FAQ
What comes in a box?
Each monthly box holds a hand-selected mix of Persian pastries & sweets and tea, an illustrated culture guide for that month’s theme, and a few surprises beyond pastries, shipped with your Artisan Pastries. Contents change every month.
How much does it cost?
Choose a plan. The longer the plan, the lower the price per box:
- Monthly: $29.99 per box, billed every month.
- 3 months: $28.49 per box, $85.47 billed every 3 months.
- 6 months: $26.99 per box, $161.94 billed every 6 months.
- 12 months: $25.49 per box, $305.88 billed every 12 months.
Shipping is $6.00 per box to the US, $8.00 per box to Canada, and a flat $19.99 per box to more than 200 other countries. Choose your country in the cart to see your exact rate. On 3-, 6- and 12-month plans, shipping for every box in the plan is charged upfront. Sales tax is added where required.
When am I charged and when does my box ship?
You're charged when you subscribe. Monthly plans are then charged on the same date each month; 3-, 6- and 12-month plans are charged upfront for the whole plan and then on the same date when the plan renews. Either way, one box ships each month, within 14 calendar days of your initial order or the monthly shipment date stated in your order confirmation, and you'll get tracking by email.
Can I cancel, skip or pause?
Yes, anytime, with no fees. Cancel before your next billing date and you won't be charged again. You can cancel online at Manage / cancel subscription. See our Subscription & Auto-Renewal Terms.
I have a food allergy. Is the box safe for me?
Our Artisan Pastries commonly contain tree nuts (pistachio, almond, walnut), wheat, milk, eggs and sesame, and are made in a kitchen that handles all of these. We can't guarantee any item is free of allergens. Please read every label before eating.
Where do you ship?
Worldwide. We ship from the USA to the United States, Canada and more than 200 other countries. Choose your country in the cart to see your shipping rate: $6.00 per box in the US, $8.00 to Canada and a flat $19.99 per box everywhere else. Boxes going outside the US may owe import duties or taxes on delivery.
Can I send a box as a gift?
Yes, anywhere we ship. Choose Gift a Box under the plans, pick 1, 3, 6 or 12 boxes, and add their address and your gift message at checkout. No prices go in the box. For corporate and event gifts, email yasmin@eatyasu.com.
Where are our products made?
Our Artisan Pastries are made by local bakers here in the USA.
Where do your ingredients come from?
We make our Artisan Pastries with organic, locally sourced ingredients.
How do you choose each month's theme?
Each month explores a Persian region, season, celebration or tea tradition. We select Iranian pastries & sweets and surprises to suit the theme.
What do the locations on products and in the pamphlet mean?
Each location is where that pastry or tea is traditionally enjoyed, often at asrooneh, the Iranian afternoon tea break. They celebrate the regional traditions behind each pastry.

Subscription & Auto-Renewal Terms
Last updated: November 1, 2026
Summary: You choose a plan: Monthly ($29.99 per box), 3 months ($85.47), 6 months ($161.94) or 12 months ($305.88), plus shipping per box ($6.00 in the US, $8.00 to Canada, or the rate shown in the cart for other countries) and any sales tax. Your plan renews automatically at the same price and length, and your payment method will be charged at the start of each new plan period until you cancel. You can cancel anytime, online or by email, and you won't be charged again.
1. Automatic renewal
When you subscribe, you authorize us to charge your payment method immediately for your plan and its shipping, plus applicable tax: $35.99 for the Monthly plan, $103.47 for 3 months, $197.94 for 6 months or $377.88 for 12 months (to Canada: $37.99, $109.47, $209.94 or $401.88; to other countries, the plan price plus that country’s shipping rate for each box, as shown in the cart and at checkout). We will charge the same amount again on the same calendar date at the end of each plan period (or the last day of the month, if that date doesn't exist) until you cancel. Before you complete your first purchase, we'll ask you to confirm that you agree to automatic renewal.
2. How to cancel
You can cancel at any time, with no cancellation fee:
- online, anytime, at Manage / cancel subscription (enter the email on your subscription and we'll send you a secure sign-in link); this link is also in your subscription confirmation, or
- by emailing yasmin@eatyasu.com with the subject "Cancel" and the email address on your subscription.
Cancellations received before your next billing date stop all future charges. Boxes you have already paid for still ship, and your subscription ends after the last one. Prepaid plans: if you cancel a 3-, 6- or 12-month plan within 14 days of purchase and before your first box ships, we'll refund it in full. After that, the remaining paid boxes ship as scheduled and the plan won't renew; we don't give partial refunds for unshipped boxes in a prepaid plan, except where the law requires.
