Hi Bakers,


So I have been asked to bake cupcakes for my daughters friend party.  I would usually charge a delivery fee, but in this case I will also have to bring my daughter to the party at the same time I will be delivering the cupcakes.  I kind of feel weird charging a delivery fee; should I?


Thanks

If it was me, I wouldn't charge.  But I would give her an invoice that shows that you didn't charge. Or mention that it was special that you didn't charge because your daughter was attending.  You don't want her telling people that you don't charge a delivery fee.

MyM invoice has a section for delivery so that's what made me think of it.  Thanks  I definitely will take your suggestions to at least show that i didn't charge her incase someone ask.

If I were delivering to somewhere I was invited I wouldn't charge for delivery either. It would be good to show her you're not charging her. Everyone appreciates a discount!

I wouldn't charge, but I also wouldn't be setting them up when I got there, either. And make sure to include fees for the boxes to transport if those are going to cost a lot. If it's just one box, not such a big deal.
