WE SHIP NATIONWIDE-US ONLY! Our gourmet biscuits are baked fresh, packaged and shipped frozen. USPS Priority Mail or FedEx Ground are our preferred carriers for all shipments from Mama Biscuit’s Gourmet Biscuits®. Orders received before Thursday 12 pm EST will shipped the following Monday or Tuesday (depending on holiday shipping schedule).

The team at Mama Biscuit has done much research and prides itself on keeping the cost of shipping perishables at a minimum. For the consumer we want you to have the best shipping options without comprising the product. *Please note if you need your order delivered by Tuesday, we will be happy to accommodate you. Please call our special number to discuss your options 202-350-3448. Additional shipping fees will apply for any next day shipping request.
Currently Mama Biscuit uses UPS and USPS Priority Mail. Shipment speeds depend on the options and destinations specified for shipping. A tracking number is emailed to the buyer once the package is ready to ship. A special shipping and handling charge applies to all shipped gourmet biscuit orders. Shipping costs will be calculated once items are placed in the cart and the “ship to” address is specified. During the warmer months we ask for food safety reasons we ask that someone be there to retrieve your gourmet goodies and refrigerate upon receipt. In the event someone is not there your package will be left. Any special shipping instructions should be included in the message section at check-out.
Your products should be frozen, partially frozen, cool to the touch or thawed when you open the package. Packages may contain partially-dissipated or thawed gel packs. It's ok. This is common in the shipping process. Biscuits are fully baked and will thaw in transit. You can expect your biscuits to arrive fresh and fully thawed. Thawed biscuits can be re-frozen. Each order is very carefully packed and individually bagged and sealed for freshness and protection. The biscuits are placed into a corrugated box for their protection along with instructions on how to serve your gourmet goodies. Once your biscuits arrive, please keep them in the cello bags, and refrigerated/frozen until serving day. These bags do a great job of keeping our gourmet biscuits fresh and free of moisture. Mama Biscuit provides suggested reheating instructions with our perishable products. Prior to serving, remove the biscuits from the individual bags and enjoy. It is the responsibility of the consumer to follow all health and safety guidelines when thawing and handling products. Please see re-heating instructions below:
Biscuits are best served at room temperature or warmed,and can be thawed first.
Microwave for 15-30 seconds (according to watt variations) and serve.
- We do not recommend storing longer than 7 days in the refrigerator.
- Biscuits can be frozen up to 4 months, but fully cooked biscuits should only be thawed and re-frozen once.
For health and safety reasons please reheat to an internal temperature of 165°F.
