I found this website last year while shopping for a birthday present for my father. My father's answer to what he wants for his birthday is the same every year, "Nothing. I already have it, had it, or don't want it." Definitely and accurate statement but doesn't help me pick a present very well. He lives in another state so I started thinking about something I could have shipped, and that very day was born my decision to order cookies!

I spent a good afternoon looking though many websites trying to find a reasonably priced gift packages with cookie flavors that I wanted which would be delivered in the time that I needed and was a secure and reputable website. It took me awhile before I felt confident and settled on Cheryl & Co.

I chose a self-picked assortment of individually wrapped cookies in a musical birthday tin with special message, the shipping was free. I ordered on a Saturday and it was delivered on a Tuesday which was quicker than expected. I received emails confirming my order and included a tracking number.

My father was pleased with the cookies. Unfortunately I wasn't able to taste the cookies but he said they were good. The cookies are individually wrapped but do not have preservatives so the extras went into the freezer.

Since the company is based in Ohio the closer the recipient lives to Ohio the faster and fresher your cookies will be. Air delivery is recommended for states west of the Mississippi, the northeast and the state of Florida.

Viewing the Website
I am very impressed with the presentation of this website. The pages are very easy to navigate though and shopping is organized nicely by theme. Some themes that are presented are: Valentines, birthdays, new home, new baby, get well, thank you, business, and many more. The tins and baskets are presented nicely with a large detailed photo with just the name and price below each picture. Clicking the photo takes you directly to the order from which is compact and simple to understand.

Where the Deals Are
There is a nice assortment in the discounts of either free shipping or marked down products so I head straight to that section because I am cheap. The offers can be found from the main page by going to the Special Offers link on the top of the page. There you will find items that qualify for free ground shipping,Cheryl's specials, and internet only specials.

Shipping Charges
Shipping is ground delivery determined by price to each address. Shipping would be approximately $5-$11 depending on how much you spend. There are specials each month which include free ground shipping. In support of the troops, there is complimentary shipping to any AFP/FPO address.

Payment Methods
I think all payment methods are covered. The list includes: VISA, Master Card, American Express, Discover, Check, Money Order, and Corporate Billing (call 800-433-1787 for Corporate billing).

Sales tax only collected for the state of Ohio.

Overall
I have only pleasant things to say about my purchase or my many experiences browsing their website. In comparing the website to other cookie sites I think this one had higher quality tins and baskets to choose from, had a faster turn around on orders, and with free shipping ended up being cheaper than all the others I considered. I like their high quality commitment and I think their presentation both in gifts and website display is excellent. Their shipping is swift and priced fairly. I will be using Cheryl & Co. in the future and would gladly accept a gift from Cheryl & Co. anytime!
