General Questions

Who can order from this website? Is it for businesses only? 

We sell to individuals, organizations, and businesses and only have a $15 minimum order amount.  You can order items packaged by the bag, tub, box, or bulk case. Ordering multiple quantities of an item helps lower your shipping cost as compared to total order cost. You can also place an order and have it shipped to another location - such as a business or to a friend as a gift.

Can I pick up my candy order myself at your warehouse? 

Right now we do not have a pick-up option available. However, you can purchase candy items, including bulk lollipop cases, at our store/museum in Bryan, Ohio during business hours. Please see our store/museum page for hours of operation and address information.

Can I receive samples before making a purchase?

We may have similar items to purchase as an alternative. 

If you wish to keep your order open, we will backorder the item. The backorder will be cancelled if we cannot ship within 30 days, and your credit card will be credited.

Shipping Questions

What is the cost to ship my order?

We ship items via UPS, USPS, and Fedex (if required). Free ground shipping is included for all orders in the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii).  Expedited 2-Day and 1-Day shipping methods are available for an extra charge.  These expedited charges are based on order weight, destination, and speed.  Choose the shipping method you prefer when you check out.

Why is shipping so expensive?

Free Standard Ground shipping is included with your order for all orders in the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii).  Expedited 2-Day and 1-Day shipping methods are available for an extra charge, and are calculated by weight, destination, and speed. Bulk candy is heavy, so shipping costs can be high compared to other lighter items you may purchase on a web site such as jewelry, CDs, electronics, clothing, or flowers.

A 10% discount is applied to orders through our Spangler Auto-Ship subscription program. Take the hassle out of keeping track of it - we will do it for you!
