ABOUT OUR PRODUCTWhere can I find the ingredient and nutritional information for your products?
Our nutritional information can be found here
How long will my product retain its quality and freshness?
Our products are all natural
which means they do not contain artificial ingredients or
preservatives. Therefore, they should be enjoyed within 2 weeks of
receipt or kept frozen for future consumption. The frozen shelf life of
all of our products is at least 6 months. Unless they are to be
consumed right away, it's always a good idea to store them frozen.
Freezing and thawing (even a few times) will not affect the quality.
Is there a detailed ingredient list for those with allergies?
Our nutritional information can be found here. Contact us at orders@silverlandbakery.com for per flavor allergen statements.
Do your products contain nuts?
Currently, we are
using peanuts and tree nuts in some of our treats. We take measures to
ensure that there is no cross contamination of ingredients; however
given the presence of nuts in our bakery there is always a chance that
nut-free products could come into contact with nuts and/or their
by-products. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do
not hesitate to call or e-mail a Customer Service Representative at
orders@silverlandbakery.com or 708-488-0800

Do you ship to P.O. Boxes?
Yes! We ship to P.O. boxes via the US Post Office, but there is a $5.00 extra charge.
Which days do you ship and deliver?
Please see our Shipping Policy.
What time of the day will my package arrive?
UPS will deliver
from 9:00 AM until 8:00 PM. Typically they will deliver to businesses
first, and then to residential addresses.
Does UPS require a signature for delivery?
Residential
addresses typically do not require a signature. HOWEVER, if there is no
one there to accept the package, and the UPS driver does not feel
comfortable leaving it for any reason, s/he is not required to leave the
package. UPS will make three delivery attempts before returning the
package to Athena’s Silverland Desserts. UPS will leave a note on the
door following each delivery attempt. Business addresses do require a
signature, but not necessarily from the recipient whose name is on the
box. Anyone in the building is able to sign for the package.
Can I specify an exact arrival date?
Yes! The web site
will ask for you to do just that. Athena’s Silverland Desserts will
ensure that your goodies are baked and shipped in time to arrive by your
chosen date.
Where do you ship from?
Our bakery is located in Forest Park, Illinois, just outside Chicago.
How do I track my package?
Simply sign into
your customer account and click on "Check on my order status/history"
then click on "Track Order". If you need assistance, email our Customer
Service Team at orders@silverlandbakery.com

internet, do not hesitate to call or e-mail us - have your order number
ready and we'll track your package for you!
PLACING AN ORDER
How far in advance can I place my order?
As early as you'd
like! We will always accept early orders. We'll be sure not to bake your
order or charge your credit card until just before the scheduled
arrival date - that way, your goodies will arrive fresh!
If I place my order today will it arrive by tomorrow?
For Same Day
Shipping, call a Customer Service representative at 708-488-0800 before
12pm CST to place your order. This does not mean, however, that your
order will arrive that day. See our Shipping Policy for information on
UPS transit times. ALL packages traveling outside the Midwest, MUST ship
UPS Next Day Air in order for the goodies to arrive the following
business day.
Can I fax my order to you or send it via e-mail?
Of course! We try
to make the ordering process as simple as possible. If you feel more
comfortable faxing or e-mailing an order, you can FAX all order
information to 708-488-0894 or orders@silverlandbakery.com.
