Order processing times and delivery options
We deliver your orders throughout Switzerland (and Liechtenstein, excluding Büsingen, Campione d'Italia, Samnaun or any place requiring a special tariff or documents). Deliveries are made by Swiss Post, without a signature, except in special cases such as payment by Swissbilling or if the value of the parcel is high. Special requests (leaving the parcel with a neighbour, in the garage, etc.) must be communicated to your postman or your post office.
We prepare shipments from Monday to Friday. Orders preparation takes usually 1 or 2 day. Delivery times may vary around public holidays, depending on the availability of the Post Office or when special times are announced for the Genevacakes shop.
Once your order has been finalised, you will receive an automatic confirmation email (if you do not receive it, check the spam or spelling of the email you have entered). Once your payment has been confirmed (for the bank transfer option), you will receive a notification email and we will start preparing your parcel.
Please note that some made-to-measure products (printing, glitter names, etc.) may take longer to prepare. These are detailed in the product description. The weight is automatically calculated. On the site, the weight per order (for delivery by post) is limited to 29.9 kilos. Some products have an overestimated weight to represent their bulk.
If the parcel is small, the Post Office sometimes places it in the letterbox/milkbox. Some products (food printing, glitter name, etc.) are sent by A Mail in a cardboard envelope if they are ordered on their own (in this case, postage costs automatically amount to CHF 3.50). When your order is dispatched, you will receive an email confirming dispatch and, if applicable, a tracking number (which you can check the same evening).
Postage rates depend on the weight of the parcel. You will find below the prices for ECO or PRIO shipping according to weight:
New package prices 2024, end of the single tariff :-(
VAT 8.1% PRIO ECO
0-2 kg 9.50 7.50
2-10 kg 12.50 10.50
10-29.90 kg 21.50 19.50
This amount is confirmed in your basket before your order is submitted. Delivery is free from 150 CHF (please note: the value of your order will decrease when redeeming loyalty points).
You can select your delivery method when finalising your order in your basket. Your chosen method will also be specified in your confirmation email.
