1. Overview
Welcome to the official Shipping Policy of www.candledropbox.com. As your dedicated online destination for carefully selected candle holders and premium candle accessories, we at Candle Dropbox have partnered with trusted, vetted local and international logistics providers to deliver every handcrafted piece in our curated collection — from chic brass match striker containers, industrial concrete candle trays, to bohemian seagrass candle lanterns — to your address safely, timely, and in perfect undamaged condition. This policy clearly outlines all standardized rules, service tiers, delivery timelines, costs, and relevant arrangements for all orders placed on our platform, to help you fully understand what to expect after you complete your checkout on our site.
By submitting an order and making payment on www.candledropbox.com, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to all terms laid out in this Shipping Policy. Our team strives to make every step of your delivery experience smooth and reliable, to match the same level of care we put into curating every cozy, beautiful candle accessory for our community of home decor lovers.
2. Order Processing Period
Before your order leaves our local warehouse, every item will go through our strict multi-step preparation process:
- All orders submitted and paid for successfully before 3PM UK local time on working days will be arranged for processing on the same day. All orders completed after 3PM on working days, or on weekends and UK public holidays, will be processed on the next following business day.
- Our warehouse team will conduct a full quality check for every single product you ordered: we will inspect the surface of the candle holder, match storage jar or candle tray to ensure no scratches, chipped edges or manufacturing defects exist, double check that the SKU and specifications of the item exactly match what you selected at checkout, then pack the product with shock-absorbent protective bubble wrapping and custom corrugated boxes, to avoid any possible damage that may occur during long-distance transit.
- For orders with pre-sale items that are clearly marked with a pre-order label on their product detail page, the maximum additional processing time will be 7 to 14 working days, and we will send you a separate notification email to inform you of the exact estimated dispatch date once your pre-order item is ready for shipment.
3. Shipping Service Tiers, Coverage and Delivery Timelines
We provide three flexible shipping options for customers located in different regions, to fit your different timeline and budget needs:
3.1 United Kingdom Domestic Shipping
- Standard UK Delivery: This is our default low-cost shipping option, applicable to all addresses within mainland United Kingdom. The delivery time after dispatch is 3 to 5 working days, with a flat rate shipping fee of £3.99. All orders over £40 that are delivered to UK mainland addresses automatically qualify for free standard shipping, no extra code required at checkout.
- Express UK Delivery: For customers who hope to receive their candle accessories faster, this tier of service provides 1 to 2 working day delivery after dispatch, with a shipping fee of £7.99. Orders placed before 3PM UK time on working days can even be arranged for same-day dispatch for express service, to get your items to your door as quickly as possible.
- Please note that for remote areas including Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland regional islands and other UK off-shore isles, the delivery timeline may take an extra 2 to 3 working days than the standard domestic delivery schedule.
3.2 European Economic Area (EEA) Shipping
We ship all our premium candle accessory collections to all 30 countries and regions in the EEA. The standard EEA shipping service takes 7 to 12 working days after dispatch, with a flat rate fee of £8.99. All orders over £70 qualify for free standard shipping to EEA addresses. For expedited EEA shipping, the delivery time is 3 to 6 working days, with a shipping fee of £16.99. All EEA customers do not need to pay additional hidden customs duties for orders under 150 euros, as we have pre-paid all relevant import VAT and clearance fees for you.
3.3 International Rest of World Shipping
For customers located in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other non-EU overseas regions, we offer tracked international shipping service that takes 10 to 18 working days after dispatch, with a flat rate fee of £14.99. All orders over £120 qualify for free international tracked shipping. Please note that for rare remote international regions, the delivery timeline may extend to 25 working days at maximum, due to local customs clearance procedures and long transit routes. Any applicable customs duties or import taxes that apply for orders placed outside the UK and EEA are the sole responsibility of the customer, as these charges are determined and collected by your local customs authority and are out of our control.
4. Shipping Tracking Mechanism
As soon as your order is dispatched from our warehouse, we will immediately send a formal shipment confirmation email to the email address you used for ordering. This email will include your unique order shipment tracking number, and the official link for you to check the real-time logistics status of your parcel at any time. You can also view the latest tracking updates and estimated delivery window directly in the “My Orders” section of your registered account on www.candledropbox.com. We recommend you keep an eye on the tracking status, so that you can arrange to receive the parcel at the appropriate time, and avoid failed delivery attempts caused by absence at the delivery address.
5. Delivery Related Policies
- Delivery Address Modification Request: If you need to modify your delivery address after submitting the order, you can contact our customer support team before your order is dispatched. We will modify the address for you free of charge as long as the order has not been shipped out. Once the parcel has been dispatched and handed over to the logistics provider, we cannot alter the delivery address any more.
- Failed Delivery and Parcel Redelivery: If the courier attempts to deliver your parcel but no one is available to sign for it, the courier will leave a delivery notice at your door, and you can follow the instructions on the notice to rearrange redelivery, or pick up your parcel at the designated local courier pickup point within 7 calendar days. If the parcel is returned back to our warehouse due to unsuccessful delivery caused by missing delivery address, repeated absence or your refusal to receive the parcel without valid reasons, you will need to cover the extra return shipping fee and new re-delivery cost if you wish to have the items shipped to you again.
- Lost Parcel Protection: Every order shipped by Candle Dropbox is fully covered by our logistics protection. If your parcel is confirmed to be lost in transit by the logistics provider after 10 working days past the maximum estimated delivery timeline, you can contact our support team, and we will arrange a full re-shipment of your order for you at no extra cost, or process a full refund for you according to your preference.
6. Damaged Shipment and Exception Handling
If you find that the outer packaging of your parcel is severely damaged upon receipt, or the items inside are broken or scratched due to improper handling during transit, please take clear photos of the outer packaging and the damaged items, and send these proof materials to our customer support team within 7 calendar days after you sign for the parcel. Our team will verify your situation within 2 working days, and arrange a free reshipment of the corresponding replacement items, or issue a full or partial refund for the damaged products according to your choice.
