Questions We Often Answer > Shipping > Do you ship bread and / or other products?

Yes, but ...      Shipping a perishable product is tricky business and, frankly, it is not really business we're looking for or excited about.  However, at the request of some very good customers who have moved away from the Burgh, we have made some arrangements for shipping.  We have a UPS Store next to us at our Wexford bakery.  At your request we will package product at no charge, walk it over to the UPS Store, and have them send it on its way.  We then charge you for the product and whatever UPS charges us for the shipping.  We don't do a large volume of this so we get no special rates with UPS.  We pay the same rates you would pay if you walked into one of their stores. 

We have found that shipping a package ten pounds or under, using UPS ground, within a 500 mile radius of Pittsburgh costs about $15.00 and will arrive no later than Friday if we ship it on Monday or Tuesday.   We won't ship later than Tuesday because, if it isn't delivered by Friday, it will sit in a UPS warehouse over the weekend since they don't deliver on weekends. 

Most of our loaves weigh two pounds each, granola weighs 1 1/4 pound, and cookies weigh 1/4 pound each.  You can do the math on what you'd like to have us ship but the main point is that the shipping cost will be the same for one pound or ten pounds.  The cost goes up after ten pounds but on a graduated scale;  it doesn't jump in ten pound increments.

If you'd like us to ship something for you, please call our Wexford Bakery at 724 935-2333.  Please do not call at lunchtime since we will be too busy to help you with this type of order.   Calling between 9:00 and 11:00 AM would be best.  When you call, we will be able to advise you on which products are available for shipping and which are not.  Pies for instance, would not be pretty upon arrival.  After talking about it, we will be happy to take your order, your address, and your credit card number and then get some goodies headed your way.

Whew!  Sorry about all that.  I hope it makes sense.
