Frequently Asked Questions
Tips to help you navigate your orders with The Boujie Bee.
Custom Creations
How do I place an order?
Custom Creations that are currently available can be ordered directly through the website. Because many of my items are handmade and/or personalized, availability and turnaround times may vary.
Can I request something custom?
Absolutely! Custom is kind of our thing around here. If you have an idea that you don't see listed on the website, please reach out. I'm happy to discuss your vision and let you know what's possible.
How long do custom orders take?
Turnaround times vary depending on the item, personalization, current order volume, and supplies needed. If you need something by a specific date, please contact me before ordering so I can confirm availability.
Do you offer local pickup?
Do you offer local pickup?
Yes. Local pickup is available in the South Charlotte, NC area. Pickup details will be provided once your order is ready.
Do you offer shipping?
Yes. Many Custom Creations can be shipped. Available shipping options will depend on the item.
Can personalized items be returned?
Because personalized and made-to-order items are created specifically for you, they generally cannot be returned or exchanged unless there is a problem with your order. If something arrives damaged or isn't right, please contact me so I can help.
Sourdough Starter
What’s included with dried starter?
Each dried starter order includes dehydrated starter flakes, instructions for reviving your starter, feeding guidance, and a beginner-friendly sourdough loaf recipe.
How long does it take to revive dried starter?
Most dried starters can become active within a few days.
What’s the difference between live starter and dried starter?
Live starter is active and ready to feed immediately. Dried starter flakes are dehydrated for storage and shipping and must be revived before baking.
