For orders received by 10:00 am (EST), we use reasonable efforts to process and ship such orders that same day, but we do not guarantee it.  During our busy season (September 1-December 20), orders may take several days to process and ship due to order volume.

When the purchase price is paid through your Payment Account (defined below), your order is considered "Processing Status".  Finally, upon processing, orders enter the "Shipped Status", and are given tracking numbers.  You will be emailed the tracking numbers when your order is shipped. You will be able to track your packages (after 5:00 pm) through the email you receive.  You can also track the status of your order on our website by entering your order ID# and your email address. 

We do NOT have a printed catalog.

PRICING

The pricing for each product shall be clearly displayed on the Website at the time you purchase the products from the Company on the Website.  Virginia Candle Supply reserves the right to change its prices, at any time, without notice.  Revised prices will be available on the Website.  The amount of any local, state, federal, provincial or international tax or tariff levied on the goods, including, without limitation, sales or use tax if required to be collected by the Company, shall remain be your sole responsibility, and where required to be collected by the Company, shall be added to each order. 

If the Company receives an order that includes items that are out of stock, the Company will contact you via telephone and/or email to inform you of the out of stock items and either credit your payment method for the amount of the out of stock merchandise or offer to hold your order until the item is available.  

PAYMENT

Goods can be purchased by you through the Website by credit card (currently accepted are American Express®, Discover®, MasterCard® and Visa®), by debit card, by using your PayPal® account, or by using any other method of payment authorized on the Website at the time of order (each a “Payment Account”).  By using a Payment Account with the Website, you represent and warrant to the Company that (a) you are the holder of the Payment Account submitted for approval to the Company; (b) the Payment Account billing information is correct, current and complete; and (c) you authorize the Company to charge the provided Payment Account for the total amount of the purchase, plus any shipping and taxes, for which you have submitted the Payment Account.

No CODs or checks are, or will be, accepted.  We are not responsible for delays in order processing due to declined Payment Accounts.       

SHIPMENT

Title in and risk of loss for all goods sold on the Website shall pass to you upon delivery of the goods to carrier F.O.B. the Company’s facility and/or warehouse.  All packages will be shipped with tracking information. (Once a package shows delivered by the carrier, Virginia Candle Supply is no longer responsible.) All shipping costs shall be your sole responsibility unless otherwise noted when ordering.  For any merchandise that is returned to the Company due to an incorrect address provided by you, you shall be responsible for all additional shipping costs incurred by the Company and you hereby authorize the Company to charge your Payment Account for such additional shipping costs.

DELIVERY

All shipping is currently done through FedEx, USPS, and UPS, although the Company reserves the right to change this at any time.  You are solely responsible for all shipping and delivery costs for the delivery method selected by you when placing your order.  You authorize us to bill such shipping and delivery costs to your Payment Account.  Because of the many possible variables of an order, on-line shipping charges may not calculate properly in the check-out process. In this case, shipping charges may be billed separately from your order, and you authorize us to bill such shipping and delivery costs to your Payment Account.  Once an order is placed, it is given a specific order ID#. Our shipping system integrates with these numbers so that your package is shipped as fast as possible to you.

All of our merchandise is inspected for damage prior to shipping.  If you receive products that were damaged during transit, please call us at (423)726-2400 or email us at [email protected] to report the damage, and we will assist you in placing a damage claim with carrier who made your delivery. In the event that your product is damaged and we are not reshipping the product, we will issue a store credit for the damaged products. Any damages should be reported within 72 hours of delivery. After 72 hours, all orders are presumed to be accurate and free of damage, and no returns, refunds or exchanges will be accepted after that time.

Virginia Candle Supply will not be held responsible for lost or stolen merchandise, including, without limitation, any lost or stolen merchandise that resulted from you choosing to allow delivery of your order without a signature.   If you find that your package has been lost or stolen, contact us at (423)726-2400, and we will assist you in making a claim and/or placing a tracer on your package.  Please be advised that tracers and other requests only initiate investigation into delivery issues and can take weeks to progress or be resolved.  If it is discovered that your package was stolen, we suggest that you file a police report with your local police department.

RETURNS

Due to sanitary and other reasons, all sales, including, without limitation, fragrance, color, wax and Bath-n-Body Products, are final and may not be returned, exchanged or refunded unless a particular order has missing items or contains incorrect products, in which event, returns, exchanges and refunds will be accepted for the missing or incorrect products only.  All orders that have missing items or that contain incorrect products must be reported to the Company within 72 hours of delivery. After 72 hours from delivery, all orders are presumed to be accurate, and no returns, refunds or exchanges will be accepted after that time.

To process a claim regarding missing or incorrect products, contact us within 72 hours of delivery at (423)726-2400 or [email protected].  Incorrectly shipped items will be returned, exchanged or refunded only if returned to us unopened and in its original packaging at the following address: 5512 Fort Henry Dr., Kingsport, TN 37663.  Upon receipt of the returned item, we will fully examine it and notify you via phone or email, within a reasonable period of time, whether you are entitled to a return. If you are entitled to a return, we will issue a refund in the form of a store credit in the amount of your purchase price. 

Permissible returns, exchanges and refunds do not include any shipping and handling charges.  Shipping charges for all permissible returns, exchanges and refunds must be prepaid and insured by you. You are responsible for any loss or damage during shipment. We do not guarantee that we will receive your returned item. Shipping and handling charges are not refundable, and any amounts refunded will not include the cost of shipping.

CANCELLATION

Once an order is placed and accepted, it cannot be cancelled by you.  Exceptions will not be made to this cancellation policy.  Any additions to an order will be treated as separate orders and assigned a separate order number.  It is crucial that you double and triple check the accuracy of your order before clicking the “place order” button during checkout.  The Company will not be held accountable for and will not correct any order mistakes that you have made.  The Company will not add to your order or take away from your order. The Company reserves the right to combine orders for shipping. Shipping is based on weight and will not be refunded.

There is a fifteen (15%) restocking fee charged for any order that the Company cancels due to lack of payment in full.  For example, we have had incidences where international customers have paid for their merchandise, we have packed their order and emailed them to alert them that they need to pay for shipping, but the customer fails to pay for the shipping. In such an instance, your credit card will be credited the amount of your merchandise minus a fifteen (15%) restocking fee due to costs incurred by the Company in processing, packing and unpacking your order.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

The Company attempts to be as accurate as possible in describing products and merchandise for sale on the Website.  However, the Company does not warrant that product descriptions or other content on the Website is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.  

Please be advised that due to the high concentration of fragrance oils, we suggest that you test them in final products before calling us.  Fragrances smell different when diluted in finished products rather than when concentrated in the bottle.  Additionally, Fragrances with the same name, but from different manufactures, may smell differently.  Citrus fragrances in concentrate may resemble a fuel type aroma.  Fragrances used in bath and body products may discolor and make the final product thin or diluted.  

Waxes may differ from batch to batch.  As a result, we cannot guarantee that all batches of wax will be identical or perform exactly the same.

We suggest testing products purchased through the Website prior to making large quantities of your finished goods.  The Company is not responsible for any products or equipment you used when making your finished products.   We will not refund customers for raw ingredients used to make finished products.
