Today marks the culmination of almost a year's worth of development for us here at 1-800-Bakery.com, as we unveil the biggest public-facing part of our newly enhanced site. Pick a product, any product, and take a look at the calendar at the bottom of the page. Not only will it tell you when things will arrive, it will allow you to compare shipping methods and pick the delivery service that offers you the best price.
The new calendar also allows us to bring back Monday delivery, this time with a much larger group of products than were previously available. It also allows us the flexibility to introduce seasonal items earlier and keep them available on the site longer. Plus, it explains why certain shipping options aren't available for certain days of the week, and automatically blacks out days when there's no shipping.
It may look simple, but as you can see, it does a lot, and it's been a lot of work getting it to do all the things it needs to do. We think it's the best calendar-based ordering system online, and we'd love to know your thoughts. Love it? Hate it? Leave me a comment.
Over the next two weeks, we'll be rolling out additional enhancements. Some of them you'll see, some of them will just work quietly in the background to make life easier for our Bakery Partners. As with any site enhancements, there may be the odd moment of downtime or something that doesn't quite work the way it should. If you experience any problems with our new site, please call us at 1-800-287-9870, and we'll resolve them as quickly as we can.
