We usually ship regular retail orders within 2-5 business days, beginning the day after you place your order. Because our candles are not made until you order, this allows time to make your candles. Business days are Monday through Friday. Shipping time can take 2 to 5 days, depending on the delivery area the package is going to and the delivery method you choose. Tracking information is only available if you choose to ship UPS. It is not available with USPS Priority mail nor is it guaranteed you will receive your package in 2-3 days as stated on the USPS website. Insurance is included with UPS however, if you choose to ship via USPS insurance is available for an additional fee. You will receive an email notification once your order ships. We keep our website updated with the current estimated turnaround time, and if your order will take longer than this, we'll let you know right away. We only ship to the United States & Canada at this time.

Please contact UPS to find out if you are in a commercial or residential zone.

Your complete satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us. All of products are all hand poured, which makes each one unique. Many times a candle may look slightly different in color than the  website photo or a previous order.   However, if you are not completely satisfied with a purchase, return the (unused) product within 10 days of receipt for a full refund or exchange. We not responsible for the return postage. Please contact us for a Return Authorization number prior to sending anything back.  If the item has been damaged in shipping, please notify the carrier.

Special Orders


If you want a basic color change, just note this in the message box of the shopping cart when you are checking out. If the color you need is unusual, please check with us first before placing your order. (For example, we cannot do gold or silver.) If you need to match a certain color, we do require a sample so we can be sure we're giving you the shade you're looking for! If you're looking for a special fragrance, drop us a line to let us know. We may have it already in stock (we have access to hundreds of fragrances that are not listed as standard scents on our website). If not, we can probably find it and order it for you. In that case, it may add a week or so to the order time since we'll need to wait for the fragrance oil to arrive from our supplier. We would also have to test the oil for compatibility.

Samples

We do not offer samples of our candles but we do offer a sniffy  samples of any of our scents. If you're interested in receiving a sniffy of any of our fragrances, (a cotton swab, dipped in fragrance, and sealed in a mini Ziploc baggie), please send a self-addressed, stamped envelope with the fragrance you'd like to smell written on a note inside. Please send a SASE for each scent you are interested in (as not to co-mingle the scents). You are also welcome to request one free sniffy sample of fragrance with your order.