3. Confirmation and reminders
After you subscribe, we'll email you a confirmation that includes these terms and how to cancel. Where required by law, we'll also send a reminder before a renewal charge.
4. Skipping or pausing
Contact yasmin@eatyasu.com before your next billing date to request a skip or pause. We will confirm the revised shipment and billing schedule before applying the change. Canceling renewal does not require approval of a pause request.
5. Price changes
If we change the subscription or shipping price, we'll email you at least 30 days before the new price applies, giving you time to cancel. If you don't cancel, the new price will apply from your next billing date after that notice.
6. Failed payments
If a renewal payment fails, we may retry it and will let you know. If we can't collect payment, we may pause or end your subscription.
7. Gift boxes
Choose Gift a Box to send a box as a gift. You pay at checkout for the number of boxes you choose (1, 3, 6 or 12, including shipping, plus any tax). A gift is not a subscription. Enter the recipient’s name and address as the shipping address and add your name and an optional gift message at checkout; we include your message in the box. Gift boxes ship one box each month, and we never put prices or receipts in a gift box. Your receipt is emailed to you. Our prepaid-plan refund rules above apply to gifts.
Shipping Policy
Last updated: November 1, 2026
Where we ship
We ship to the United States, Canada and more than 200 other countries. Choose your country in the cart before checkout; secure Stripe checkout then accepts any address in the international shipping area, so the shipping you pay always matches where your box goes. We can't ship to countries under U.S. sanctions or where postal service is suspended, including Russia, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Somalia.
Cost
Shipping is $6.00 per box to the United States, $8.00 per box to Canada, and a flat $19.99 per box to every other country we ship to. Your exact rate appears in the cart as soon as you choose your country. International boxes travel by USPS First-Class Package International with tracking. On 3-, 6- and 12-month plans, shipping for every box in the plan is charged upfront with the plan. When available, Market items ship free with a box, or for one flat charge at your country’s rate when ordered on their own.
Orders outside the United States
Prices are in U.S. dollars, and your card issuer may apply a currency conversion fee. Boxes are shipped from the United States, so import duties, VAT, GST/HST or carrier fees may be charged on delivery; these are the recipient's responsibility. International delivery usually takes 1 to 4 weeks. Some countries restrict imported food; please check that baked goods, sweets, nuts and tea can be received where you live.
When your box ships
One box ships each month, within 14 calendar days of your initial order or the monthly shipment date stated in your order confirmation. Once your box ships, we'll email you a tracking number. The 14-day period is a dispatch promise, not a delivery guarantee. Transit time depends on your location and the carrier. When available, Market-only orders ship within 14 calendar days of purchase. If we cannot ship within the promised period, we will ask for your consent to the delay or refund the unshipped order.
Freshness
Our Artisan Pastries are baked and packed close to shipping and sealed for freshness. Please open your box promptly, check the best-by date on each item, and store items as labeled. In very hot weather, some chocolate- or butter-based items may be swapped for heat-stable Artisan Pastries.
Address accuracy
Please make sure your shipping address is correct. We aren't responsible for boxes sent to an address entered incorrectly, but we'll help however we can.
Lost or late boxes
If your tracking shows no movement for 7 days, or your box hasn't arrived within 10 business days of shipping, email yasmin@eatyasu.com and we'll work with the carrier and, if needed, send a replacement or issue a refund.
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last updated: October 7, 2026
Cancellations
You can cancel your subscription anytime. See Subscription & Auto-Renewal Terms for how. Canceling stops future charges; it does not refund boxes that have already been charged. Prepaid 3-, 6- and 12-month plans can be refunded in full if canceled within 14 days of purchase and before the first box ships.
Returns
Because our products are food, we can't accept returns of opened or unopened items, for health and safety reasons.
Damaged, missing or wrong items
If anything arrives damaged, spoiled, missing or incorrect, email yasmin@eatyasu.com as soon as possible, preferably within 7 days of delivery with your order number and a photo. We'll send a replacement or refund the affected item, or the whole box if needed.
Charged by mistake
If you were charged after canceling, or charged twice, email us and we'll refund the charge in full.
How refunds are issued
We issue approved refunds to the original payment method; your bank may take 5 to 10 business days to post the credit. Nothing in this policy limits rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.
