ORDERING INFORMATION ~

BEFORE YOU ORDER:  Please be sure you have read our posted turnaround time and you have calculated shipping days to your address. For most every item we offer we also provide you with a UPS transit map showing the number of transit days to your address. Just click the "Please Read here before ordering" link.
Please provide a reasonable "Date Needed" based on our posted turnaround times...thank you

You can also check here: http://waxwizard.net/TA.html or CONTACT US about availability and turnaround times.

If you need an item quicker than our posted turnaround time please email us or phone to discuss your needs.
Our online shopping carty system is NOT capable of calculating upgraded shipping; this must be done by phone.



PLEASE NOTE:
We order from many suppliers across the US. Some will drop-ship directly to our customers, some won't; some have minimum order requirements; some items are in stock and some must be ordered... there are many variables..AND each supplier has their own set of rules as to returns, cancellations, and processing fees.

ALSO NOTE that prices and availability are subject to change without notice since our suppliers do not provide us with any advance notice of price increases, discontinued items or back-ordered items. Most times we learn of this when we phone them to place an order, or worse, when a shipment arrives and the Packing Slip states "Item Discontinued".

When you place an order with us we immediately place the order with our suppliers - when at all possible - this is to speed up your order, as some suppliers will not ship direct to our customers, so some items must first ship to us, then we ship to you from our FL location.  This process can take up to 2 to 3 weeks especially during busy seasons.  Once we place an order with our suppliers we cannot cancel for ANY reason. Please refer to our Store Policies for more information.

We make every effort to update our websites and accurately represent our products using images and detailed text descriptions. We encourage our visitors to contact us before ordering with any questions they may have. We've placed CONTACT US links on every page throughout our websites as well as a link to our 'handy question form'.

It is VERY important that you check your email regularly so you can reply timely.

We ask that you print the proof so you can see what the final product will look like.

This is very important because once we begin printing there can be no further changes and there are no refunds or returns for personalized items.

If you view the full-size proof in your web browser you'll notice how large it appears. That's because we'll be printing at 300dpi (dots per inch) to give the text a crisp professional look and to sharpen the resolution of the graphics.

Once we receive your approval we can begin the print job.

Orders normally should ship within 1-2 weeks after you receive your approval to print.


EDITS:
If you request an edit to your proof there will be an edit fee of $15.00 due to the time involved for graphic layout.

Please include any special instructions or requests to help us make the candle to suit you.


8. DATE NEEDED ~

10. SPECIAL CARE PACKAGING ~
We have our own packaging department because our candles require extra care in packaging to ensure safe delivery.

11. UPS, FedEx and USPS SHIPPING ~

We ship Monday through Thursday via UPS (United Parcel Service) and USPS (United States Postal Service) from southwest Florida (south of Tampa Bay). Delivery is between 1-6 business days within the US depending on your UPS Zone. For faster service we can ship UPS Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, or 3rd Day Select, however the shipping cost is considerably higher. Keep in mind that selecting 1st, 2nd or 3rd day air will only reduce the time in transit. This will not decrease our preparation time.

Our online Shopping Cart system is NOT capable of calculating upgraded UPS Air Service. For these services you'll need to contact us by phone.

PLEASE NOTE:

Neither FedEx or UPS will ship to a PO Box, APOs or FPOs. You need to provide them with a physical street address.

UPS charges us an $14.00 "Address Correction Fee" for ALL shipments with a bad address that they must correct. This could be something as simple as a missing Unit#, or a misspelled street name. This fee will be charged to the customer who provided the incomplete or bad address.

We cannot ship hand carved candles when your local temperatures are 90 degrees or more unless you agree in writing to accept the candles in whatever condition they arrives in. We normally place your order on hold until temperatures are 90 degree or less.


NOTE: We do NOT ship outside the contiguous United Stated (48 states)



a) SHIPPING COSTS ~
Our posted prices do not include shipping, special-care packaging, insurance fees or any optional shipping services. Shipping is paid by the buyer. Cost is determined by overall weight to your UPS zone. Basic shipping charges include $100.00 worth of insurance against damaged or lost merchandise. Additional insurance is charged at the current shipper's rates.

UPS AIR SERVICE: ALL Air Service shipments are based on weight AND dimensions of the package. In most cases we cannot provide the exact amount for shipping costs until your order is packaged and can be weighed and measured.

To estimate UPS shipping costs:
You can visit UPS online to use their Rate Calculator here:
http://wwwapps.ups.com/QCCWebApp/request?loc=en_US
Enter our town and zip code: Englewood, FL 34224
then your own - to get estimated shipping costs.

