WHAT HAPPENS IF MY ITEM(S) ARE DAMAGED OR RECEIVED INCORRECT ITEM IN YOUR ORDER.
Click Here to Report Damages.
Please inspect all items thoroughly upon receiving them. Sometimes your item/s can arrive broken in shipping. When this happens, we will get a replacement shipped to you as quickly as humanly possible. To report a damaged item, please visit our return/claim portal and submit a claim. If your order arrived damaged or defective, please notify us within 14 days of receiving your order. No Damage claims will be accepted after 14 days of receipt of your order.
What is required to submit a damage claim:



Missing items must be reported within 14 days of delivery. Claims made after 14 days will not be eligible for replacement or refund. Please review your shipment carefully upon arrival and contact us promptly with any issues.
Due to the nature of our candle products, we will replace (imperfections in the wood that may cause accidents/injury : i.e knot hole leaks, pinhole leaks, etc.) up to 14 days upon receipt of item(s). Any items with small imperfections that will not cause leak/damage (i.e small hairline cracks that will not cause leaks, small dips/chips, etc.) will not be accepted for exchange, unless the shipping is provided to us - but the candles will always have imperfections due to the nature of the hand-carved & hand poured products we create.
Both UPS and USPS may require us to provide the original box it was shipped in to file a damage claim, therefore, we may require the damaged item returned in the original box (packaged exactly as it was shipped). Unfortunately, we can not file any damage claims if the item is not in the original box/packaging. We will only email a return shipping label for damaged items - once the return is approved by us.
Our customers are our first priority - and we will take care of it. Please know that we take time & pride in packaging our items carefully, but sometimes mistakes/accidents do happen during shipping. We do our best to make sure this does not happen frequently, and we are not liable for any damage due to UPS/USPS shipping.
