Shipping & Returns

SHIPPING & DELIVERY
Shipping will depend on the weight of your order, as our 100% handmade candles weigh approximately 0.7kg including the glass and soy wax. Please find shipping rate examples for typical orders attached below;

United Kingdom
From £5.45

Europe:
From £11.95

United States & Rest of the World:
From £22.95

All our products are 100% handmade to order, please kindly allow 3-5 days for your item to be prepared and dispatched. Natural Soy Wax requires what is known as a "curing process" which allows boy the wax to set, and also the fragrance to blossom. We do this to deliver the highest quality product we can to you, and during times of high demand please note there may be a slight delay in your order but we are working as hard as we can to ship everything to the quality we pride ourselves on. Estimated turnaround times for order to delivery (including the time to create your products) is around 7 - 11 working days for the United Kingdom. During exceptionally busy periods (we will have a banner on the top of our website to notify customers of influxes of orders) this will be delayed by a day or two, so please bare with us :)

Please note "frosting" which is a natural process in preparing soy wax for candle use, is not classed as "defective" and will not affect the way in which you candle burns. Due to the formula and ingredients of natural soy wax, this is a completely natural occurrence with all soy wax based candles, and is absolutely nothing to worry about.

Measurements for each sized candle along with the burn times are displayed on all of our products. We will not accept returns for "size" reasons so please carefully read the description to check which candle size you are ordering.
