Freeze dried sweets are fragile and sometimes bars do crack in the post. In cases where chew bars are broken, we do not offer refunds or replacements - sorry it isn't always perfect! We try our best!

If the postman delivers you crumbs, get in touch with a pic and we'll see what we can do.

We deal with these kinds of issues on a case by case basis.

First off, I'm sorry and I know it is super frustrating (it is when it happens to us). Your best bet is to:

1. Check your tracking: this will be emailed to you after you get your order confirmation
2. Check your neighbours: sometimes posties deliver to the people next door
3. Check outside, behind stuff... in bins: check all the classic frustrating locations posties leave parcels.
4. Get in touch: if you still cant find your parcel, let us know and we can give them a call on your behalf. Sorry it can take a while for them to investigate so it's always better to check first.

Freeze dried sweets are trendy treats that undergo a preservation process, originally invented by NASA for austronaughts (hence SpaceSweets) using freeze dryers.

This process involves freezing the sweets and then removing their moisture through a vacuum, leaving behind a lightweight, crispy, and crunchy version of the original treat.

Freeze-drying preserves the flavor and nutritional content while extending shelf life - to around 25 years. These snacks retain their taste and often have a unique texture, making them popular for hikers, campers, and space travel due to their long-lasting, lightweight, and convenient nature.

They can include fruits, candies, or even ice cream, offering a flavorful and portable snack option.

Freeze-dried sweets can be expensive for several reasons:

1. Specialized Equipment: The freeze-drying process requires specialized machinery and expertise, which can be costly to maintain and operate.
2. Time-Consuming: Freeze-drying is a time-intensive process. In most cases a batch can take 16-24 hours! It takes a long time to remove moisture from the sweets, and time is money in manufacturing.
3. High Utility Costs: Since we have to run our machines for so long, it cost a lot of money to power the pumps and blast chillers to make our products.
4. High-Quality Ingredients: Many freeze-dried sweets are made from high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture, which can be more expensive.
5. Low Yields: The freeze drying process results in low yields, as we can only fit so many on a tray, which leads to higher costs per pack - as we always pack our bags full. This is why other companies only give small portions!
6. Packaging and Presentation: Our freeze-dried sweets are packaged in airtight packaging to maintain their freshness, which adds to the overall cost.
7. Hand made: SpaceSweets products are all unwrapped, prepped and packaged by hand. We have a team of amazing Space staff working tirelessly to bring you amazing sweets!
