FAQ

Shipping🚚

What is Ship Protect Insurance?

Our shipping department packs each order with great care, but occasionally there are problems in transport. The Ship Protect service is available at checkout and offers insurance against damaged, lost or stolen packages. If you choose to use this insurance we can reship or refund your order. For damaged items, you must contact us within 3 days of receipt. In case of damaged product, please be sure to take pictures you can send to us to t save the box in case the carrier requests to pick it up. If you choose not to accept the insurance, we cannot be responsible for shipping carrier issues.

When Will My Order Be Shipped?

Most orders ship within 48 hours of us receiving them if the order is received by 12:30 EST. Orders after that time are considered the next day. If the order will take much longer than that, we will contact you. During the winter months, we ship Monday-Friday. During the summer months, we tend to not ship orders on Thursdays and Fridays if they contain products that may melt.

When Will My Order Arrive?

When your order arrives depends on how you choose to have it shipped:

  • USPS Priority Mail - 2-3 Days, most places in the U.S.
  • FedEx Home Delivery - 1-7 days (excluding weekends). The further West, the longer the delivery time.

Please note:

  1. These travel days do not include our processing time (24-48 hours).
  2. The number of days listed is Business Days (not including Nights/Weekends).

    If you need your product to arrive by a certain date, please let us know so we can help you find the best shipping.

How Much Does Shipping Cost?

Shipping costs vary depending on your location, the shipping service you choose (FedEx, USPS, etc.), and the weight of your product. Our shopping cart will give you all of your shipping options as part of the checkout process before you input your payment information.

Why is Shipping So Expensive? What About Free Shipping?

We know that shipping costs are expensive and are working with our shipping partners to get breaks for you wherever we can.

We usually do not offer free shipping because we would rather charge you a fair price for your candy and shipping than mark up candy so high that it covers the cost of shipping. We do occasionally offer shipping specials, free shipping on specific items, or free shipping with minimum purchase. Free shipping is only offered for orders in the 48 contiguous states in the United States. Shipping times and carrier will be at our discretion for free shipping products/orders.

What About Orders Outside of the United States?

We do ship outside of the United States, however please note the following conditions:

  • Our quoted shipping costs are for the carrier rates alone and do not include customs or additional in-country taxes. We cannot be held responsible for those fees.
  • For orders outside of the U.S. or Canada, we only accept wire transfer payments.

Some Items Say That They Make Break During Shipping and That We're Not Responsible. What's Up With That?

We pack our orders very carefully, but there are some items that may experience breakage along the way. However, you should only expect a small amount of breakage. If a significant portion of your order arrives broken, please contact us immediately.

How Do I Track My Order

When your order is shipped, you will receive an email that contains the shipping information/ tracking.

I Need My Candy For a Special Event, How Far in Advance Should I Order It?

We recommend that you order as early as possible to avoid any out of stock or shipping issues. Most items that we carry have a shelf life of at least six months and will do fine if left in a controlled (air conditioned) environment. Just keep them away from your candy loving friends!

Can I Ship My Order to a Different Address from My Billing Address?

Yes you can. However, for any orders over $100 that have separate billing and shipping and are paid with a credit card, we will ask for proof that you are the cardholder. We require this to protect both you and us from credit card fraud. If paid with PayPal, the shipping address will have to be verified by PayPal.

Popcorn🍿

How Much is a Serving of Popcorn?

Officially, a serving of popcorn is one cup, but we know that’s just not enough for most people. We find that for events it’s best to estimate about 2 cups per person.

How Much Popcorn is in Your Bags?

Our popcorn is available online in 4 sizes.

  • Munch bag – Approx 4 cups
  • Gift Bag - Approx 7 cups
  • Share Bag - Approx 13 cups
  • Party Bag - Approx 25 cups

How Much Popcorn Should I Have At My Event?

That depends. If you’re just having popcorn/a popcorn bar, then you should aim for 2 cups a person. If you’re having other dessert items, you can probably cut that down a bit. Of course, a lot will depend on the size of the bag you use. For instance, a typical 1 oz. popcorn bag will hold about 2.5 cups of popcorn.

As an example, if you were having a popcorn bar for 100 people, you would need about 200 cups of popcorn which would be about 8 party bags.

Why Do You Sell in Cups and Not Ounces Or Pounds?

We sell our popcorn based on volume (cups) instead of weight (oz.) because it’s easier to get an idea of how much popcorn you’re getting. For example, 5 cups of caramel corn weights approx. 8 oz. compared to 5 cups of cheddar cheese popcorn which weighs approx. 2.5 oz.

What Kind of Oil Do You Use For Your Popcorn?

Most of our popcorn is popped in 100% coconut oil. For specific ingredients and nutritional information, please check our listing for those flavor(s).

What Makes Your Popcorn So Good?

We pop our gourmet flavors in small batches and take great care in making sure that they are flavorful and fresh. We experiment often to find the best combination of ingredients to ensure your taste buds are completely satisfied with the end result.

How Long Will the Popcorn Last?

If left sealed in the bag we send it in, your popcorn should last several months. Once it’s open and exposed to the air, and more importantly, humidity, it can soften up quickly. For that reason, if you’re putting your popcorn out for an event, we suggest you do so as late as possible.

Of course, if it’s not for an event and you’re just purchasing for pleasure eating, it probably won’t take you to long to eat anyway.

Are There Allergens in Your Popcorn?

All of our popcorn is produced on shared equipment which may be used to process peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk and soy.

Will You Do Custom Mixes And/Or Flavors?

Sure. Just contact us and if we can do it, we will!

Can You Do Fundraising For Our School Or Organization?

Absolutely! Please contact and we can talk about it.

General/Other🍭

Do You Have a Retail Location Where I Can Shop?

Yes! Our lovely store is located at 235 N Jog Road in West Palm Beach, FL and smells of freshly popped popcorn. If you think you'll need us to help you pick out a bunch of candy for a buffet, it's best that you contact us first as the place can get busy.

If you're lucky enough to be in a state that we visit for a fair, you can see the "World's Largest Traveling Candy Store" in person. Check out our Fairs page for the complete list.

Our store and customer service team are available Monday-Friday, 9:00-6:00 EST. and Saturdays 10:00- 4:00 EST.
