Shipping and Sales Tax

Shipping Information

Please proceed to the checkout page and shipping will be calculated on actual Fedex rates. You are not obliged to complete your order until you approve shipping charges.

Our shipping costs are based on the approximate shipping weight of your order - not on price points. Our shipping and handling rates are intended to compensate our company for processing your order, handling and packing the products you purchase and delivering them to you. The cost of shipping will vary based on what is ordered, the destination and the shipping method. If there is a problem with the shipping of your order after it's left our possession, you will have to take that up with the shipping company. If you pay for Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air or 3 Day Select and the package doesn't arrive on time, you will need to make a claim with UPS to have your shipping costs refunded.

Continental U.S. orders will be shipped via the shipping company you choose on checkout. All orders are processed and shipped in the order they are received.

Custom Orders - Because the candles, embeds, soaps, linen sprays and molds that we produce are custom-made, we must receive a financial commitment before we can begin work on your order.

Please allow 7 to 10 business days for orders to be shipped that contain custom products. Custom orders that have more than one dozen of a single item will require a longer lead time, please allow 15 to 30 business days, this will be determined by glassware availability for candle orders.
