Whether you are online to buy a box or two, there is no denying macarons are a delicious indulgence. Yet, not all macarons are equal in creation. Before you hit the add to your cart button make sure you look for these nine things to look for when buying macarons.
1. Freshness Guarantee You don’t want your macarons to arrive stale and dry.
To ensure macarons arrive in peak condition, macarons are made fresh to order using the finest ingredients.
2. Allergen Information
Macarons contain allergens such as nuts, dairy and eggs. The seller's website and packaging should list all allergens, marked in bold or in capitals.
3. Look for Quality Ingredients
Quality ingredients are just as important as the baking technique. Check the ingredients list to ensure you are getting the freshest ingredients possible.
Look for brands that use high quality almond flour along with natural flavourings. Also check whether any additional ingredients such as the fillings or glaze have artificial flavours.
It is worth noting that macarons should not contain preservatives. To ensure you are getting a fresh product, check the dates on the packaging. Avoid macarons that are over a week old at all costs.
4. Consider Variety and Flavour Selection
When shopping for macarons online, consider the variety and flavour selection offered by the seller. Not all shops offer the same flavours, so it’s important to find a seller with a wide selection of macarons. Feeling adventurous? Try a combination of flavours to see which ones you enjoy the most. Another thing to consider is if the seller offers seasonal varieties or limited-edition flavours. These are usually only available around certain times of the year.
5. Read Labels Thoroughly for Manufacturing and Expiration Details When you're shopping for macarons online, it's important to pay close attention to the labels and ingredient lists. Make sure you read through the entire label for manufacturing and expiration details. It's also a good idea to investigate the company that made them, as well as the type of ingredients they use.
For example, if you're buying from an online store, research their vendor network and who they source their supplies from. You can often find the information on the company’s website. If a company is using natural ingredients, like real vanilla beans instead of artificial flavourings, that's a big plus.
Also, check the expiration date to make sure they aren't too close to spoiling before they even arrive at your door. You don't want to end up with macarons that are beyond their shelf life when you get them!
6. Reasonable Price Point
Price is always something to consider when buying macarons online. As a treat, macarons should not be hugely overpriced. Make sure you’re paying a reasonable price for the product you’re buying.
7. Check for Return or Refund Policies
The next thing you should consider is the store's return and refund policies. Find out if the store is willing to exchange or refund you in case there are any issues with your order. A clear return policy should be in place. Make sure they have a good customer service team who are available to answer any of your questions.
8. Consider Shipping and Delivery Logistics
Another important thing to think about when buying macarons online is, of course, the delivery. You want to make sure that your order is going to arrive safely and in one piece! Read through the shipping and delivery policies before purchasing.
When selecting a vendor, look for reviews about their shipping process, as this will tell you how reliable they are. Ask yourself questions like: How long will my macarons take to arrive? Are they frozen during transit? Do they offer overnight shipping? Will they allow me to track my package?

Tracking information is passed onto the buyer so they know when their package will be delivered. Also, if possible, opt for companies that use insulation boxes and packing materials to protect the macarons in transit. This way, you can have peace of mind knowing that your order will arrive in perfect condition!
9. Ensure You Are Buying from a Reputable Source
When buying macarons online, check the reviews and ratings on the seller’s website. Reviews will give you a good idea of the quality of their macarons, and how satisfied other customers have been.
If a seller has a lot of bad reviews, it's probably not worth your time or money. If most of the reviews are favourable and indicate positive experiences, then you have found a winning choice.
