With five distribution centers across the country, we get your candle supplies to you quickly and affordably. Most orders placed by Noon local time qualify for same-day shipping, and our five-location network puts 1-day transit within reach for most customers. Here's everything you need to know about carriers, costs, and transit times.
Shipping Methods
We currently ship to the US, Canada, and military addresses (APO boxes). Any shipping methods available for your order display at checkout once your state and zip code are entered.
Carriers We Offer
FedEx
Our main carrier. Ground, Home Delivery, 2nd Day, and Standard Overnight. Available on all orders except military addresses and pallet quantities. Standard Overnight is not available in every area, so very rural addresses may not qualify for it.
USPS
For Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, continental-US PO Boxes, and military addresses. Combustible items must have a flash point of 165°F or higher to qualify.
LTL
For orders over 300 lbs or pallet quantities. We pass our significant freight discounts on to you, which keeps bulk orders cost-effective. Multiple carriers to choose from.
FedEx Ground vs. Home Delivery
Transit times for the two FedEx ground services are identical. The difference is the delivery days. FedEx Ground delivers Monday through Friday. FedEx Home Delivery delivers seven days a week and is available to residential addresses only. For example, in a two-day transit zone, an order placed Thursday arrives Monday by Ground or Saturday by Home Delivery.
Prefer to use your own freight carrier? We're happy to ship using your account number with the carrier of your choice. Give us a call to arrange it. For customer-arranged freight, you'll provide the bill of lading and schedule the pickup once your order is complete.
What You Should Know About LTL Shipping
LTL (less-than-truckload) is a little different from regular shipping. Larger items, like cases of wax and glass, are placed directly on a pallet, while smaller items are still placed in a shipping box for safe keeping. A few things to know before you choose it:
What is a lift gate?
A device on the truck that lowers the pallet to the ground. You'll need one if you don't have a forklift or loading dock at your delivery location.
Can I ship to a residence?
Yes. Our LTL carriers accommodate residential deliveries, though it may take an extra 1–2 days to arrange delivery.
Discounted Shipping
Orders weighing 250 lbs or more that ship FedEx Ground or Home Delivery automatically qualify for discounted pricing, typically 25%–35% savings over regular FedEx rates. You don't need to request it; the website calculates the discount for you in the cart.
International Shipping
We ship internationally only to Canada and US territories, via FedEx or USPS. If any duty fees or taxes are due on delivery, the customer is responsible for those charges. Expect the following FedEx Ground clearance entry fees based on your order's customs value:
Canada Clearance Entry Fees (FedEx Ground)
| Customs Value (CAD$) | Clearance Entry Fee |
|---|---|
| $0 – $40 | $0 |
| $40.01 – $60 | $15.45 |
| $60.01 – $100 | $19.30 |
| $100.01 – $150 | $25.50 |
| $150.01 – $200 | $29.00 |
| $200.01 – $500 | $45.35 |
| $500.01 – $1,000 | $50.75 |
| $1,000.01 – $1,600 | $60.10 |
| $1,600.01 – $3,300 | $70.00 |
| Over $3,300 | $70 plus $6.03 per additional $1,000 |
Time in Transit
These maps show estimated time in transit from our five distribution centers. Color-coded maps are for illustration only. Actual transit times are shown in business days, may vary, and may change without notice.
How to Estimate Your Delivery
To estimate when your order will arrive, account for both our processing time and the carrier's transit time:
- Our processing: Orders placed by Noon local time (online or by phone) qualify for same day shipping. We're closed Saturday and Sunday, so weekend orders are processed Monday in the order received.
- Carrier transit: Use the maps above. FedEx Ground delivers Mon–Fri; Home Delivery Mon–Sun (residential only); Standard Overnight and 2 Day deliver Mon–Fri.
- Express processing: Choosing Overnight or 2 Day reduces FedEx's delivery time. It does not change our processing time.
- The ship day doesn't count as transit: FedEx picks up from our dock at 5 PM, so the shipment day isn't a transit day. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are not business days.
