Be careful if having dipped cookies shipped via ground

March 22nd, 2009

It is getting that time of the year when you might want to consider having your custom dipped fortune cookies shipped either overnight or 2 day air.  With the warmer weather upon us the chances of the cookies showing up melted is increasing.

If you do choose the ground shipping just make sure you follow them when you get the tracking number, and make sure you have someone at home to sign for them.  We have companies that order dipped fortune cookies from us year round and don’t have any problems having them shipped ground.

Just a heads up! Lets remember that we are dealing with chocolate and it will melt!  Thanks all and please take the time to comment on our posts and visit our website here.

New font and it is snazzy looking!

March 18th, 2009

Last night I received a custom fortune cookie order from Judy R. who lives in Texas and she requested a font that I love.  It’s actually a pretty common font, I think, and it comes standard with Microsoft Windows.  The font name is Maiandra.  You  can see how her fortunes turned out by clicking the link below. www.tankinz.com/cfortunemasterjudyrfront.jpg

What I like most about this font how clean it is yet fun!  You could actually use it for any occasion, Judy used if for a wedding, but it could really be used for businesses as well.  One of the great things about ordering custom fortune cookies from www.tankinz.com is that you get to choose your font. This allows you to fully customize your messages for your event and make the event extra special for your guests.  Often times customers like to use upscale looking fonts for weddings and businesses like to stick with something that is easier to read.  The most common font we use is Arial, it’s clean and easy to read.  Even in a smaller typeset it is easily readable.

So there you are!  Thanks Judy R. from Texas for adding to our comprehensive font database.  You can see samples of all of our fonts by visiting our sample fortune pages which can be found on our home page. Thanks for visiting both our website and blog, please feel free to contact us with any questions.  For custom fortune cookies visit our site at www.tankinz.com or email any questions to us at customerservice@tankinz.com.  Thanks!

How long till I get my order?

March 17th, 2009

This is one of the most common questions I get. Once the order is placed when can I expect it?  One of the advantages you have with ordering custom fortune cookies from www.tankinz.com is that we do everything in house.  From the typesetting and printing of the messages all the way to individually wrapping the cookies. 

From the time you recieve your confirmation email we can usually have most orders ready to ship in 2 business days. So if you were to place your order on Tuesday, your cookies would be ready to ship by Thursday. Now there are a few things that could hold this up. If you are using a logo on your messages it may take some extra time to get that setup, or if you are ordering dipped cookies there may be an extra day needed, but for the most part we can have your cookies ready to ship within 2 business days of receiving the order.

Once your cookies have shipped the transit time really depends on where they are being shipped to.  As long as your cookies are being shipped to the US they will most likely arrive via FedEx. We are located in Salt Lake City, Utah. For the most part ground shipping takes anywhere from 2-5 business days.  FedEx shipping days are considered Monday-Friday, so you cannot count the weekends (friday and saturday) as transit days.  Below is a small chart of the average shipping days needed. Check your region to get a better idea

WEST COAST (California, Idaho, Nevada, etc..) - 2 Business Days via ground

MIDWEST (Texas, Nebraska, Kansas) - 3 Business Days via ground

SOUTH (Tennesee, Georgia, Oklahoma) - 4 Business Days via ground

EAST COAST (New York, PA, MA) - 5 Business Days via ground

Everything going to FL usually takes 5-6 Business Days via ground

On the order form it will ask you when you want to receive your cookies. Make sure you fill in the date there, if at the time of shipping we don’t think the shipping service you chose will make it in time, we will contact you to give you some other options.  ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GIVE YOURSELF AT 2 DAYS BEFORE YOU USE THE COOKIES AS YOUR ARRIVAL DATE!  Don’t have the cookies set to arrive the same day you plan on using them.  We also usually try to ship the cookies a day or early if we can, FedEx is very good at delivering what they promise, however; problems can occur. So give yourself a fews just in case.

If you are unsure about what shipping method to use please call us (801) 485-0951 or email us customerservice@tankinz and we will make sure the cookies get to you in time. When you check out in your shopping cart it is going to ask you which shipping method you want to use, it will also give you the price of each method.  Other than ground you can ship via 2 Day Air or Overnight.

Hope this helps, all of us here at www.tankinz.comlook forward to providing your with the worlds best cusotm fortune cookies!

We now can dip in yellow and green chocolate!

March 17th, 2009

I got a phone call the other day from a company wanting to dip their custom fortune cookies in  a variety of colors.  While it is quite the task to temper all the colors it was well worth it, they turned out great!  At www.tankinz.com they not only make custom fortune cookies, but can also dip in pretty much any color of chocolate!
