Why We Only Ship Monday - Wednesday During the Summer Months

We take great pride in the quality and care that goes into creating our products. Whether it's our luxurious candles, perfumes, or other home goods, our priority is to ensure that every item reaches you in perfect condition. During the summer months, however, we make an important adjustment to our shipping schedule—one that’s designed to protect the integrity of your order and give you the best possible experience with our products.

The Impact of High Temperatures on Shipping

While summer is the season of sunshine and relaxation, it can also bring some challenges when it comes to shipping products, particularly candles. The temperature inside storage buildings and shipping trucks can soar to high levels, often reaching uncomfortable and even damaging extremes. When goods are left in these hot environments over the course of a long weekend (Friday to Monday), it can have a negative impact on the products—especially those that are heat-sensitive like candles.

Why Timing Matters: The Heat Factor

Candle wax is particularly vulnerable to high temperatures. When exposed to extreme heat for extended periods, the wax can soften or melt, which can lead to issues like tunneling, misalignment, or even spills. If a candle is placed upside down in a hot shipping truck or storage facility, the wax can spill or become deformed, creating a mess that would be unpleasant upon arrival.

To prevent this from happening, we ship Monday through Wednesday, which minimizes the amount of time a candle or other product might spend in a heated environment. By shipping earlier in the week, we ensure that your package doesn’t sit in a truck over the weekend, giving it less time to be exposed to the elements. This allows us to maintain the quality and integrity of our products and reduce the risk of any damage during transport.

Protecting Fragrances and Other Products

It’s not just the candles that we worry about. Many of our other products—such as perfumes, lotions, and oils—are also highly sensitive to extreme temperatures. Fragrances, in particular, can be altered or degraded when exposed to heat for long periods of time, affecting their scent quality and longevity. By shipping during the early part of the week, we’re able to reduce the exposure of these products to the extreme temperatures that can change their composition or scent.

When it comes to our commitment to quality, we believe it’s vital to protect all of the products you love from the negative effects of heat. By timing our shipments carefully, we ensure that each item arrives to you in the same pristine condition it left our facility.

Ensuring a Better Customer Experience

Our decision to ship Monday through Wednesday is all about providing you with the best customer experience possible. By avoiding long waits over the weekend, we reduce the risk of any potential damage caused by high temperatures. You can feel confident that your order will arrive in great condition—ready to be enjoyed, whether it’s lighting your favorite candle, spritzing a new fragrance, or indulging in luxurious self-care products.

We also encourage you to track your package closely after it ships, especially during the warmer months. If you’re not home to receive your order, consider having it delivered to a cooler location or rescheduled to avoid exposure to heat while in transit.
