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 offer 2-day delivery based on your purchase location.

You will receive an email confirmation along with tracking once your order is on its way to you. Complementary domestic shipping does not apply to Alaska or Hawaii. Please see our Shipping Policy page for complete policy details.

CANDLE 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 minimum of a 10% fragrance load.
