Getting your order to you

When will it arrive?

Two stages: the time we take to pack it, and the time the carrier takes to deliver it.

1

Processing

1–2 business days We pack and hand over your order
2

In transit

3–5 business days Carrier delivers to your door
3

Delivered

Light it up Let that first burn reach the edge

Most orders arrive within 4 to 7 business days of being placed. Business days are Monday to Friday and exclude public holidays.

Processing your order

Orders are processed within 1 to 2 business days. Because everything is hand-poured in small batches, we check each item before it's boxed rather than pulling it straight off a shelf.

Orders placed on a weekend or public holiday begin processing the next business day. During launches, restocks, and the holiday season, processing can run slightly longer — we'll say so on the site if that's the case.

You'll receive an order confirmation as soon as you check out, and a second email with tracking as soon as your parcel is collected.

Delivery

Once collected, parcels typically arrive within 3 to 5 business days. Delivery estimates are provided by the carrier and are not guaranteed — weather, holidays, and carrier backlogs can all add time.

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your address and the size of your order.

Where we ship

We currently ship within the United States only. That includes all 50 states. We don't ship internationally at this time.

We're not able to deliver to [CONFIRM: PO boxes / APO-FPO addresses]. Please use a street address where someone can receive the parcel.

Tracking your parcel

Your tracking link arrives by email the moment your parcel is handed to the carrier. It can take up to 24 hours for the first scan to appear — until then the link may show no movement, which is normal.

If tracking hasn't updated in 5 business days, email us at [email protected] with your order number and we'll chase it with the carrier.

Delivery address

Please double-check your address at checkout. We can only change it before an order is packed, so email us straight away if something is wrong.

Parcels returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address can be reshipped, but the customer is responsible for the second shipping charge.

Once a carrier marks a parcel delivered, responsibility passes to you. If a parcel is marked delivered but hasn't arrived, check with neighbours and your building's mail room first, then contact us within 7 days and we'll help open a claim with the carrier.

Returns

All sales are final

Because our candles, sprays, and diffusers are hand-poured in small batches and are personal-care and home-fragrance products, we do not accept returns or exchanges, and we don't offer refunds for change of mind, scent preference, or accidental orders.

Please read the product description and scent notes carefully before ordering. If you're unsure which scent suits your space, email us before you buy — we're glad to help you choose.

Cancelling an order

If you need to cancel, email [email protected] immediately. We can usually cancel an order that hasn't been packed yet. Once it's packed or handed to the carrier, it can't be cancelled.

Damaged or incorrect items

All sales being final doesn't mean you're stuck with a broken candle. If your order arrives damaged, or we've sent you the wrong item, we'll put it right.

  • Email [email protected] within 7 days of delivery.
  • Include your order number, a photo of the item, and a photo of the outer packaging.
  • We'll send a replacement or issue a refund — whichever you prefer.
  • You won't need to ship anything back to us.

Please keep the box and packing material until the claim is settled. Carriers usually require photos of both when a parcel is damaged in transit.

What isn't a defect

Coconut wax is a natural material, and hand-pouring means small variations between batches. The following are characteristics of how our products are made, not faults:

  • Frosting — a fine white crystalline bloom on the wax surface.
  • Slight colour variation between batches of the same scent.
  • Uneven wax surface after a burn, or small marks where the wax meets the glass.
  • Scent strength varying with room size, ceiling height, and airflow.

Our Candle Care Guide explains each of these and how to get the best burn from your candle.

Not sure which scent?

Since all sales are final, it's worth asking first. Tell us about the room and we'll point you to the right one.
