Damage Claim Policy
We at Lady Fortunes Gourmet Cookie Company have over a decade of experience in providing the greatest care in shipping our gourmet gifts. We ship our packages to withstand the rigors of transit. Despite our best efforts, damage sometimes happens. And when it does, it is frustrating- but we can help. We strongly recommend that favors and items used for a specific event are order for delivery in advance of the actual in hands date. That way, we can take measures to help correct lost or damaged packages while we file a claim with the carrier. We ship via UPS- and have great faith in their service-before and after delivery. If your package has been damaged, we will take all the necessary steps to ensure swift and effective resolution of your damaged package.
Damage Claim Procedure
INSPECT YOUR PACKAGE
When you receive your shipment, it is very important to inspect your package for any sign of damage. Crushed or indented boxes may be a sign that your product has been damaged inside the box.
REPORT THE DAMAGE
Our carrier requires that all visible damage is reported within 24 hours of receipt. Visible damage includes dents, crushed corners to your outer shipping carton. Concealed damage must be reported within 48 hours. Concealed damage includes any damage/breakage sustained by product within your shipping carton. You may report the damage to the driver upon delivery; if that option is not available, please contact our offices to start the Claim Process. Lady Fortunes cannot reimburse anyone on damage goods that have not followed our Claim Procedure.
ALL CLAIMS MUST BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING TO: [email protected]

Please make sure to include the following information in your claim:
*Your Name & Address
*Your Order# or PO#
*Your daytime phone number so we can reach you.

Here are the steps we take in packing and shipping your product!
1. We Choose the Right Inner Carton
Here are our Case Sizes:
We determine which inner cartons to pack in depending on the product and quantity.
We strongly recommend shipping International packages to a domestic address and forwarding on to their final International destination.
On Corporate Orders, we ship Internationals on a limited basis and require an International Shipment Waiver to be signed prior to the shipment releasing us of liability for any transit delays or loss in transit. We also reserve the right to bull for any additional charges billed to us at a later time by carrier- that later time is indefinite according to UPS and FedEx, as they reserve the right to bill at anytime.
We assess a $25.00 Commercial Invoice fee in addition to the shipping & handling charges. We prepare documentation and paperwork for all of our International Shipments.
Once a package leaves our facility, we have very little control on delivery to International locations.
