πŸͺ Our Alfajores & Ingredients 4 FAQs
πŸ‡¦πŸ‡· Are your alfajores made with an authentic Argentine recipe?

Yes, 100%! We are a passionate Argentinian family baking right here in the US. We carefully selected the most iconic, time-honored recipes from different provinces across Argentina.

From our melt-in-your-mouth Maicena cookies to our rich dark chocolate dulce de leche alfajores, every cookie delivers the heart and soul of authentic Argentine pastry tradition right to your doorstep.

🌾 Do your products contain allergens?

Our kitchen uses wheat flour (gluten), milk/dairy (dulce de leche & butter), eggs, and nuts (walnuts, almonds, and coconuts) depending on the recipe.

If you have specific dietary restrictions or allergies, please visit our dedicated Our Flavors page to review the complete nutritional profiles and detailed ingredient lists for each cookie.

🏬 Where are the alfajores produced?

We handcraft, bake, and ship our products fresh from Raleigh, North Carolina. Every batch is freshly prepared with premium ingredients and no artificial preservatives, ensuring you receive peak freshness.

πŸ“¦ How many units are included in each box?

We offer standard curated gift boxes with 6 or 12 units (such as the Tango Box and Tour Box).

For custom build-your-own boxes, each box contains 6 artisanal alfajores of your choice, each weighing a hearty 80 grams (~2.8 oz).

🚚 Shipping & Nationwide Delivery 5 FAQs
⏱️ When will I receive my order?

Orders are freshly baked and fulfilled within 1–2 business days. We ship nationwide via USPS Tracked Services:

  • USPS Ground Advantage: 4–6 business days after shipping.
  • USPS Priority Mail: 2–3 business days after shipping.

*Note: Orders placed over the weekend or on holidays ship on the next business day (USPS is closed on Sundays).

πŸ”Ž How can I track my order?

The moment your fresh box leaves our bakery, you’ll receive an automatic email notification containing your USPS tracking number and link.

If you didn’t receive your tracking email or made a typo during checkout, simply contact us at help@cookiesofbaires.com with your name and order details, and we’ll send it right away.

πŸ“… Can I schedule my shipping for a future date?

Yes, absolutely! Because all our products are artisanal and baked fresh without preservatives, we never hold pre-baked boxes in storage.

If you’d like your order to arrive around a specific celebration or birthday, please email us before placing your order so we can align our baking schedule and shipping date with your calendar.

πŸ›‘οΈ Could the alfajores get damaged during transit?

We take packaging very seriously. We have designed custom heavy-duty, protective gift boxes specifically tailored to cushion these delicate cookies throughout the USPS delivery network.

In the rare event that carrier mishandling causes damage, take a clear photo of the packaging and contents and send it to help@cookiesofbaires.com β€” we will gladly make it right.

✈️ Do you ship internationally?

Currently, we exclusively ship within the United States (including all 50 states). We hope to expand to international deliveries in the future!

πŸ“ Local Pickup & Corporate Gifts 3 FAQs
πŸ“ If I select Local Pickup, where are you located?

We are conveniently located in the Crossroads area (Raleigh/Cary, NC). The full pickup address will be provided in your confirmation email.

If you include your mobile phone number during checkout, we will also send you a friendly text message the moment your order is freshly packed and ready for pickup.

🏷️ Can I buy individual alfajores without gift boxes?

Not through standard website delivery. Loose alfajores are exclusively available for local pickup by contacting us in advance.

For shipped orders, our rigid custom boxes are required to guarantee that your alfajores arrive intact, fresh, and beautiful.

🎁 Do you prepare Corporate & Enterprise gifts?

Yes, corporate gifting is one of our specialties! We partner with companies, real estate agencies, and event planners across the country.

Every enterprise order includes complimentary custom postcards with your company logo and personalized message. Visit our Corporate Gifting Page or email us at enterprise@cookiesofbaires.com for volume quotes and custom branding.

πŸ”„ Returns, Refunds & Discounts 3 FAQs
πŸ“‹ What is your return policy?

Because our alfajores are perishable bakery products, FDA health regulations do not allow unauthorized returns once the food packaging has left our facility.

However, your satisfaction is our priority. If an item arrives incorrect or damaged, please reach out to us at help@cookiesofbaires.com within 14 days of receipt, and our team will review your case to ensure you receive a swift resolution. For full details, see our Terms & Conditions.

πŸ’¬ How do I request a refund or replacement?

We stand behind the quality of every box we bake! If you experience any problem with your order, simply send an email to help@cookiesofbaires.com including:

  • Your Order Number
  • A brief note explaining what occurred
  • Photos of the package/cookies if damaged during transit

Our customer care team typically reviews and resolves all inquiries within 24 business hours.
