered. Because our pretzels are made with minimal preservatives, they require care. They do not like to sit in a box, and they cannot survive a return shipment.
The 24-Hour Rule If your order arrives damaged, is missing items, or has a freshness issue, tell us within 24 hours of delivery. Email csteam@thepretzelcompany.com with your order number and photos of the issue so we can make it right.
The Storage Rule These pretzels need a home. Unbox them and get them in the freezer the same day they arrive. We cannot offer refunds or replacements if the package sat unopened, as the freshness clock starts ticking the moment the carrier drops the box on your porch.
We bake our pretzels fresh and aim for a tight shipping window. Once they leave our hands, the delivery is up to the carrier.
Perishability and Transit Because our products are perishable, we cannot offer refunds for transit delays alone. Our pretzels are resilient and can typically handle a day or two of extra travel without issue.
The Human Factor We are not robots. If your order arrives damaged or compromised because the carrier failed to deliver on time, and your shipping address was correct, we will make it right.
How to Proceed Check your tracking link first. It usually tells the whole story of the delay. If the pretzels arrive and are visibly unfit to eat, reach out to us. We believe in kindness and fair solutions. Let’s keep it cool, and we will take care of you.
We are located in historic York, Pennsylvania. We are right in the heart of the "Pretzel Belt," which is the historic center of pretzel production in America.
A Deep Tradition Southeastern Pennsylvania is the birthplace of the commercial pretzel industry in the United States. Thanks to the early German immigrants known as the Pennsylvania Dutch, this region became home to the first commercial bakeries. Today, roughly 80% of all pretzels consumed in America still come from this area.
Direct from the Source We ship every order directly from our facility in York, PA. We operate out of this single location to ensure that every pretzel we bake meets our standards before it heads your way.
