Shipping
How long does shipping take?
Hotel Lobby Candle currently ships with FedEx, UPS, or USPS. Delivery can take anywhere from 2 to 6 days from when the package leaves our warehouse depending on your location. You may experience delays during the busy Holiday season due to increased carrier volume. Express shipments will be handled by the carrier that can guarantee 2-day delivery based on your purchase location. Selecting express shipping does not guarantee same day fulfillment although we will make our best effort to do so. Our warehouse is closed on weekends and Holidays. You will receive an email confirmation along with tracking once your order is on its way to you. Please see our Shipping Policy page for complete policy details.
Do you offer international shipping?
Yes, we ship to over 200 countries globally using Passport Shipping, our trusted international shipping partner. Once your order is placed, the package is handed over to Passport for export and to complete the delivery. You will have full visibility of the shipment from beginning to end via your tracking link, and have the ability to communicate directly with Passport should any issues come up that may cause a delay.
At checkout you will have the option to select Duties Paid (DDP) or Duties Unpaid (DDU). Paying duties and taxes up front will save you time when receiving your order as Passport will handle the payment and customs clearance for you. There are some countries where DDP is not available.
International shipments are insured with Passport via CoverX, a leading insurance provider. This insurance covers you for the full item value (or sale price) plus the original shipping cost for theft, loss, or damage during transit. You will receive a separate email from CoverX with details and simple instructions on how to confirm your coverage.
Hotel Lobby Candle is not responsible for import duties and taxes charged by your respective government.
All international orders are final sale.
Do you ship orders to the UK & EU? If so, how will orders be shipped?
Yes, we ship to the UK & EU. To get your order to you, we've partnered with Passport Shipping and they will be the seller for all orders to the UK for orders under £135 and orders to the EU for orders €150 and Under.

INGREDIENTS
What are your candles made out of?
We use an all natural soy wax, made from US grown soybeans.
Soy burns cooler and longer than paraffin, and as a renewable resource, it is superior for the environment. We believe that uncolored soy is not only safer to burn, but is also more beautiful in its natural color.
Our wicks are lead-free and are made of braided cotton.
Please note that our candles are made from all natural ingredients. Slight changes in color and small imperfections in the wax are perfectly normal, and will not affect the performance of your candle. We recommend burning your candles within one year for best performance.
Are your fragrances natural?
Our fragrances are a combination of essential oils and fragrance oils. All of our fragrances are phthalate-free and adhere to RIFM and IFRA standards for safety and purity.
What is the fragrance load?
Each candle boasts a 10% fragrance load.
