Shipping & Delivery Policy
Because our cakes and delicate baked goods require temperature control and careful handling during transit, Twinkle Cakery offers local door-to-door delivery across Selangor and Kuala Lumpur via third-party courier services, as well as self-pickup options from our studio. Standard postal shipping is not available for fresh cake orders.

Service Zones: We deliver across major Klang Valley regions, including Kuala Lumpur (KL), Selangor, Petaling Jaya (PJ), Puchong, Sri Petaling, Serdang, Damansara, and Kepong.
Dynamic Delivery Fees: Delivery rates are calculated automatically at checkout based on the distance between our studio and your delivery postcode.
Third-Party Dispatch: All deliveries are fulfilled using third-party on-demand car couriers (e.g., Lalamove). All fragile orders are requested to be dispatched in 4-wheel air-conditioned vehicles.

Cake Transport Guidelines:
- Always place the cake box on a flat, level surface inside a fully air-conditioned car (e.g., on the car floorboard, NOT on a slanted seat or in the trunk).
- Always carry the box from the bottom. Do not carry it by the top handle or push against the sides of the box.
- Twinkle Cakery is not responsible for damage occurring after the cake has been handed over and leaves our premises.
4. Recipient Presence & Failed Deliveries
Delivery Window: Please ensure someone is present at the delivery address during the selected time slot.
Waiting Time: Couriers will contact the recipient upon arrival and will wait for a maximum of 10 minutes.
Failed Deliveries & Redelivery:
- If the recipient is unreachable, unavailable, or the address is incorrect, the cake will be returned to our studio to maintain product safety.
- The customer is responsible for all redelivery charges. Redelivery fees will be recalculated based on real-time courier rates at the time of re-dispatch.
- Original delivery fees are non-refundable for failed delivery attempts resulting from incorrect information or recipient absence.
5. Ingredients & Storage Instructions
Halal-Certified Ingredients: All our products are prepared using 100% Halal-certified ingredients and are strictly 100% pork-free and alcohol-free.
Storage Advice: Refrigerate your cake immediately (2°C - 5°C) upon receiving it. For standard butter-based cakes, leave the cake at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving to soften the cream. Fresh cream cakes should remain chilled until serving.
6. Third-Party Courier Transit & Damage Disclaimer
Third-Party Fulfillment: Deliveries are handled by independent third-party courier services. Once an order is handed over to the courier driver in good condition, transit conditions are beyond our direct control.
No Guarantee for Transit Damage: Due to the extremely fragile nature of cakes and fresh cream decorations, Twinkle Cakery does not guarantee against, accept liability for, or offer refunds/replacements for damage, melting, or structural shifting incurred during third-party transit.
Customer Risk & Recommended Option: By opting for delivery at checkout, you acknowledge and accept the risks associated with third-party cake transportation. If you require absolute perfection and peace of mind for a delicate design, we strongly encourage choosing the Self-Pickup option.
