Products on Harlem Baking Company are handmade by our staff in New York City and ship to select locations in the Northeast United States. 

Due to the nature of what we do here at Harlem Baking Company, our focus will never be on a large operation producing thousands of products to sit in a distribution facility. We make our products fresh directly at our shops and prepare them for shipment. This gives us the ability to guarantee our customers always receive fresh products.

Delivery may vary based on unforseen events such as weather or holidays. This information can all be found at checkout, after you enter your shipping address.

We don't require a signature for delivery on most of our packages. That said, we do recommend opening your package soon after delivery to properly store any items that require refrigeration. Harlem Baking Co. is not responsible for packages reported damaged due to a delay in opening and/or not properly storing the package’s contents upon delivery.

It is at the discretion of the driver to ring the doorbell upon delivery, and due to COVID-19, additional precautions are being taken for the safety of both parties. 

If your order is delivering to an office or communal living space, carriers may deliver the package to your front desk or mailroom. If the driver feels it is safe to leave the package, then they will do so. We are not responsible for missed deliveries, sometimes resulting in a damaged product because no one was home and the driver felt it was unsafe to leave it.

Once your package is in the shipping carrier's hands we have no control over the time they will deliver it. But, the good news is that FedEx gives you the ability to schedule your delivery times for all of your residential packages.

If you know that you are not going to be home and are worried about them not leaving your package at your door, we strongly encourage you to schedule your delivery window directly with FedEx or UPS. Their Delivery Manager platforms are flexible and allow you to schedule the delivery of your package within a short time-frame to ensure you will never miss a package at your home again. Once you receive your tracking email from us letting you know that your package has shipped, go to one of the below links to schedule a delivery time or a pick-up location/time that works for you:

We are currently shipping with a flat rate of $10 for any order amount. Note that this policy may change in the future.

Unfortunately we're not able to ship to P.O. or APO boxes at this time, due to the perishable nature of our products.

Harlem Baking Company ships to residential addresses, businesses, venues, apartment buildings via USPS, UPS or FedEx.