NOTE: If you are ordering multiple items please be aware that many of our suppliers will ship directly to you which will help save time in getting your purchases to you. Most of our suppliers do NOT charge a "drop-ship" fee, but some do. For items that will ship directly to you from our supplier we'll show those shipping charges separately on your Invoice or Receipt. This means you may have serperate shipping charges for each item you order since the items you ordered may come to you from difference suppliers.


^IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION - PLEASE READ:

We ship via UPS Ground Service unless you have specify and contact us to pay for an upgraded service.

b) ALTERNATIVE SHIPPING ADDRESS ~
It is very important that someone be at the ship-to address to receive the candles. Some UPS drivers leave packages outdoors if no one is home and outdoor temperatures are a big concern. If you'd prefer that we ship to another address, perhaps your work address, please let us know immediately since some of our suppliers will ship direct to you and we place your order with them immediately to quicken delivery to you.

c) UPS TRACKING & ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATES ~
When we ship your order our shipping software triggers UPS to email you the Tracking Information. This will allow you to track your shipment and know what day to expect delivery....so please be watching for an email from "Quantum View". This will allow you to click on a link to see where your package is in transit. Please remember that UPS Ground does not guarantee this delivery date-it's only an estimate. UPS Air Services DOES guarantee a delivery date.


CHECK YOUR UPS ZONE ~
Ground Time-in-Transit Maps provide full color U.S. maps illustrating the number of transit days for delivery via UPS ground services within the continental United States. Transit days are based on the 5-digit origin ZIP® Code entered. Follow the link below and type in our Florida zip code: 34224   http://www.ups.com/using/services/servicemaps/servicemaps.html

Click on the map to view UPS transit times from our location to yours


d) SUMMERTIME SHIPMENTS ~
During the summer we ship candles from our southwest Florida location on Mondays and Tuesdays only -so orders won't sit in a hot truck or warehouse over the weekend. Your order may also come from one of our many distributors across the U.S. If your UPS Shipping Zone is more than 3 days away from our shipping point we highly recommend that you upgrade your shipment to 3-Day Select or 2nd Day Air to avoid damage caused by the heat. We will be happy to quote you an estimated rate for the upgraded shipping. Please note: we have never had a candle melt over a 3-day transit, so we recommend UPS 3-Day Select Service.

PLEASE NOTE: We cannot ship hand carved candles when your local temperatures are 90 degrees or more unless you agree in writing to accept the candles in whatever condition they arrives in. We normally place your order on hold until temperatures are 90 degree or less.

PayPal considers a "Confirmed address" the same address that your credit card company bills to.

PayPal considers an "Unconfirmed address" to be a security risk and won't provide us with their usual Seller's Protection if we accept these type of payments.

You can phone in a Visa or MasterCard payment so we can avoid this "rule" at PayPal and ship to whatever address you require (within the 48 states).

When you pay thru PayPal you are authorizing electronic charges which are done immediately and you will receive an email Receipt from PayPal for your payment through their service.

We've been a Verified PayPal member since 06-16-2000 - which provides our buyers with more protection.

18. WHOLESALE INQUIRIES ~
We are not a wholesale company.... and we don't "wholesale" in the true meaning of the word... but we will give a discount (-if we can-) on bulk Orders. We offer candles and other products from many different sources across the US and Canada, in addition to those we manufacture. Some of our suppliers give us a better discount than others - some will drop-ship to our customers while others won't.... still others charge a fee to drop-ship... so you see there are allot of variables. We do NOT discount our handmade or personalized candles since they require so much time to make and we've already priced them as low as possible. Please request a Price Quote (see below).


19. PRICE QUOTES~
To receive a Price Quote, information about availabitliy, minimum order requirements, etc. Please provide:

1. Our "Order#" (assigned to each product we sell) - or- a very good description of the item and the address of the web page where you saw the item.

We invite you to visit our "Testimonials" page: http://waxwizard.net/testimonials.html  ...to read what other customers have had to say after receiving their orders.

On August 1, 2000 we joined an online Consumer Protection program called "ePublicEye" because we want visitors to our website to feel confident in ordering from us. As a part of our agreement with ePublicEye we invite our customers to rate our products and service in the form of a "report card" - which ePublicEye posts openly for others to read: http://pe.epubliceye.com/report.cfm?key=14248
We're very proud of our top ratings with over 260 "report cards" on file for you to read.

Note: The ePublicEye webite has since been abandoned but our Report Cards are still posted.

Thanks again for your interest in our candles and bridal accessories.
