Burlington Bread Box is a home bakery in Burlington, North Carolina. We bake sourdough sandwich loaves and deliver them to neighbourhood porches. Our texts come from (336) 446-9578 and are always signed Burlington Bread Box.
Texts are optional. You can buy a loaf without agreeing to any of them, and consent is not a condition of purchase.
| Messages | What they are | Who gets them |
|---|---|---|
| Order and delivery | Your delivery day, a photo of your loaf on your porch, and one question about how it was. | Only people who tick the first box before checkout. |
| Marketing | Bake announcements, the weekly loaf offer and occasional neighbourhood news. | Only people who tick the second, separate box. |
| Weekly subscription | One text setting out every term of the weekly loaf; subscribers then get their weekly delivery texts. | Only people who reply YES to that terms text. |
Message frequency varies (about 1 to 4 messages a week). Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to opt out, or HELP for help. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Opt-in happens on our website, burlingtonbreadbox.com, before checkout. The screenshots below show every step as a customer sees it.
Every order button on the website opens the text message step below before the customer reaches checkout.
The customer sees two checkboxes. Both are optional and neither is ticked in advance. The “Continue to checkout” button works whether the customer ticks one box, both or neither. The exact words on screen are:
Want texts about your loaf?
Texts are how we confirm your delivery time and send you a photo of your loaf on your porch. They're optional: leave both boxes blank and you can still buy a loaf, and we'll email you about your delivery instead.
☐ Text me about my order and delivery (the delivery day, a photo of the loaf on my porch, and one question about how it was) at the mobile number I enter at checkout. I agree to receive automated text messages from Burlington Bread Box.
☐ Also text me bake announcements, the weekly loaf offer and occasional neighbourhood news. I agree to receive automated marketing text messages from Burlington Bread Box.
Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency varies (about 1 to 4 messages a week). Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time, or HELP for help. Questions: text (336) 446-9578. See our Privacy Policy, Terms and how our texts work.

The customer then enters their mobile number on our Stripe checkout page, which repeats the text message disclosure beside the payment button. A phone number is required to buy, because a home delivery needs a contact number, but giving it is not agreeing to texts: we text that number only if the customer ticked a box in step 2.
A customer who ticked the first box receives this confirmation as their first text:
Burlington Bread Box: you're opted in for order and delivery texts. Msg frequency varies. Message & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.
Anyone can also text us at (336) 446-9578. We reply to the message they sent. We start a weekly subscription only after the customer replies YES to a text that sets out its terms.
Each customer's answer is saved with their order: which boxes they ticked, the version of the wording they saw, and the date and time.
