Ordering a Korovai |
Numerous standard options and special orders are available. Please review the options, sizes and styles below before placing your order.
Shipping costs through UPS are based on next day or second day delivery. Second Day Air is the lowest level we ship – for freshness sake. Pick up and Delivery options are available if you are near your baker. Please see the shipping info tab for more details. If you order additional birds or shyshky for decorating or gifts they can ship earlier at a slower pace as they have a longer shelf life.
Payment options available - Certified Check; Money Order; Credit Card; PayPal; Venmo; e-Transfer(Canada). Full payment is due one week before the baking date. Credit Card, PayPal, Venmo and e-Transfer payments have a 4% fee added to cover those company's charges.
The best time to order your Korovai is 2-6 months before your wedding for scheduling purposes. Orders made within 1 week of baking date are considered rush orders and a $20 rush fee will apply.
