I want to buy macaroons in a large quantity - is there a discount? And how quickly can I get them?

Ilze's Chocolat • Jul 06, 2019

Buying macaroons for weddings, parties, corporate gifts or for any purpose that makes a bulk order necessary

 

Many of our customers call to inquire about volume orders. There could be a range of reasons, but the most common one is a wedding or a special event, where French macaroons would lend extra colour, flavour or style to the occasion.

We always point out that our macaroons are not machine-made; every one is lovingly prepared in our kitchen by real artisans. And each order is prepared individually for the customer who placed the order. We do not prepare your order from frozen macaroons, such as some other well-known brands do in the UK. That is why you will be able to taste the difference and experience the freshness when you bite into them. That is why it is important that you contact us as early as possible with your request. 

 


 

For large orders, we do offer two discount levels: for more than 40 macaroons (2 gift boxes) of the same kind or more; and then for more than 100 macaroons (5 gift boxes) of the same kind or more. These discounts are available on our Gift box of 20 Macaroons - Mixed Flavours , or on any Single Flavour Gift Box of 20 Macaroons - and there are more than 20 flavours to choose from!

 


So how do you get the discount? Very simple: you specify the number of gift boxes of 20 that you need, and the discounted price will be applied automatically. For example, if you need 200 macaroons, select 10 boxes of your chosen flavour and the discounted price will be displayed.

One other point: For large orders, it is better to order well in advance and to then specify the date by when you need the macaroons. This can be done on our website in the following way: When you are requested to state the delivery method, choose
"Reserve delivery for a specific future date: Enter required date under ORDER COMMENTS on next page". Don't forget then to enter the date that you want the macaroons on the following page.

 


 

Nevertheless, if you need your large order of macaroons quickly, and you place your order early in the morning, we are able to deliver the same evening or early the next morning in most areas within the Greater London region. This delivery option will be displayed automatically for large orders where you have specified an address within the eligible zone. Also do consider the option of picking up your order from our shop in Eastcote, HA5. Who knows, you may find some amazing chocolate at the same time! For this option, simply select "In-store pickup" as your delivery method, and you will be asked to specify the time and date of pick-up.

At the moment, most of us need to be careful how we spend our money and still be able to buy all the treats that we would like to. So we have implemented a loyalty programme whereby you can earn points with every purchase, when you refer a friend, or when you post about us on Facebook or Twitter. These points can then be converted to discounts on your next order. In fact, by simply registering on the program, you will already have earned 100 points, which take you halfway to the first reward at 200 points! So how does it work? 1. Welcome bonus: 100 points! 2. You get 3 points for every £1 you spend on our website. 3. Share about us on Facebook or Twitter, 50 points each. 4. Subscribe to our mailing list, 50 points. 5. And you can earn more points buy adding your birthday or referring a friend. And what are the rewards? Today, we announce three rewards: 1. 200 points: Free shipping on your next order,... 2. ...or 10% off on your next order. 3. 400 points: 20% off on your next order. Yes, if you place a large order for all your Christmas chocolate gifts, the 200 points that you earned just by registering and placing a first order can bring a very substantial saving. If you want to know more, just click on the orange icon with "Rewards" written on it on the right hand side of your screen (this presents as a round orange icon on smartphones).

Our shop in Eastcote remains open for takeaways during this lock-down period. So if you are able to come to the shop, we continue with our two special offers for pick-up; please have a look and place your order! If you have enjoyed some of our light lunches or treats in the shop during the last months, you may perhaps feel that you have "lost" something during lock-down. The good news is that we continue to offer these as takeaways. Better still, you can order it online for a specific pickup time and collect with minimum waiting time. Please see what we have on offer . But if you are unable to visit our shop, remember that our online store continues to offer our full range of chocolate and macaroon products. Do have a look!

"Hi there, I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful anniversary macaroons my husband received last week. I ordered your largest box & they were quite simply demolished within hours! Seriously we love a macaroon & we have tasted many over the years over afternoon teas. These are by far the tastiest , chewiest, yummiest, scrummiest macaroons we have ever had! We will be placing regular orders for these divine treats you so preciously create. Even the way they arrived in their packing was just simply perfect! Thanks again - already thinking of an excuse to order some more?! Kindest Regards, Holly" Isn't it just wonderful to get feedback like this? Such an email makes it possible for us to continue, even amid all the negative news brought about by the pandemic. Then again, if one decides to focus on something and you constantly strive to improve (in our case, chocolate and macaroons), then after 14 years you are bound to gain the edge; that is the reward of your focus. But we want to share our treats with more of you and encourage you to share it further by offering it as presents in a time when everyone needs encouragement. That is why we have two very special offers for those of you who are able to visit our shop or who are able to order online and collect from us.
