Frequently Asked Questions
-
Made fresh to order, never pre-packaged stock. We don't keep generic inventory on a shelf. After your order is confirmed, each batch is spun, color-matched to your brand, sealed in individual bags, and shipped. Because every order is custom-produced, plan around our production lead times rather than expecting same-day stock.
-
Sometimes, depending on our current production schedule and your order size. Our standard process is made to order with lead times, but if you're in a rush, email or call us and we'll see what we can do. Local pickup at our Norwalk facility is usually the fastest route, and smaller orders are often the most doable on short notice. Orders confirmed before our 5:30 PM UPS cutoff can ship the same day, with next-day ground delivery to most Southern California addresses. Reach out and we'll give you a straight answer on timing.
-
Production lead times depend on order volume: 5 days for orders up to 250 units, 7 days for 300–999 units, and 10 days for 1,000+ units. Production lead time begins after order confirmation and design approval. Add shipping time based on your needs, we can confirm!
-
Rush pricing depends on order complexity, urgency window, and current production schedule.
-
Cotton candy and popcorn must be kept in a cool, dry location out of the sun, and should be consumed within 7-10 days of receipt. After 7-10 days, cotton candy may start to compact if exposed to humidity, and popcorn loses its crunch, though both remain edible up to 60 days from delivery.
-
Due to the sensitive nature of cotton candy, and our fresh-to-order business model, we focus mainly on shipping to the United States, and Canada. Please reach out to us so we can discuss shipments to your particular location.
-
For custom orders of cotton candy and popcorn, full payment must be made before production of your order begins. For corporate accounts and existing clients, NET 30 terms are available. Payments accepted: ACH, wire, check, or major credit card.
-
Yes, that's what we do! Cotton candy and popcorn are color-matched to your brand standards, custom-printed labels are produced in-house, and flavors are blended to your specification. Packaging options include sealed bags (1 oz, 1.5 oz, larger), custom shapes, on-a-stick wands, gift boxes, and eco-friendly formats. For full format range, see our shop.
-
