Shipping Policy

We ship from Northern Chicagoland using UPS for their reliability and discounted rates—we only charge what we pay, usually 40–50% less than standard pricing.

Shipping Schedule:

We ship Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday only.

Orders placed before 11 AM CST on a shipping day will go out same day.

Orders placed after 11 AM CST on Wednesday will ship the following Monday.

We do this to ensure your sweet treats don’t sit in a warehouse over the weekend. For nearby areas like Chicagoland, Southern Wisconsin, Eastern Iowa, Southern Michigan, and Eastern Indiana, standard UPS Ground often arrives next business day—no need to pay for expedited shipping.

We’ll always prioritize freshness over speed to make sure your treats arrive in perfect condition..

• East Coast (with the exception of Maine, Rhode Island, and Vermont): Mondays through Wednesdays (arrives in 3 days from ship date);
• Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont: Mondays and Tuesdays (arrives in 3 – 4 days from ship date);
• West Coast, Arizona, Utah, Washington State, Idaho, Dakotas, Nevada, and the western part of Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, and Texas: Mondays and Tuesdays (arrives in 4 days from ship date);
• Local Chicagoland: Monday – Thursday (arrives next business day); and
• Midwest: Monday – Thursday

It's important that our Hungry Monkey treats arrive with as much freshness & love with which they were prepared & packaged. With this in mind, please understand that some things are beyond our control, such as natural disasters.

Yes, we can bring the Hungry Monkey Bakery straight to your home with nationwide (Continental US) shipping!

Sadly, we are unable to ship to Canada at this time.

Hungry Monkey is not certified Gluten-free; however, our Chocolate Chip Macaroons are made without gluten though they are made in a kitchen where there is the presence of gluten. Therefore, these are generally okay for people on gluten-free or low-gluten diets, but they are not okay for individuals with celiac disease.

We strive to use only the finest ingredients, good for you and the environment, and we do not add preservatives. We use cage-free eggs, non-GMO canola oil, and cane sugar, never beet sugar (approximately 90% of US beets have been genetically modified).

Head on over to our nutritional page to check out the ingredients and nutritional value of all our ''crazy-good'' sweet treats.

To maintain optimum freshness, we recommend you store your Hungry Monkey in the refrigerator (up to 7 days) or freeze them (in their original wrapping or tightly wrapped…air is the enemy) for up to 6 months. Our products freeze beautifully so do not be afraid to freeze them!

Our products are made in a commercial kitchen in the northern suburbs of Chicago. We do not have a storefront, but you can find us at these Chicagoland locations

While extremely rare, we may have to make substitutions for an item at an equal or greater value.
