How to Beat the High Cost of Shipping

I've been talking a bit about how some folks like to lie about FREE shipping to try and convince you that you're getting "a deal." I know you're smarter than that, which is why I've asked you to comparison shop and see who's got the best values.

I'm about to make our competitors very sad, because we've found a few ways to save you a lot of money on shipping.
First, let me direct your attention to our Boston Shipping Discount Coupon. Order any item on our site from Bittersweet Pastries or La Patisserie, and we'll ship it Overnight for $6.95.

Let me say that again: Overnight Shipping, Tuesday through Friday, for $6.95. You'd probably pay more in gas going to the store and buying the cake than you would in shipping costs from us. This discount only applies to items shipped to Greater Boston, including all those suburbs that surround it. But I'll let you, my faithful blog readers, in on a secret: It can actually be used for any part of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, except for really rural sections and the tip of Cape Cod. Sorry, Truro.

Similar discounts will be rolled out next week for the metro-NYC area and the Chicagoland area.

At a time when everything else seems to be getting more expensive, isn't it nice to find something that costs less? As we move into the last quarter of the year, more of the country will be able to enjoy these discounts, so keep your eyes out for more details.

Meanwhile, if you're in need of large amounts of Petits Fours or Tarts, and you're shipping them anywhere in the United States, you can save on that too. Check out our Summer Shipping Savings page for more details.
