4.      CAN I PERSONALIZE THE “CLASSIC” SIZED COOKIES TOO?


Yes, With a minimum of 100 cookies, you can have a personalized message. (Printing Fees Apply). The Imprint Area is 3 lines of 36 characters per line including spaces. We can accept logos and print on both sides as well! The ink color for the classic fortunes is in black only. Please call a Cookie Counselor for details at 1-800-644-9474.

 

5.      CAN I GET CUSTOM CELLOPHANE FOR MY COOKIES?


Yes, we offer custom imprinted cellophane for the “Classic” Sized Fortune Cookies, Dipped & Decorated Oreo Cookies & the Edible Picture Cookies (Grahams & Oreos.) 1 color to 4 color process is available. Call for details.

 

6.      HOW DO I GET MY PICTURE AND WORDING ON AN EDIBLE PICTURE COOKIE?


Easy! All you have to do is e-mail us the artwork in a JPG or EPS Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop file format. And if that’s not available, send us the picture and we’ll scan it for you at no charge! Additionally, tell us what you want it to say.  (Example: Steve’s 40th Birthday!) Email your artwork to
art@goodfortunes.com

 

7.      HOW DO THE EDIBLE PICTURE COOKIES TASTE?


These gorgeous cookies are wonderfully delicious! The inks are made out of food coloring and the paper is made out of sugar and other ingredients. The edible paper is virtually tasteless, but the end result is absolutely fabulous!!

 

8.      HOW DO I STORE MY COOKIES AND WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE?


All Good Fortunes cookies are just fine at a room temperature that is between 65 –72 degrees. When you receive your cookies, take out the ice pack (if there is one) and place your box of cookies away from direct sunlight and animals. Your cookies, kept in the original packaging, will be fresh for up to 3 months. DO NOT PLACE YOUR COOKIES IN THE REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER!!! There is too much humidity for the chocolate and it will either discolor the chocolate or make the chocolate wet and sticky.


P.S. Your Ice Pack(s) are reusable. Place your ice pack(s) in the freezer so if you need to transport your cookies later, you can do so. Also great for your picnic cooler. The ultimate in recycling!

Yes, if you order before 2PM EST we can absolutely get your package out. **This policy can change during our busiest holidays.

 

8.     DOES GOOD FORTUNES SHIP TO INTERNATIONAL LOCATIONS?

We would love to accommodate international shipments, however food products tend to get caught up in customs and we have no control over weather or any other shipping conditions. So the answer is… un-“fortune”-ately, no.


9. DOES GOOD FORTUNES SHIP TO PO BOXES, FPO OR APO ADDRESSES?

Yes, and no.  We cannot ship to a PO Box because we ship via UPS and they need a street address.  Because we are proud of our service personnel overseas, s
hipments to an APO/FPO address can be sent, but it will go via USPS and cannot be guaranteed to arrive by a specific date and may take up to 14 business days to be delivered.  Please call a Cookie Counselor at 800-644-9474 to place an order to ship to an APO or FPO. 

 

10. WHAT IF MY PACKAGE DOESN’T ARRIVE WHEN IT’S SUPPOSED TO?

We strive for 100% delivery… and we usually deliver!!  However, sometimes a package is not delivered on time because of weather delays or acts of God and in that case we will not offer a refund.  Additionally, if we are given a bad address or there is an address correction, there is an $11.00 charge added to your invoice. (That’s what we are charged from UPS.)  If your package just doesn’t show up for any reason at all… call us and we’ll take care of you!
