Frequently asked questions
🚚 How fast do you ship, and do you ship internationally?
We ship all orders within one business day because we know you’re excited to get your candles! Standard shipping usually arrives in 2 to 5 business days. If you need it faster, we offer express shipping for $5 (1 to 3 business days) or even overnight shipping. International shipping starts at $24.95. If you need more details, just reach out—we’re happy to help!
📦 What if my candle arrives damaged or incorrect?
We’re so sorry if this happens! Just send us a picture of the damaged or incorrect item, and we’ll send you a replacement right away.
🕯️ What are the candles made of, and where are they made?
Every candle is made with love using 100% California-sourced soy wax, essential oil-infused fragrance oils, lead-free cotton wicks, and glass jars. All of our candles are hand-poured in-house at our cozy studio in Orange County, California, by our small, hardworking team.
🌸 What type of fragrance oil do you use, and which scents are the strongest?
We use essential oil-infused fragrance oils that are non-toxic, paraben-free, and phthalate-free—some of the cleanest options available. For bold scents, we recommend Mimosa Pineapple or Coconut Orange. Prefer something softer? White Tea and Jasmine or Rose Patchouli are lovely lighter options.
📏 What size are the candles, and how long do they burn?
We offer one large 9oz size! Each candle measures 2.86 inches wide by 3.35 inches tall and burns for 40 to 50 hours—plenty of time to enjoy the glow and fragrance.
✍️ Can I customize my candle?
Yes! You can personalize your candle by selecting “Yes” for a customized label and typing in your message exactly as you’d like it to appear.
🎁 Do you offer gift wrapping?
Yes! We have a limited supply of adorable pink gift boxes. If you’d like your candle gift-wrapped, just let us know, and we’ll confirm availability. A small fee applies for this extra touch.
🎉 Do you offer custom orders, bulk orders, or discounts?
Absolutely! Whether you’re planning a corporate event, giving out holiday gifts, or ordering in bulk, we’d love to help. We also offer discounts for larger orders. Send us a message or email us at hello@jameswax.com, and we’ll provide a custom quote.
🤝 Do you offer pick up service?
Yes! If you’re ordering 12 candles or more, we’re happy to offer local pickup from our Orange County studio. Just send us a message before placing your order to coordinate.
🔄 What is your return and exchange policy?
If your candle arrives in less-than-perfect condition, we’ll take care of it—just let us know. If you change your mind about your order, we charge a small restocking fee plus shipping costs. We also offer one free exchange if you’re not happy with your scent—just reach out, and we’ll make it right!
