- A personal email confirmation will be sent to you when you place your order.
- An additional email with tracking information will be sent to you when your order ships.
No Signature Required
UPS is instructed to leave your package without a signature. If no one is available, UPS will leave the cooler at the recipient’s front door or in a building’s receiving area. There will be enough dry ice to last throughout the arrival day and evening.
If you are shipping to someone else, please notify the recipient in advance of his or her delivery. UPS will not forward packages.
Due to the perishable nature of gelato we cannot accept returns. We guarantee that your gelato will arrive frozen, however we cannot guarantee the exact date and time your gelato will arrive due to the rules of UPS shipping.
Forte is shipped via UPS for afternoon delivery on Tuesday through Friday. Forte can be shipped anywhere in the U.S. (except Alaska and Hawaii and P.O. Boxes). Adjustments will be made for national holidays which effect domestic shipping.
