Bakeries or chocolate shops in Athens Greece that hand-deliver?

I'm trying to send my Athens-based friend a time-sensitive gift. I don't live in Greece and I've been having a hard time finding places that will hand-deliver but which also accept a credit card order from outside of Greece. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I'm asking for hand-delivery because her address is not in the shipping systems for some reason. Last time I tried to ship her something via DHL from the US, it got stuck in customs and then they couldn't figure out how to deliver it and it got shipped back. She has triple-confirmed her address with me, and it's also a business. Thanks for any advice!

Best answer: "Vlachos Bakery Neos Kosmos" ("Traditional and handmade pastry every day!"; "Mpaknana 55, Neos Kosmos 117 44, Athens") had cookies on its online-order menu under "Accessories/Bars," and let me, placing an order from the US for delivery in Athens, get pretty far in the process. Facebook page linked on the ordering site (in the "see more information" section) has baked-goods photos.

Best answer: There are a couple of scooter delivery apps in Athens. This one worked on my north american phone and card: e-food. You can get almost anything delivered.
